RankNovelLila was momentarily puzzled. Was Matthew really following Michael's lead, or was he just naturally reserved? Taking advantage of Matthew's absence, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you two end up sticking together? Why does it seem like Matthew listens to you so much?" Michael thought for a moment. "Really? He listens to you a lot too. Maybe it's because I helped him out once. We barely spoke before that.
"Around the New Year, Cedric arranged for us to attend an event together, and there was sguy with a higher status who was deliberately ordering him around. Since we're from the scompany, I obviously couldn't let that slide, so I helped teached that guy a lesson." Lila thought back to the twhen she was in conflict with the Morgan family, and most of her artists were being managed by Ethan.
She had briefly looked into Matthew's past, and it was indeed tragic.
His parents didn't care for him, nor did his grandparents. He had begun working various jobs since his teenage years. When he worked at a bar, his good looks often made him a target for unwanted attention.
Though he appeared cold, he lacked affection.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, when people like Michael, Lila, and Ethan showed him kindness, Matthew becfiercely loyal.
Being kind was a good thing, but being too kind would make one vulnerable to deception. She would have to find tto teach him how to protect himself.
Ton set flew by, and soon, a week had passed.
Lila glanced at her phone, where Kieran had just sent her a message. It was a photo of Nova obediently drinking water.
With the cooperation between the Moore family, the Morgan clan, and their international operations starting up again, Kieran had been incredibly busy and hadn't visited all week.
At Morgan Group Headquarters, Kieran was about to wrap up a discussion with Faith regarding upcoming tasks before heading to the film set to see Lila when Cole knocked on the door and entered. "Mr. Morgan, speople from the Moore family are here." Before he even finished speaking, a large group of people strode in.
Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought they were here to stage a coup.
Leading the group was Faith's father, Dennis, the eldest of the Moore family. He attempted to wear a warm smile, but his sharp eyes made the expression seem unnatural.
Behind him were Harrison, Andy, and several assistants and bodyguards. The spacious president's office suddenly felt rather crowded.
"Kieran, it's been years! You've beceven more impressive," Dennis said with a smile as he approached.
Kieran didn't move, while Faith stood up and gave a slight nod to the group. "Dad, Uncle Harrison." Dennis shot her a chilly glance, while Andy looked on with an amused expression. After all, she had refused to help him the other day. Now that their father was here, this useless daughter was sure to be punished.
Dennis' hand had been extended for several seconds, but Kieran showed no intention of standing up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis eyes darkened slightly.
The Morgan family was truly getting arrogant! Back when Morgan Group was in crisis, they should have pressured Frances to intervene and completely disrupt their domestic businesses.
If they had done that, Kieran wouldn't have the nerve to act so high and mighty like he did now.
Finally, Kieran stood up. He was tall, with a cold presence which effortlessly overpowered Dennis'.
After a brief handshake, Dennis maintained his smile, though there was a thom in his heart.
"I ctoday to have a little chat with you." Kieran looked up. "Mr. Moore, please speak directly." "You're as straightforward as ever." Dennis chuckled. "You know, I only have one son, Andy. The future of Moore Group rests in his hands. This time, I specially sent him to learn from you, but the brat ended up causing trouble. When I found out, I immediately brought him here to apologize."
They decided to apologize now, after a week? And he called this an e immediate apology? m Kieran replied unhurriedly, "The future of the Moore family depends on him?" "Of course. He's my only son, after all," Dennis answered.
Faith found it amusing. Her father had enough illegitimate children to practically form a soccer team, yet he had the nerve to say "only son."
Kieran met Dennis' gaze. "I don't recall any law in this country stating ve that only sons have the right to inherit."
