RankNovelHearing Kieran's words, those in the room wore various expressions.
Faith lowered her gaze, determination shining in her eyes.
Daughters were never inferior to sons.
Andy glanced at her, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
Wishful thinking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDennis, naturally, picked up on the coldness in Kieran's words. He remained composed but was furious on the inside.
How dare this young man speak to him that way? But what puzzled him more was—hadn't Kieran firmly rejected the idea of an arranged marriage before? Why was he now speaking up for that worthless Faith? Kieran was not the kind of man to be swayed by sentimentality.
Could it be...
Dennis calculated in his mind. Had the two of them grown close after spending ttogether? With that thought, a smile quickly returned to his face.
"Of course, there's no such law. Faith is intelligent and obedient. She's far less troublesthan this brat. I've also been considering training her as my successor." Faith's still lowered eyes were filled with mockery.
Kieran's gaze remained cold, making Dennis shift his focus back to the main topic. "Andy, why are you still standing there? Have you forgotten what I told you before we came? And your own promise? Hurry up and apologize to Kieran!" Andy jolted, then stepped forward. The smug look he had shown Faith earlier was now completely gone.
"Kieran, I was an idiot that day. You don't know-those guys I was with were acting recklessly, and I got irritated. When I saw Lila, I lost my temper. Please, I hope you'll forgivefor the sake of the friendship between our families and our business partnership.
"I know you wanted Grandpa to cthat day, but you also know he's old and can't endure all that travel. If it'll make you feel better, I'll do anything. I'll even serve you coffee and water for the rest of our collaboration." He had already prepared an excuse before coming. Lying was effortless for him.
Everyone in the Moore family knew that Kieran wouldn't believe him, but surely, he wouldn't completely disregard their family's dignity? Faith glanced at Kieran, wondering how he would respond.
"Let Mr. Moore Senior cinstead," Kieran said, his tone indifferent.
Andy's face lit up. This meant that he was still considering their families' relationship.
But before he could speak, Kieran's cold voice sounded again. "But you're apologizing to the wrong person." The three men from the Moore family froze. They first looked at Kieran, then at Faith.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFaith lifted her gaze slightly. "Go apologize to Lila." As expected, all three of them frowned in unison.
Apologize? To a woman they didn't even respect?
"Kieran, do you really think this is appropriate?" Dennis was no longer smiling Kieran raised an eyebrow, his aura turning increasingly dangerous.
"What? Is my wife not worthy of an apology from the Moore family's son?" With his indifferent gaze fixed on him, Andy felt a chill down his spine and unconsciously took a step back.
Kieran casually picked up his coat, saying, "I have things todo Make yourselves comfortable." With that, he ignored everyone and walked out.
Cole followed him, while Faith hesitated for a second before following as well.
She had only taken two steps when Dennis called out, "Faith I have m something to say to you."
