Hearing 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 nced at her, his lips curling into a mocking smile.


    Wishful thinking.


    Dennis, naturally, picked up on the coldness in Kieran''s words. He remained


    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 calcted in his mind. Had the two of them grown close after spending


    time together?


    With that thought, a smile quickly returned to his face.


    "Of course, there''s no suchw. Faith is intelligent and obedient. She''s far less


    troublesome than this brat. I''ve also been considering training her as my


    sessor."


    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


    nowpletely 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 L, I lost my temper. Please, I


    hope you''ll forgive me for the sake of the friendship between our families and our


    business partnership.


    "I know you wanted Grandpa toe that 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 coboration."


    He had already prepared an excuse beforeing. Lying was effortless for him.


    Everyone in the Moore family knew


    that Kieran wouldn''t believe him, but


    surely, he wouldn''tpletely


    disregard their family''s dignity?


    Faith nced at Kieran, wondering how he would respond.


    "Let Mr. Moore Seniore instead," Kieran said, his tone indifferent.


    Andy''s face lit up. This meant that he was still considering their families''


    rtionship.


    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.


    Faith lifted her gaze slightly. "Go apologize to L."


    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 to do. Make yourselves


    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 something to


    say to you."
