?Chapter 906:
It was painfully clear that Dn truly cared for Christina. Cared for her enough to speak more than a few clipped words like he used to. Cared for her enough to let down his usually rigid, indifferent guard. Cared for her enough to say aloud what he usually kept hidden, especially given his usual indifference to women.
Margot let out a long, quiet sigh. Her thoughts drifted to the pleading eyes of herte husband in his final moments. Despite everything, she still felt the need to try once more. “I’m not trying to force you into marrying Vickie, but when ites to marriage, I just hope you’ll think it through carefully.”
Dn was about to reply when an urgent, rhythmic knock echoed through the study.
Both Dn and Margot furrowed their brows and turned toward the tightly shut door.
“I’ll answer it,” Margot said, rising to her feet.
As soon as she opened the door, she was met with the anxious face of the security team leader.
“Mrs. Scott…” he began, pausing awkwardly. “Is Mr. Scott here? There’s been an incident.”
“What’s going on?” Dn’s voice rang out from behind Margot—icy and sharp.
The security team leader quickly exined, “Mr. Miller got into an altercation with another guest and asked me to call you over.”
“Dn, you’d better go check it out. Robin wouldn’t hit someone without a reason—there must have been some conflict,” Margot said, ncing back at herposed, steady grandson. Dn and Robin couldn’t be more different. Robin was impulsive, full of life, while Dn was stoic and cool-headed. But despite Robin’s energy, he wasn’t someone prone to violence.
Between her reserved grandson and the lively Robin, Margot had always found herself more entertained by thetter.

Every time Kurt brought Robin over to the Scott estate, Robin’s presence would light up the room. Margot would always end upughing, her spirits lifted. If only Robin and Chloe had been interested in each other, they might have made a perfect match.
Robin used to be terrified of Dn when he was younger, but over time, he’d grown braver—even daring to talk back now and then.
Margot exhaled. Time really did fly. In the blink of an eye, all those once-small children had grown into adults.
“I’ll go take a look,” Dn said, rising to his feet, a faint frown settling on his face.<fn3cf2> For original chapters go to find(?)ovel</fn3cf2>
As the curious guests gathered around the scene, they were suddenly struck by the appearance of a tall man in a ck suit. His auramanded silence, and the sharpness in his eyes was enough to chill the air.
The moment Dn stepped into view, the noise died down. No one dared utter a word—no one even dared meet his gaze. There was something about his eyes. The way they bore into people was unsettling, as if stripping them bare with a single nce.
The young man who had badmouthed Christina was in rough shape—his face bruised and bloodied. At that moment, Robin still had him pinned underfoot.
