This time, it was Ken’s father, Sean, who rushed out to stop us.
His attitude was unyielding. “We’re a prestigious family. How could we go back on our words? If you went back on your word, wouldn’t people laugh at me?!”
Sean approached me step by step and looked down at me with contempt in his eyes.
“Also, I heard that Grace is the current successor of the Flying Bird. How could an ordinary lady like Elena be worthy of my son?”
He despised me simply because I was not able to hold absolute power and bring benefits to the family.
Ken stood directly in front of me and looked into his eyes with a sharp gaze.
“Father, Elena is cute and kind. She’s the woman I like the most. I wouldn’t allow anyone to slander her, even you!”
I looked at the tall back of the man protecting me. I smiled and pulled his arm. I took the initiative to stand in front of him and said to Sean, “Uncle, could I talk to you in private?”
Sean stared at me. “I have nothing to say to you!”
Obviously, in his heart, I was a bad woman who had stolen his son.
Ken grabbed my shoulders and whispered in my ear. “Father is not to be trifled with. Don’t look for him in private. If there is anything, I will take care of it.”
In reality, he only wanted me to be a beautiful ornament whereas he would take care of everything else.
My performance today was beyond his expectations.
He did not want me to get into any more trouble.
However, I shook my head and looked at Shawn provocatively. “Uncle, why don’t you dare to talk to me in private? Are you afraid that I will find out some of your dirty secrets?”
Someone like Sean, who was in the business for many years and had a deep mind, loved letting his imaginations run wild.
I only said a vague sentence, and he agreed to talk to me alone.
The door of the room was closed.
Sean stared at me. “Why did you want to talk to me in private? What do you know?”
Everyone had a weakness. I could detect his disguise as long as I used the lie detector system. This was the reason why I was doing this.
I intentionally pretended to be relaxed and sat down. I even drank some water.
“Uncle, why were you sweating? Why were you so nervous? It seemed that you were afraid that I would tell others about this.”
“I don’t understand what you are saying.”
Sean wanted to play dumb with me. Although it did not seem that he acted strangely, the lie detection system said that his heart rate increased. He was lying!
I said firmly, “You’re lying. You did things to discredit the family. If you continued to pretend to be ignorant, I would have to go out and explain it to grandfather and Ken.”
Sean fearfully blocked the door. “Caroline and I were very low-key. We were only together for a few days. How did you know?”
The lie detector system rang again.
I smiled. “Uncle, I think it was more than a few days. Did you want to lie to me again?”
Sweat dripped down Sean’s forehead. “How did you know…”
He could not figure out who this young girl was. How did she know what he was thinking?!
Although I did not know much about them, I easily made him believe that I had something on him with the help of the polygraph system.
“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t tell anyone about this. If you promised that I could be with Ken, you would be my father. Why would I hurt you?”
He let out a sigh of relief. “Alright, I promised you, but don’t expect me to help you clean up the mess. If you want to be my son’s fiancée, you should personally break off Catherine’s engagement!”
After saying that, he left in a carefree manner and threw the problem at me.
Ken rushed in and hugged me. “How was it? Did he make things difficult for you?”
Lying on his broad chest, I blushed and thought, ‘Why was he so worried about me?’ It was as if I was indeed his girlfriend.
..
Ken drove me to the hospital.
I came here to find Catherine, the comic book female lead.
