Koby, frustrated, pped his forehead and eximed, “What do you understand?! She’s not some illegitimate daughter of the Shaw family.


    She is Destinee Simmons, the daughter of Nathan and Lucinda! Even though she’s only five, she’s already the designated heir of the wealthiest group, worth billions.


    How could you dare insult her like that?”


    “What? How is it possible?”


    Phillis was struck hard by the news.


    Destinee…


    That girl was not Kyson’s illegitimate daughter but rather belonged to both the Payne and Simmons families.


    This meant she risked angering the three most influential families in Cadiered: the Payne, Shaw, and Simmons families.


    Phillis was too stunned to regain herposure.


    She dreaded the unthinkable possibility that… her actions might lead to the ruin of the Perez Group.


    “Why? If she’s the child of Nathan and Lucinda, why isn’t there anything about it online? And why does she call Kyson ‘‘Daddy’?”


    Koby sat at the edge of her bed, sighing.


    “Nathan and his wife are concerned about their children’s safety, so they keep their images off the inte.


    You only notice the high society gatherings.


    I’ve mentioned this before, but you’ve never shown interest in attending business events.


    Naturally, you wouldn’t know.


    As for why Destinee calls Kyson ‘Daddy,’ that’s beyond me…”


    “Well…”


    Phillis was at a loss for words.


    She walked over to her father, crouched at his feet, ced her hands on his knees, and asked through tears, “Dad, what should I do now? I’ve insulted Destinee and upset Nathan, Lucinda, and Kyson.


    Just today, the Payne Group cut off a deal with us, costing our family a great deal.


    What if… Nathan doesn’t forgive me?”


    Koby scoffed.


    “I’ve warned you before about theplex rtionships among wealthy families.


    That’s why I advised you to temper your assertive nature.


    You shouldn’t assume they’re weak and provoke them, as you might not foresee the consequences.


    You never heed my advice.


    Now, you’ve caused this mess, and it’s up to you to fix it!”


    “Dad, please don’t abandon me.


    I admit I was wrong… I’ll heed your advice from now on.


    ” Phillis wept bitterly.


    Vickie embraced her daughter, tears streaming down her face.


    “Darling, we are getting old and she is our only daughter.


    If you don’t guide her now, what will be of the Perez family?”


    Although the Perez family was well-regarded and listed among the wealthiest in Cadiered, thebined force of the three ns could spell disaster for them.


    It would be effortless for them to dismantle the Perez Group.


    Koby gazed at his wife and daughter, who were crying at his feet.


    With the Perez Group at risk, he couldn’t just watch idly.


    He sighed deeply.


    Looking at his daughter, whom he had cherished for over two decades, he refused to forsake her merely to appease Nathan.


    After a moment of thought, he stated calmly, “I will visit Nathan and apologize to him personally in theing days.


    And you, meet with Kyson once more.


    Approach him gently, acknowledge your errors, and submit.


    You must win his trust and be his fiancee.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Understand?”


    Destinee privately called Kyson “Daddy” and followed him everywhere.


    This situation wasden with implications.


    Regardless of the underlying truths, it was clear that Kyson maintained a strong bond with Lucinda.


    The Simmons and Shaw families were also closely allied.


    Should Phillis marry into this circle, the Perez Group might find opportunities to grow through the support of the three families.


    Furthermore, Koby urged Phillis to forge a positive rtionship with Destinee.


    Given that Nathan’s children were set to inherit both the Simmons and Payne fortunes, gaining their favor could prove advantageous.


    Phillis was so terrified that she couldn’t muster any protest orint.


    She just kept nodding.
