Attempting to mask his frustration, Koby stood firmly in Kyson’s path, refusing to budge.


    “You’re upset because Phillis wronged you, and I apologize for that.


    Our family has held its status for years, Mr.


    Shaw.


    Pushing this issue could harm the Shaw Group as much as it does us.


    ”


    Looking down with a serious expression, Kyson replied, “Should the Shaw Group suffer any Losses, the Perez Group will bear the greater cost.


    Mr.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Perez, proceed at your own risk.


    ”


    Koby’s heart raced as he continued, “Today, I’m here to apologize on behalf of Phillis.


    I’ve spoiled her too much; she meant no harm.


    Her sympathy for that young woman was the sole reason she offered her the job.


    Nothing more.


    ”


    With a slight Lift of his eyebrow, Kyson retorted sarcastically, “Mr.


    Perez, your understanding of your daughter seemscking.


    ”


    “What are you implying, Mr.


    Shaw?”


    Kyson did not respond directly but instead borated, “Dulcie and Destinee are like sisters, with Destinee poised to inherit the Payne Group.


    Phillis’s actions against Dulcie are akin to an affront to Destinee-and by extension, to the Payne, Simmons, and Shaw families.


    Have you considered the repercussions, Mr.


    Perez? Are you prepared for them?”

    Koby paled at the thought.


    Of course, he wasn’t ready.


    Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pleaded daily with Kyson.


    “It’s all on Phillis.


    She acted without thinking, and the situation nearly spiraled out of control.


    However, Miss Burton was unharmed, right? The men involved were apprehended by the National Security Bureau, receiving their just desserts.


    Can we not put this matter to rest? If you’re still dissatisfied, I can arrange for Phillis to personally apologize to Miss Burton and Destinee.


    Would that satisfy you?” Koby proposed.


    Kyson’s sneer conveyed his disdain.


    “I doubt that’s sufficient.


    If I hadn’t intervened, Mr.


    Perez, you know the chaos that would have ensued.


    Several men were harassing a woman.


    Do you really believe a mere apology would suffice?”


    Koby remained silent, caught in a troubling thought.


    “What’s your n, Mr.


    Shaw? Miss Burton was nearly vited.


    Would it be just if the same happened to Phillis?”


    Surely not! Koby was adamant.


    He couldn’t have Phillis, his own daughter, tormented by such viins!


    Kyson, expression unchanging, gently touched Koby’s shoulder.


    “The decision rests with you, Mr.


    Perez.


    As of now, Nathan and Lucinda are unaware.


    However, I cannot promise the situation will remain unchanged in theing days.


    ”


    He smiled icily, retracted his hand, and passed by Koby without a backward nce.


    Koby froze, watching Kyson’s retreating figure.


    His face grew increasingly grim, and he remained silent.


    For Kyson, Dulcie was merely a tool for managing the elder members of the family.


    Nheless, she was his wife, nominally at least, and he could not sit idly by while she faced harassment.


    In a modest apartment, Dulcie was surrounded by suitcases of various sizes scattered on the floor.


    She packed her belongings alone, asionally directing the bodyguard and the driver to keep their distance.


    Initially, they felt awkward but eventually settled intofort.


    They Lounged on the couch, smoking and sipping water, their attention glued to their phones as hours passed and Dulcie continued her packing.


    At one in the afternoon, there was a knock at the door.


    Dulcie answered it to find a young man in a suit, someone she hadn’t seen before.
