NovelEndThat night, Kieran stayed over at Lila's place.
When she cout of the shower, she saw Kieran on a call. She was about to climb into bed when he suddenly got up and effortlessly scooped her into his arms with one hand.
Lila instinctively wrapped one arm around his neck while covering her mouth with the other, preventing herself from gasping out loud.
"Finish your call first," she whispered.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKieran placed her gently on the bed, lowering his head to kiss the corner of her lips.
Because of their close proximity, Lila could hear Cole's voice from the phone. "The Moore family is still searching for Ms. Moore's whereabouts. I've already arranged for our people to ensure absolute confidentiality.
"Oh, and Mr. Morgan, our people just reported that Dennis left with Harrison and Andy, but we don't know where they went." Kieran casually adjusted Lila's slightly messy hair while saying, "Keep monitoring them." After he hung up, Lila looked at him curiously. "The Moore family sent more people?" Andy had been missing for a few days, but Harrison had been around, seemingly keeping tabs on Faith.
She had once thought that, as the heiress of the Moore family, Faith lived a glamorous life. But thinking about it now, she probably had a harder tthan most ordinary people.
"The Moore family won't give up on Andy so easily. But at the stime, they can't ignore the benefits Faith has brought them over the years. If they suddenly remove her and replace her with Andy, the company's shareholders surely won't be happy." Hearing his explanation, Lila understood. "There must be plenty of ways to help Andy build a reputation. Why do they insist on taking over the Morgan Group partnership from Faith?" She lifted her head to look at Kieran. Under the warm glow of the lights, his features were gentle yet striking, as if he had stepped out of a comic book. Kieran pinched her cheek lightly, his voice carrying a smile. "Because, Mrs. Morgan, you don't have a clear understanding of your husband's capabilities." Lila's attention was caught by the words "your husband". She parted her lips slightly but, after a long pause, only managed to say, "Go take your shower." Kieran chuckled, grabbed his clothes, and headed to the bathroom.
Lila understood his meaning. The Moore family wanted to use Morgan Group to propel Andy into power while forcing Faith into an arranged marriage to squeeze out every last bit of her value.
Kieran had just stepped out of the shower and hadn't even had the chance to cuddle his wife when a sudden knock on the door interrupted him.
"It's so late. Who could it be?" Lila muttered. "Could it be something urgent from Michael or Matthew? I'll go check." Kieran's gaze darkened slightly. "It's probably someone from the Moore family." "The Moore family?" "I'll open the door." As he walked out, Lila hesitated for a moment, then grabbed a jacket and followed him.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw about ten people from the Moore family standing outside, making her frown.
Were they here to stage a protest? Before coming up, they had already inquired at the hotel's front desk and confirmed that Kieran was staying here. So, they adjusted their approach. Instead of threatening Lila, they decided to have Andy kneel and beg for forgiveness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment Andy saw Lila, he lunged forward and hugged her leg.
"Lila, I was wrong. I was disrespectful to you before, and I sincerely apologize. Please forgive me."
He kept his head lowered, crying pitifully, but his eyes were filled with hatred. One day, he would make both Lila and Faith pay for this humiliation.
"Let go of me." Lila furrowed her brows, a trace ve her eyes. The of disgust flashing in content is on novelenglish.net! She was also grateful that she was wearing long pants.
"Let go!" Kieran scolded, his gaze frosty.
Andy's back stiffened, but remembering Dennis' warning on the way here, he had no choice but to push forward.
"Kieran, Lila, I really know I was wrong. Please don't hold it against me, and forgive my earlier disrespect. I promise to be respectful to Lila from now on and treat her like my own family."
