Albert stood there, smoking.

Kyle was also preparing to leave. When he descended the stairs, he noticed his son smoking in the night breeze. Almost involuntarily, he commented, "You can have fun with Miss Hanson, but don't bring her home."

Albert sneered.

He nonchalantly flicked the cigarette butt away and stamped it out.

"Don't worry. I am more skilled at playing with women's emotions than you."

Kyle's expression remained somber.

At this time, Kyle's car arrived. Albert opened the car door for his father.

As Kyle got into the car, he looked at Albert but ultimately said nothing. The car started moving.

Inside the car, the driver remarked to Kyle, "Mr. Albert Waston seems to be in high spirits."

Kyle replied calmly, “He resents me deep down. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept refusing to return home and take over the family business.

I understand his thoughts. He merely wants to give his mother an official status. But can I easily provide her with that recognition?

Granting his mother such a status is akin to admitting that I cheated on my wife back then."

Although Kyle's wife had passed away, his father-in-law was still alive and held considerable power.

Kyle knew that if he gave his former lover, Albert's mother, official recognition, his life would become exceedingly difficult due to his father-in-law's influence.

The driver remained silent.

After a brief pause, Kyle continued in a hushed tone, "Albert has now established a good rapport with Rena. I am relieved. I've often heard Zack's father speak highly of Rena. Zack has changed significantly since he knew Rena."

The driver nodded in agreement.

Kyle's mood seemed to have lightened.

Meanwhile, Rena returned home.

As soon as she entered the villa, she received a call from Kyle, who wanted her to change Albert's lifestyle.

Kyle said, "I haven't had any prior contact with Miss Hanson, Rena, but I trust you wholeheartedly. Please guide Albert in the right direction. I will be forever grateful to you."

Rena hadn't yet changed out of her dress.
