"Look at your astute son. So cunning, he is."

Juliette grew vexed, retorting, “Clearly, he inherited your genes as well. Why do you cast blame on me?"

Korbyn touched his nose pensively, his tone now softening.

"Summon Rena here. I must have a conversation with her."

“She is currently in Heron, engrossed in a substantial project.

Dad, you shouldn't be so worked up. So what she was someone else's girlfriend before? Besides, Rena was but a pure and innocent woman.

Nothing happened between her and Harold. I was her first."

Korbyn chuckled with an air of enraged amusement.

He extracted a cigarette from his pocket, igniting it with care, inhaling the smoke leisurely.

“So, I am meant to commend you for your swiftness? Is that your source of pride? Waylen, you possess an audacious impudence... Let me make it clear, I do not approve of this.”

Waylen remained unperturbed.

Whether his father approved or not was inconsequential. The crux of the matter Lay in Rena's indifference towards him now.

Waylen then said with restrained composure, "Dad, it seems premature to draw conclusions, wouldn't you agree? The pivotal issue at hand is

Rena's apathy towards me. My standing has been diminished."

Korbyn derived a sense of satisfaction from this response. He cast a sidelong glance at Waylen and uttered, “Loser!"

Observing Korbyn's expression slightly ease, Waylen resolved to exert further effort, but before he could act, the housekeeper hurriedly approached, her voice tinged with anxiety.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, a Mr.

Evans from Czanch is requesting an audience with Mr. Waylen."

A Mr. Evans from Czanch?

Korbyn's extensive experience in the business realm set him apart from ordinary individuals, endowing him with a heightened intuition.

He sensed that something significant was about to unfold.

Hastily striding towards the window, he flung the curtains open, revealing several sleek black limousines adorning his courtyard. Though not extravagantly priced, these were Audi A8s, signature vehicles of some certain important people and typically reserved for special occasions.
