Wilton, caught off-guard by Brian's blunt words, replied with a strained smile, "I see your point. It's my fault for not teaching her better. I'll make sure she behaves."

Brian didn't mince his words. "Mr. Larson, as a father, it's on you when your kids act out. Ivy needs to learn that there's always someone better out there. It seems to me that both you and your wife haven't grasped this yet. You're so tied up with work that family matters slip through. Maybe it's time to find someone who can handle those family affairs better. You're a sharp businessman, but it seems you didn't make the best choice in a partner. Your wife isn't guiding your daughter right. If you won't teach her, I will. Ivy should remember this lesson. She's not always the best and shouldn't use your family's name to harm others. Mr. Larson, we don't want a rift between our families over your daughter, do we?"

Brian's directness left Wilton feeling uneasy.

He was still piecing together the situation but understood the gist of Brian's message. Renata had previously joined Ivy in bullying others, and Ivy had received her consequence.

Brian's warning was clear. If he supported Ivy in her bullying again, he would find himself at odds with several influential families, including the Moreno family!

"I understand. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll look into this immediately."

Wilton's face darkened as he ended the call.

He was about to dial Renata to find out what was going on when his phone rang. It was her.

Answering with an icy tone, Wilton asked, “What do you want?"

“Wilton, Ivy injured her leg. She's been rushed to Skrix Hospital.

Hurry over." Renata's voice was fraught with worry.

Wilton, having suspected something like this, remained calm upon hearing of Ivy's injury.

“Explain what you've been up to behind my back."

On the other end, Renata was on the way to the hospital.

Confused by Wilton's question, she replied, "What do you mean? What have I done?"

“Have you been threatening someone to snag a role for Ivy?" Wilton's tone was sharp and accusing.

A flicker of alarm passed through Renata's eyes. “Who said that? No, I haven't done anything like that!"

"You're still defending yourself! Brian was the one who called me.

Because of you, I was scolded by a junior!" Wilton scolded.

Renata was panicked. Why did Brian have to interfere in this? Was it Rosalynn who told him? But how did she find out? Did Zoe tell her?
