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!
