Brian's eyes narrowed as he replied coldly, "Johan, are you attempting to manipulate me morally?”

“No, no, that's not it," Johan immediately denied.

He glanced at the silent Malcolm and kicked him once more.

“You useless fool! Falling for an actress and causing such trouble.

Apologizing won't make a difference. Get down on your knees and apologize!"

Under his father's intimidation, Malcolm gritted his teeth and reluctantly knelt down.

"Mr. Hughes, Miss Fuller, it's all my fault. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Rosalynn was taken aback by Malcolm's sudden act of kneeling and apologizing. She was momentarily speechless.

Brian, sitting beside her, poured her a drink.

"It's not that I want to be harsh, but I have already made myself clear. Do you want me to contradict myself?"

There was no warmth in his tone, but as he poured the drink for Rosalynn, there was a hint of gentle tenderness.

Johan's eyes flickered, and he quickly added, "So, this is Miss Fuller? Indeed, she is quite beautiful. You two make a perfect couple.”

Rosalynn was stunned.

Was he a salesman in his younger days?

He certainly knew how to flatter!

Brian raised an eyebrow and smiled subtly.

"Mr. Hughes, Miss Fuller, you may not know this, but my son had a childhood sweetheart who resembled Eleanor. Sadly, she passed away That's why he feels drawn to Eleanor."

John tried to manipulate them emotionally.

He glanced at Malcolm and sighed.

"He is good in every way, but he's too sentimental. I've taught him a lesson, and he realizes his mistake.

Mr. Hughes, Miss Fuller, considering that he erred for love, can you forgive him this time? If you are willing to forgive him, I promise to fulfill any request you have."

His words brought a hint of redness to Malcolm's eyes.
