Feeling her clammy hand in his, Waylen glanced at her.
To Lyndon, he forced a smile.
âMr.
Coleman, donât you think itâs inappropriate for me to take on your daughterâs case?â
âWaylen, I know you still have feelings for Elvira!â
Lyndon blurted without thinking.
The hall fell silent.
No one had expected that Lyndon would say something so rude in front of Rena.
Obviously, She had heard it all.
She said gently but firmly, âLyndon, I know youâre worried about your daughter.
But now that Waylen and Rena are together, its not appropriate for you to make such a request, let alone say such things,â
Lyndon opened his mouth, but Cecilia interrupted him.
âIf Elvira wants help, we can find her a good lawyer or even pay for it.
Why does she have to ask my brother to do this? Mr.
Coleman, if you try to use the fact that you saved my life as a bargaining chip, then tell Elvira to jump into the sea.
My father will definitely save her, and weâll call it even.
â
Lyndon snapped his mouth shut and awkwardly rubbed his palms, looking a bit embarrassed.
Korbyn scolded his daughter, âCecilia, apologize right this instant.
â
Cecilia muttered a quick and reluctant âsorryâ.
After shooting his daughter a warning look, Korbyn softened his tone and said to his old friend, âCecilia doesnât know any better.
Please donât take it to heart, Lyndon.
As for the case, Iâll talk to Waylen and update you later.

Lyndon had no choice but to leave in the meantime.
When he left, he couldnât help but look at Rena with pleading eyes.
Renaâs body was still cold.
She wasnât a heartless girl, but she really wasnât that generous either.
She could only turn away and avoid Lyndonâs pitiful gaze.
Lyndon couldnât help but feel disappointed.
After he left, the hall was deathly silent.
No one dared to say a word for a while.
Korbyn slowly drank from his cup of tea.
Looking at his son and Rena, he finally said, âYou two, come to the study with me.
â
With bated breath, Rena followed Waylen and Korbyn to the study on the second floor.
Obviously, Korbyn was also in a terrible mood.
But when he looked at Rena, he was gentle and easy-going, as though he was treating a member of his family.
