"I will not kneel for something I have not done. Neither I will let my father kneel for something he didn't do wrong."
Mr. Gu felt a strange warmth in his heart as he looked at Gu Jin.
His eyes softened, and a mix of emotions swirled within him. He remembered the past, the many times he had been forced to kneel in similar situations.
In all those moments, Gu Aihan had never stepped forward to protect him. She had always stood on the sidelines, indifferent, as if it wasn't her concern.
Yes, there were other family members who had tried to shield him.
But never Gu Aihan, the daughter he had believed was his own.
And yet here was Gu Jin, the daughter he had acknowledge just for 3 days, standing up to the most powerful figure in the family for his sake.
Gu Jin's cold, unwavering voice rang through the room again, cutting through the thick tension.
