... Alexa was dumbstruck. To think Raymond Stein would go as far as threatening all these affluent people just to protect her daughter's reputation... He wasn't scared of anything, this man.
Many wondered what had happened to Raymond Stein all of a sudden. Not that they were not used to him being cold and threatful. But it was this strange warm gaze he had on his face as he carried his daughter up the podium.
If anyone could remember correctly, the last time he had such a gaze in public, it was at his wedding five years back.
"Thank you, you're too kind." Rachael said to the guests who made sure to keep clapping as Raymond had his eyes on them.
Rachael knew what her father was doing. She could practically see him giving the guests his warning gaze but acted oblivious. She loved to see when he used his authority like that and against such people.
