Are you going to wait and see him destroy everyone?

The silence inside the room became thicker with every passing second. While Jonathan's attention remained fixed on the floor, Erna's heart raced as she glanced at Eveline's resolute expression.

"Jedrick wants not only me but also you. He claims that we both belong to him and that he will do anything to destroy anyone who dares challenge him."

Eveline's lips twitched and her fist tightened as she heard Erna's response.

"That man was so nasty that he meticulously planned everything, knowing that everything would work out in his favor. But when I refused to give up on any of you, it ended up bruising his ego to the point that he openly challenged us."

Jonathan spoke after a prolonged gap.

"I never want you to know who your father is, since you are and will always be my child. I will do everything I can to keep you both by my side, even if it means sacrificing my life."
