Vincent's expression grew serious as he took Iris's hand."Today, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure you stay until the end of the banquet. No one will dare to drive you away!""Vince..." Iris's expression changed slightly. There was a hint of panic in her voice. "I-I don't think that's a good idea. What if…""There are no 'what ifs.' You're my only sister in the Redmont family." Vincent's expression turned cold, his gaze resolute. "After our family got into trouble, I withdrew from everything related to the Redmont family. However, it's been two years since this happened to you, yet the Redmont family still acts like this. Since I'm here, I'll protect you!"His firm tone surprised both Austin and Aldus nearby.Vincent had always seemed carefree and indifferent toward the Redmont family.But now, he seemed agitated due to the appearance of a "sister.""So, what's the story exactly?" Austin asked curiously.As Vincent led Iris inside and began to explain, it turned out that Iri

Today, however, she found herself seated at the family head's birthday banquet, clearly violating the Redmont family's rules.Iris didn't know what kind of punishment awaited her, but she stayed because of Vincent's support and her own unresolved feelings. As a member of the Redmont family, she wanted to stay.Suddenly, a commotion erupted around her. When Iris noticed people moving toward their table, her eyes flickered with anxiety, and she bowed her head even lower, not daring to look up."Mr. Campbell, it's an honor to have you here. I apologize for not welcoming you properly earlier," came an elderly, warm voice.Iris's body trembled, her eyes wide with shock. This was the voice of the family head!Immediately after, Morgan's voice rang out again. "Iris, Vincent."A storm of emotions surged through Iris as she slowly raised her head. The familiar face of Morgan came into view, but unlike the usual stern expression, his face was now adorned with a warm smile."G-Grandpa…

Overwhelmingly murderous intent emanated from Austin's body as his narrowed eyes gradually turned bloodshot.Everything would be in vain if he were to not take revenge for his mother's death.Bryson stumbled backward as he shouted, "Stop him! Hold him back!"The rest of the Redmonts were also similarly terrified.They felt as if they were witnessing Austin turning into a bloodthirsty demon.Fear swept through the entire premise.Even Morgan's face was deathly pale.He had already anticipated the worst today, and he had been trying to lay low so as to not instigate any more problems.But Austin was not going to give him any chances, as he had figuratively readied his sword by their necks.He took a step forward as all of the Redmonts watched.What came next was the sound of Austin's fists landing on the security personnel and blood-curdling screams.None of the security personnel could do anything against Austin no matter how much Bryson screamed for help.A hint of desperat

Morgan took another deep breath, and then a devious smile crept up on his face. "You're right, Amadeus. We should ask Dorothy for her help regarding this matter. We would be making this too easy for her if she doesn't step up to handle a brat of hers causing trouble for us."Amadeus smiled and replied, "I'll contact Mrs. Campbell Senior right away."Morgan gritted his teeth with murderous intent. "You've overestimated yourself, Austin… How dare you ruin my family's reputation? I'll soon show you just how terrifying true power really is! Not even your father could do anything but watch if Dorothy and I work together to kill you!"The room was eerily cold as he muttered to himself.…Austin and his group returned to the city after leaving the Redmont Residence.Vincent was still rather excited. "I can't believe you actually did it, Austin. I thought you were just going to talk with the Redmonts… It really caught me off guard."Austin rubbed his nose and replied, "We've practically

Austin rubbed his nose and replied, "What happened after? I mean, I'm talking about what you're hiding from Iris."Vincent smiled bitterly as he tilted his head backward to finish his beer. "You have no idea just how cold-blooded the Redmonts are… They're a bunch of scumbags and hypocrites. They would do anything to keep up their appearance and reputation."He gritted his teeth with anger as he turned around, revealing his reddened eyes. "Iris' husband did not leave her because he couldn't handle the pressure… Iris had a successful business, and the two of them lived a peaceful and happy life. The only time they ever visited the Redmont residence was either for the new year's or for some of the seniors' birthdays. How many times do you think they've visited just for all of that?"Vincent frowned as he fell deep into thought.After a while, his eyes gleamed as he realized what Vincent was trying to tell him.Vincent angrily continued, "Those Redmont bastards… They felt embarrassed
