Chapter 121

Kristin was fuming, and her blood was boiling at the thought of Erin’s audacious words earlier. If it hadn’t been for the respect she had for the two old gentlemen, she would have torn off Erin’s smug mask right then and there.

As soon as Kristin voiced her anger, Estrella knew she had seen Erin corner her in the

restroom.

Keith furrowed his brow as he listened to Kristin’s account. “This is news to me,” he

muttered with concern.

Turning to Estrella, Kristin insisted, “If you don’t believe me, ask Estrella. Didn’t Erin stop her in the restroom? Didn’t he say those things to her?” That guy has a heart of stone. Who knows if he was behind the exposure of Hunter’s illegitimate child using Estrella. And I’ve heard he’s been ruthless to the mistress. Poor Hunter can’t even show his face at the office; Erin’s made his life a living hell,” Kristin added with a disgusted shake of her head.

Estrella chimed in, supporting her mother-in-law, “Grandpa, Erin’s ambitions are indeed dangerous. Kristinm’s not lying.”

Faced with the testimonies of both Kristin and Estrella, Keith gripped his cane tighter. His

brow creased in silence.

He pondered the possibility that by helping the Lamont family, he might have helped a future enemy. If Erin ever grew more powerful, he would surely clash with Jason.

Keith sank into a thoughtful silence, which was broken by Jason stepping forward. His hands were casually tucked into his jeans. “Grandpa, don’t worry about it. Whether it’s work or Estrella, Erin doesn’t stand a chance.”

Jason’s reassurance eased Keith’s mind, and he finally said, “Jason, you’ve always been sensible and measured. My philosophy is simple: live and let live unless they cross you

first.”

“Understood, Grandpa,” Jason replied with a nod.
