Ryan was getting a little annoyed.

The Cobb family had always maintained a low profile. Despite their high status, they never threw their weight around, which was why, even now, with Keira standing at his doorstep, Ryan hadn't called security or anyone else for backup.

Growing up, Ryan was raised to be kind and approachable. His usual demeanor was one of grace and elegance, but right now, standing before Keira, he frowned in irritation.

Being gentle didn't mean he couldn't get angry.

There had been instances where people underestimated the Cobb family's restraint, coming to provoke them. On the surface, the family might smile and let things slide, but behind closed doors, they'd bankrupt their adversaries without a second thought. In the end, those same people would come crawling back, begging for mercy. And once the Cobbs granted them a lifeline, even though they had fallen from elite families to second-rate status, they were forever grateful to the Cobbs.

Ryan's eyes now carried a cold, dangerous edge.

Meanwhile, the woman standing before him seemed completely unbothered, casually fiddling with her phone, as though his growing fury didn't faze her in the slightest.

Keira was checking the time—just five minutes until 10:00.

If the South family's prophecy was correct, Ryan was supposed to be in a car accident in five minutes. But he was still standing in his own front yard, so how could that possibly happen?

Keira narrowed her eyes.

If no car accident occurred, then the South family's prophecy would be proven wrong.

According to Erin, once a prophecy from the South family was made, it couldn't be avoided. The only option was to face the impending disaster head-on.
