Keira exhaled, relieved that everything around her was quiet.

Erin had raised the South family's reputation too high, leading Keira to believe in the absurdity of the situation despite her better judgment.

At that moment, she turned to Ryan and said, "Nothing happened, which is better than something going wrong. Mr. Cobb, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this twenty minutes has caused you. I will take full responsibility—"

Keira looked at Ryan, wanting to say more...

Ryan waved her off. "Ms. Olsen, I'll reserve the right to pursue this matter further. Can we clear the way now?"

His expression remained calm, his tone steady, but Keira could sense the underlying tension.
