‘This…’
The color on Dylan’s face turned white as a sheet. He dared not challenge the old lady’s authority. “Understood, I’ll release a statement now.”
“Yes, Grandma! Don’t worry about that.”
After that, Dylan and Helen left in a panic. As soon as they entered their own courtyard, Dylan kicked over the vase in the courtyard.
Bang!
“This damned unfilial son! I will have someone to tie him up and bring him home immediately!”
“Oh, honey! Just chill.” Helen stepped forward to comfort him, “At least that girl isn’t Jenna. Doesn't this spare us a lot of trouble? Besides, Keith hasn’t fallen in love or found himself a girlfriend all these years. So isn’t this a good thing?
“Also, Xavia is now the center of attention. I think we can exploit this. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. As for marriage, there is still a long way to go. There are plenty of opportunities to break them up later.”
When Dylan heard of this, he was able to dissipate his anger. “Okay, okay! Sooner or later, this unfilial son will anger me so much I might depart to the afterlife sooner than expected. So let’s just do as per Grandma’s instructions for now.”
“Yeah!”
Soon, Keith’s personal Facebook released the following statement.
[It’s true that I am dating Xavia Lockhart now. Thank you all for your concern.]
That Facebook post caused a sensation no less than the previous cheating video! After all, Keith also happened to be a very popular bachelor in Darlsbury. Moreover, he had dated the younger sister of the twins.
Netizens were thrilled with the gossip, “Oh my God! The gentle and cultured Young Master Keith is actually getting together with the younger daughter of the Lockhart family!”
“Why has no one ever photographed them before, argh!”
“Is there going to be another wedding of the century?”
“Maybe Miss Lockhart only hooked up with Young Master Keith to come back to the city!”
“How sad our Young Master Keith should be then!”
“Goodness! Even a girl who has led a quiet life for twenty years has a boyfriend. So why am I still single? I am sad...”
“You’ve been fooling around all this time! Have you ever thought about your status and position? If you want to find a woman, why wouldn’t you go to your apartment? But no, you just had to let someone catch you on the video! Do you know you almost ruined your reputation this time? Your grandma almost stripped you of all your rights and sent you to a foreign branch!”
The good scolding came at Keith overwhelmingly. Dylan had perfectly interpreted the resentment of a father for his worthless son.
Keith’s expression turned slightly dark.“Then, you just decided to announce to the public that I am dating Xavia, or we will be engaged?”
“That’s right! You need to take responsibility for what you have done! If you don’t want to take the responsibility, then you can get out of the country!” After Dylan finished scolding his son, he directly disconnected the call. Even the air in the room was filled with his anger.
The look in Keith’s eyes beneath his glasses was somewhat complicated. There was a meaningful radiance that flowed inside his pupils.
Ring, ring, ring! The phone in his hand rang off. The caller was Jenna Lockhart.
He slid the answer button and said, “Jenna...”
“Keith, what do you mean with your statement? Isn't everything going to be okay when the storm has passed? Why did you publicly announce your relationship with Xavia? How are we going to deal with it in the future?”
Jenna was shooting those questions at him with anger.
