Chapter 14-A call

"I promised to marry her, Grandpa," Ryan replied.

Ivy got hurt because she was going to meet him. If he abandoned her, he didn't think he could live with himself.

Charles Kingsley frowned as he stared at his grandson. He couldn't understand how someone so smart could allow a woman to trick him.

"As long as I'm the elder in this family, I'll never allow it," Charles commanded. "Ivy Williams can never become a Kingsley."

He spoke with authority and Ryan didn't dare try to convince him. Even though Charles was old, he was still the Chairman of the Kingsley Group and still carried an air of dominance and authority. "Grandpa, she got hurt because-"

"I don't care about what lies she's told you to make you this way. Ryan, if you want to end up like your father, continue entertaining that woman. I was already disappointed with how you treated Larisa. She was such a sweet, kind woman and you blew it," Charles remarked..

Silence fell over them. For Ryan, the mention of Larisa caused him so much pain. He regretted losing her. His failure to protect her will always come back to haunt him.

After a few seconds, Ryan sighed and said, "I'll arrange a meeting with Lora Davis."

Thereafter, he turned and left the room. However, he almost bumped into his younger half-sister, Isabella Kingsley.

"Oh, R-Ryan-"

"What are you doing here? Were you eavesdropping?" Ryan questioned, his eyebrows knotting in anger. He wasn't close with this half-sister of his because they shared different mothers. Ryan hated how his father moved on so fast after the death of his mother. Isabella shifted nervously in her stance and stammered, "I- I wanted to see Grandpa! There's something I want to ask him."
