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—"

Before she could finish, Selena interrupted her, "You take responsibility? Do you think Ryan's time can be compensated with money? Do you even know who he is? The decisions he makes can affect countless families! Ms. Olsen, you're being awfully presumptuous!"

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.

Ryan was angry.

With an apologetic nod, Keira slid into the driver's seat of her car, backing up to give him space.

Ryan shot her a cold glance before turning to enter his own vehicle.

Selena watched Keira, a smirk creeping onto her face.

Keira was digging her own grave!

The Cobb family's standing was far beyond that of any business family!

Yes, the South family was formidable, but Ryan could decide the trajectory of their family's business with a single word! After all, he was the hidden heir to the throne in Clance!

Now that Keira had offended him, even if Gavin did fall ill and pass away, Ryan would never reconcile with the South family. That would leave Selena free to stay in the Cobb household under his protection...
