[PRESENT TIME]

"Dad..." Karina held William's arm, steadying him as they made their way to the car. They would have left earlier than everyone else, but William's blood pressure had spiked, forcing him to rest for a while.

"Those brats..." William grumbled, only to feel a sharp stiffness in his neck. "Ack

"Dad, can you please calm down?" Karina sighed, carefully supporting him. "The doctors barely managed to lower your blood pressure. Please, don't think about them right now."

William's face soured, but seeing the worry etched on his daughter's face, he let out a begrudging sigh. "Fine, fine," he muttered, allowing her to help him as they walked toward the car.

Just as they reached the vehicle, another car pulled up beside theirs. William stopped in his tracks, prompting Karina to glance at him curiously.

"Dad?" she called, following his gaze toward the other car. Her brows furrowed as a tall, sharp-featured man stepped out of the sleek black sedan. "Dad, who is that?"

She turned back to her father, only to find his face clouded with displeasure. Yet, this time, he remained silent.

"Sweetheart, why don't you go ahead and get inside?" William said, his eyes fixed on the approaching man. "I just have some business to take care of."

Karina opened her mouth to protest but stopped herself. Instead, she pressed her lips together and nodded quietly.

"All right," she said softly, taking a step back. "I'll head to my car. My driver's waiting."

Straightening her posture, Karina turned and walked away. Though she had planned to accompany William home, the presence of the unexpected visitor made it clear he needed privacy.

William, now alone, redirected his attention to the man walking toward him.
