Chapter 585

Cole said, “A blind date? Didn’t you tell Grandpa you were planning to propose marriage to the Kalen family?”

Lex replied, “He said the Kalen family hasn’t agreed to anything, nor have they formalized any engagement with us. So to him, it doesn’t count.”

Cole suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but complain.

“Don’t even get me started. Lately, I don’t know what’s gotten into Grandpa. He’s completely lost his judgment. I heard that while he was practicing medicine abroad all these years, he met some woman who’s been playing him like a fiddle.

Lex’s eyes flickered slightly. “The same woman who could threaten Victoria’s position and potentially tarnish her reputation?”

Cole nodded grimly. “Exactly. Her birth name was Sharon McKinzie, but she later changed it to Jenna Kalen. Years ago, I played a few tricks to get her kicked out of the Kalen family. I never thought, after all this time, she’d resurface.”

He paused awhile before adding, “Now, she’s got Grandpa so wrapped around her finger that even I, his grandson, barely seem to matter. I’m worried she’ll take the chance to retaliate, and that Victoria might get caught in the crossfire.”
