The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1263

Old Mr. Malone squinted his eyes at Ronald, a mix of surprise and contemplation in his gaze. "You really care about her that much?"

"Grandpa, she's not just someone I like, she's the closest person to me," Ronald said, catching the undercurrent of threat in the elder's tone. "If anything happens to her, I'd go to the ends of the earth to avenge her." The cold determination in Ronald's eyes momentarily stunned Old Mr. Malone.

After a long pause, Old Mr. Malone looked away. "If you truly care for her, I suppose Lilith can make room for her."

Lilith was never one to hold petty grudges.

Ronald shook his head firmly. "I can't accept that kind of marriage. It's not just an insult to her, but to me as well."

Seeing Ronald's resolve, Old Mr. Malone wanted to argue but, considering Ronald's commendable behavior over the years, he didn't want to make a scene. After a moment, he conceded, "I understand." Ronald felt the issue was resolved. "Please, no more matchmaking."

Old Mr. Malone sighed, "Find time to bring her to me."
