Kyle stood up along with that pull.
It wasn't as if he couldn't resist it, as Patrick wasn't really pulling that hard … well, okay, he was, but not enough that Kyle couldn't stop it.
Kyle had come with one intention.
To bury the hatchet.
In order to truly fight against those hidden enemies, he needed his father.
After all, Smith Industries wasn't just about him. He was the Heir, but his father was the current Leader.
More importantly, Patrick is his biological father.
So Kyle steeled himself, closing his eyes as he prepared himself for a punch or something.
Kyle acknowledged that his disappearing act wasn't commendable. It was hardly the act of a filial son.
No matter how angry he was, no matter how aggrieved he felt - no matter the reason … what he had done was undeniably bad.
Patrick watched as his son just stood there, not resisting and not flinching as he grabbed his collar.
