Kilgore Family was a influential and wealthy family in the Imperial City and was only considered as the second most powerful family after Emerson's, because Kilgore family had many government officials from every generation, and also they were once the key people during the countries revolution along with Emerson's. Every family in the country tried to form a relationship with them. Because of some feud in the earlier generation with Emerson Family, they both never interacted with each other other than the marriage between Monaro Kilgore and Emily Emerson. They were neither good nor bad. The marriage was a taboo which was strictly restricted from bringing up.
Grandpa Kilgore was still the one who shouldered the authority of the Kilgore Family. The Kilgore Family still holded the decision making authority in the country because of the support and involvement of the earlier generation in the development of the country.
Grandpa Kilgore had three sons, Monaro Kilgore was the elder son, Henry Kilgore was the second son and Steward Kilgore was the last son.
Monaro Kilgore's wife died by a car accident when Kiara was just five years old. And Kiara was the youngest and only girl child in the family while her stepsister was not loved and everyone doted on her very much.
The members of Kilgore Family never considered Monaro's second wife and her daughter as a family even after her being married to him for so many years.
After hearing the news about Kiara's missing every family member of Kilgore Family rushed to their Family home fearing about the matter. They were truly worried about her and tried every means to search the information regarding Kiara. As being the most doted child in the family, Kiara had never suffered anything other than the accident when she was five years old with her mother. Everyone's heart ached for her even thinking about the hardships she was undergoing if she was really missing.
No one dared to believe that she was dead.
The Kilgore Family managed to end all the malicious rumors about Kiara and issued a official statement that she truly had gone to vacation with some of her friends and Edward Mount's words were not true.
As soon as Grandpa Kilgore got the news he with all his family members rushed to Monaro Kilgore's house to confront Edward and North. They were truly angry with the current situation.
" Just after getting the news about Kiara's missing you two have already started shamelessly clinging around each other. Looking at this, I think because of you two our Kiara has left the house. How dare of you both, Do you both want to die. " Steward Kilgore was very angry and was ready to pounce on them controlled his anger because of his father. He glared at them and said in a seemingly warning tone to both Edward and North who were currently kneeling down on the floor.
" Uncle we really don't know anything about this matter, we were just helping each other sharing our sorrows and North was the one who comforted me and stood by my side when I was deeply saddened by....Kiara's betrayal " Edward said in a trembling voice while glancing at his parents who were standing in front of Grandpa Kilgore.
North was so frightened by the aura of Grandpa Kilgore that she didn't even dare to make an eye contact with him, because North was daughter of Monaro Kilgore's second wife, she was not favored by anyone due to her not so good attitude. She was the most arrogant and always ill treated Kiara most of the time.
Edward Mount was also frightened from the cold behavior from the Kilgore Family, so in front everyone he solemnly declared " I am in love with North because she was the only one who stood by my side when I was down. I had nothing to do with Kiara's missing, if you don't believe me you can investigate me. "
Justin Kilgore who was silently standing behind his father Henry Kilgore, now walked towards Edward and directly slapped on his cheeks. Due to the force applied on his cheeks, Edward who was kneeling hit the floor with a heavy thud.
" I can't stand anyone who speaks ill of my sister, even today you are still kneeling and breathing here only because of her. So mind your language about my sister otherwise don't expect me to silently watch everything. " said Justin which caused Edward to shiver out of fear and North who was just beside him was also trembled due to fear.
Justin Kilgore was the eldest child in the Kilgore Family and was also considered as the next heir to the Kilgore Family. He was Kiara's elder brother and was the one who pampered her, doted on her just like she was his child. He still did not accept the truth that Edward had said that Kiara had escaped, not only him even Kilgore Family did not accept this.
Grandpa Kilgore and all the family members who was watching all this felt a pang in their heart thinking about Kiara who was not around them right now. They were desperately searching her in the entire Imperial City and even in the country.
Grandpa Kilgore glanced at everyone before parting his lips, " The most important thing right now is to search for my Kiara, Henry notify all the government officials who are connected to us about Kiara, Monaro release a statement to media saying Kiara is safe and Steward clear all the malicious rumors about Kiara " Grandpa Kilgore's voice was slightly trembling unlike his usual domineering voice which was a huge shocker for the entire family
" As for you, I am cancelling the engagement between you and Kiara. This is one of the biggest mistake in my entire life. " continued Grandpa Kilgore while glaring at Edward whose head was lowered. Edward Mount and his parents had known that not once the engagement was cancelled even the business relationship between them will be cancelled. The Mount Family relied on Kilgore Family for their business relationship mainly, Kilgore Family established their relationship with them only because of Kiara.
" Sir Kilgore, please don't take decision hastily. Edward and North are in love with each other therefore our relationship can still be continued " Edward's father, Tom Mount stood in front of Grandpa Kilgore pleaded with him.
Even before Grandpa Kilgore answered, " How dare you to even talk like that at a time like this " said Grandma Kilgore with a fierce tone.
" It's not up to us if they are in relationship or not. It's not our business to meddle in. All we care about is Kiara. Get lost from my sight " Grandpa Kilgore said in a stern voice glaring at Mount Family.
North Kilgore and Edward Mount broke out a cold sweat recalling the moments when they tortured Kiara.
'That evil bitch will never enter my life again and I can live my life happily as a only daughter of Kilgore Family without any worries' thought North Kilgore while cursing Kiara.
Meanwhile, Kiara's father, Monaro Kilgore simply stood beside his father with an expressionless face not worrying about his daughter who was lost, but was sympathizing about North who was being punished....
