Xylia was startled when she heard the gunshot. The sound was too loud that her ears hurt so much. She looked at her father and grandfather to see if one of them was shot. She saw them covering their ears but they seemed fine.
She then turned to Aciel and saw him grinning while pointing the gun at someone. Her eyes widened when she moved her gaze to Ivan. Blood was flowing from his right cheek. His eyes showed fear and disbelief. Ivan's mother, Yelena, lost consciousness seeing his son bleed.
"A-Aciel!" She called.
Aciel turned and glared at her. She suddenly felt scared when she saw his expression. She didn't say anything and just bit her lip.
"You're fucking crazy!" Ivan shouted.
Aciel chuckled. "Sorry. I missed. But next time, I'll make sure to put a bullet in your head."
Everyone knew he didn't miss. It was a warning to the Harlow's. Ivan then looked at Xylia.
"Is this the kind of man you want to marry?" He asked.
