Michael Leaf's words had made his position clear and had also given Keira Leaf an answer.
Keira no longer hesitated and showed no intention of continuing the conversation. Instead, she turned and addressed the bodyguard on the side: "Temporarily turn off the infrared alarm on the first floor."
"Yes, Miss."
Michael stood still, watching Keira walk away, a touch of bitterness inexplicably rising in his heart.
He knew that doing this to a girl he once had doted on excessively was perhaps too cruel, but he was also aware that the moment he defrauded her of her mother's inheritance six years ago, their relationship lost all possibilities.
Even in this current situation, Michael knew that although he felt a sense of guilt, he had to push Keira into the fire pit once more for Olivia's sake, even though he was well aware that children should not take the blame for the mistakes of adults.
