"Iris, what doesn't kill you makes you wiser. It's no longer safe for you to stay alone outside. Come back and stay with us!" Gilbert said with worry. He could not help but glance at Leon as well.

He wanted his daughter to move back in with them for two reasons. One was out of concern for her, while the other was to separate his daughter and Leon.
Based on what he saw so far, Leon was probably after his daughter. That was why Leon was daring enough to try his luck at saving Elder Young. In the end, Leon was lucky enough to save him.
Leon was just a commoner with nothing exceptional about him. Leon was not worthy of Iris at all!
"Impossible ! I refuse to move back here! I'm staying in an area with a lot of high–end villas. There are dedicated
security guards on guard at all times. Grandfather's already arranged for six new bodyguards for me as well. With them protecting me in the future, my safety should
be assured!" Iris shook her head and refused.
She was on the way back home when she was kidnapped
the night before. It was just an unexpected incident.
If someone targeted her, it would be useless even if she
moved back. 1
"But…"
"There's nothing else to say about that. As long as Daisy is still here, I'll never move back!" Iris said firmly.
Gilbert felt helpless, and shot Elder Young a pleading
look, "Dad, Iris listens to you more. You should tell her to
come back!"
"No need. If she doesn't want to come back, there's no
need to force her! We'll just need to send some more
people to secretly guard her. There shouldn't be any
problems," Elder Young said calmly.
He knew of Iris's conflicts with Daisy. He also knew that
the two of them could never get along.
In truth, he did not like Daisy much either.
However, Daisy was lucky. She gave birth to a son for
Gilbert. He was the future heir of their family!
She managed to ride on her son's coattails.
Even if Elder Young did not view Daisy highly, he was
forced to keep one eyeshot. There was no way he could chase Daisy out of the family for his granddaughter's
sake.
"Iris, you hardly ever come back. Show Leon around the
place for now. Have dinner with me before the two of you
leave," Elder Young said with a smile.
"Okay," Iris nodded before she brought Leon out of the
main hall.
Once Iris and Leon left, Gilbert could not stop himself
from voicing his worries, "Dad, you might not know this,
but Iris and Leon may be in a relationship right now. The
two of them are even going to stay with each other!"
"If Iris doesn't move back, I'm afraid of the
consequences!"
Elder Young coldly snorted, "What a bunch of nonsense!
Iris has already explained everything to me over the phone. She has nothing to do with Leon. This is just your misunderstanding. Leon doesn't have a home to go back to. She's just temporarily giving Leon a place to stay to repay him."
"Even if it's a misunderstanding , it's really hard to say when it comes to feelings. What if the two of them develop feelings for each other after staying together?" Gilbert was still worried.
"There are no what–ifs here!"
"Iris is such an excellent woman. She has high standards as well. So many rich heirs and excellent young men have tried to court her but failed. How could she fall for someone as ordinary and unexceptional as Leon?!" Elder Young waved it off nonchalantly.

"It's just a possibility. There's nothing impossible in this world. We have to keep our guards up…"
"So what? Having a few boyfriends or girlfriends is something incredibly normal nowadays. There's nothing wrong if Iris wants to have a relationship with Leon. It'll be a chance for her to experience romantic life. It'll be
fine as long as she finds a worthy man to marry in the end! She's so stubborn anyway. You'll just get the
opposite of what you want if you interfere with her life.
It's better to just let things progress naturally," Elder
Young said calmly.
Rich families with long–lasting legacies like theirs.
heavily prioritize marrying the right people. He would
not allow his granddaughter to be married to a
commoner!!
However, Iris was free to do whatever she wanted before
she got married. She would not interfere with Iris' life.
"That's true! Dad, you are the smart one!" Gilbert
suddenly saw the light. His worries were thoroughly
dispersed.
