Dave wasn't as reserved as Zhane; he spoke his mind without hesitation. Although he had previously held back due to the Korean dignitary's significant authority in his own country, he saw this situation differently. He considered it a matter of self-defense—protecting his woman from verbal attacks by an old man trying to elevate his granddaughter at Hera's expense.
"Mr. Lee, I'm sure you've seen the news and realized that the woman in question isn't my girlfriend, and I'm still pursuing her. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so audaciously knocking on my door with your granddaughter, attempting to push her onto me. If you didn't think she had a chance, you wouldn't be so bold. Or perhaps you're encouraging your granddaughter to be a home wrecker? Surely not—you wouldn't want to tarnish your own reputation." Dave said with a serious expression, but his words were dripping with mockery, like a bitter pill hard to swallow.
