The Milos were usually very emotionally steady, but seeing the especially vicious comments online still infuriated them.

“It has been ages. If we saw each other every day, we would’ve found out earlier that you were bullying our daughter,” Clifford said coldly.

His gaze stayed fixed on Alfred.

The corner of Alfred’s mouth twitched awkwardly, and he said nothing.

When a father-in-law scolds you, you take it.

Alfred believed he had that much self-awareness.

Of course, Clifford and Felicia didn’t know that Nella and Alfred’s marriage was already a hollow shell, but Nella did.

So when she saw her father glaring at Alfred, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

She worried Alfred’s pride wouldn’t take it and that he might snap back at Clifford.

She glanced at Alfred with concern, only to find him wearing an awkward smile.

He’s just… taking it?

Nella felt something was off.

That doesn’t seem like Alfred.

Nella watched him cautiously for a moment. When she saw he really had no intention of talking back, she finally relaxed a little.

She turned to Regis first and greeted him. “Hello, Regis.”

Regis, who had just been glaring at his grandson, immediately softened when he saw Nella.

“Hello, my dear!”

Nella walked over to her parents and said quietly, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry. I’ll handle this.”

Clifford patted his daughter’s hand, his expression easing slightly.

Then his gaze swept over the Macks before stopping on Zoey.

“Ms. Mack, you said someone was pushing their luck. Who were you talking about?”

Clifford was usually a very gentle professor.

He was strict in academics, but not harsh or rigid in daily life.

But when his face turned cold, it was intimidating.

Zoey felt her heart race under his stare and couldn’t find the words to answer.

“What? You think Nella is easy to push around, so you stomp all over her?

“My wife and I might not be very powerful, but we won’t just stand by and let you humiliate our daughter?

When Clifford said he wasn’t very powerful, it was pure modesty.

The Milos might not compare to the Keywoods in wealth, or even to the Macks backed by them.

But when it came to connections, that was another story.

The Milos were a true scholarly family, and Apex Medical University was a top-tier institution nationwide.

Just among the students Clifford and Felicia had taught, it wouldn’t be hard to name several who held influence in elite circles.

Not to mention the students taught by Nella’s grandparents’ generation.

Norris could see further ahead than Eileen and Zoey, so he didn’t dare put on airs in front of Clifford.
