They were utterly shameless.

Hector stepped forward to support Luna, then turned and snapped at Autumn, “You’ve gone too far. Apologize to Luna and Susan, right now.”

Before Autumn could speak, Simon grabbed her injured hand.

She gasped in pain, her face going a few shades paler.

He shoved her in front of Luna and Susan, his voice icy. “You made a mistake, so act like it. Apologize.”

Autumn was still recovering from her fever, her head foggy and her balance unsteady.

With that shove, she stumbled straight toward the floor.

But before she could hit the ground, an arm caught her and pulled her into a broad, warm chest.

She looked up with effort and saw Keith.

His eyes were cold as they swept over the Lewis family. “This is how you treat your own sister?”

Seeing Keith there, Simon froze for a few seconds before quickly forcing a smile.

“Autumn was being disrespectful to her elders. We were just trying to teach her a lesson-no harm intended.”

He hadn’t expected Autumn to actually fall.

It caught him off guard.

He’d been about to help her up, but Keith was faster.

“Elder?” Keith’s gaze flicked to Susan, his tone sharp. “She deserves that title?”

Susan flinched under his look, her face going pale.

This man was terrifying. The moment he appeared, the pressure in the room shifted.

From his presence to the way Simon treated him so deferentially-everything about him screamed power.

And all she could think was-who was this man, and how did Autumn know him?

Luna didn’t recognize Keith, but she could read the room.

She bit her lip and choked out, “Sir, it’s just… my sister said some very hurtful things about us, and my brothers got upset.

“If she doesn’t want to apologize, that’s okay too. My mom and I won’t hold it against her.”

Autumn had looked ready to apologize a moment ago.

But the second this man arrived, everything shifted, which only proved one thing-this man was no ordinary figure.

His aura alone made it clear: he was someone powerful and untouchable.

Susan quickly echoed Luna’s words, “Yes, yes, let’s just forget it. Autumn doesn’t need to apologize.”

She’d always been good at reading the room.

She knew how to shift her stance the moment the wind changed.

And right now, it was clear the tide had turned.

Smoothing things over was the smartest move.

But Hector, seeing the mother and daughter standing there looking so wronged and pitiful, grew furious.

He stepped protectively in front of them and glared at Keith.

“I don’t care if you’re the Sinclair heir. You still have to be reasonable. Autumn was the one who disrespected her elders first.

“If you keep shielding her like this, you’re just going to spoil her!”

Keith’s eyes swept over Hector, sharp and cold. “Are they your biological mother and sister?”

The implication was clear: defending the mistress who destroyed their parents’ marriage, and her daughter who ruined his sister’s, while attacking his actual sister?

What a joke.

Of course, none of them grasped the deeper meaning.

But Keith didn’t care. As long as it made them uncomfortable, that was enough.

Hector choked on his words.

Simon quickly stepped forward, trying to smooth things over with a polite smile. “Mr. Sinclair, my younger brother’s still immature. Please don’t take his words to heart.”
