Yvonne's face turned pale as she shifted her gaze away nervously. "What scandal are you talking about? I have no idea what you're saying now."
"Do I need to bring out the investigation report and verify the source of those photos with you?" Samuel sneered. "Have you forgotten how you got into university? Seeing as you're not focusing on your studies, are you hoping for us to buy you another diploma?"
Her face alternated between red and white as she was filled with shame and anger. But she could only endure it, not daring to say anything.
When Gabriella saw this, she expressed her displeasure. "Samuel, Yvonne is your cousin. She's young and lacks judgment in handling things, but her intentions were good as she was only worried about you.
"How could you humiliate her like this in front of everyone, including an outsider? You can't blame her entirely for the scandal!"
"Aunt Gabriella, I'm just stating facts." Samuel showed no compassion and said straightforwardly,
He continued, "Everyone pampers her and indulges her as if she's still a child. That's why she's becoming more difficult to handle. Your actions will only harm her in the end."
"You—" Gabriella's face stiffened, her meticulously applied makeup nearly cracking.
"That's enough, Samuel." Liana intervened at the right moment, breaking the tense atmosphere in the living room. "Grandpa is still waiting for you. Hurry up and go visit him."
At least with Samuel out of sight, they could have some peace. After this incident, Liana was even more convinced that Kylie was nothing but trouble!
Samuel's cold demeanor warmed slightly when he gazed at Kylie, who was wrapped in a blanket on the sofa. "Are you still able to treat Grandpa?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"Great."
With that, he strode forward with steady steps. Then, he bent down and scooped her up just as she was about to get up from the sofa.
As Kylie nestled in his arms, she was surrounded by his clean, crisp, and woody fragrance. When she gazed up, she could see his sharp profile. At this angle, all she could see was the curve of his jaw, which was well-defined, striking, and breathtakingly handsome.
Samuel held her securely and headed upstairs.
