Makai immediately said in surprise, "Brother, really? Do you know Tom? I see that he is dressed in cheap clothes. He has nothing extraordinary. Could it be possible that you know the wrong person?"
Colton frowned slightly and tried to remember from whom he had heard the name. But after thinking for a while, he didn't remember it. He then shook his head, "I forgot. Maybe I heard it somewhere."
Makai said with a smile, "I told you. How could a small potato like him impress you?"
Seeing Makai like this, Colton asked curiously, "Makai, is this Tom really that bad? I don't think you've ever been so angry with a young man."
"Humph!" When Makai said this, he was full of anger. He rolled up his sleeves and put on a posture, "That's more than just being bad. Tom simply does not know to show respect and or obey laws, and has no self-awareness! What's more, he has attacked a few of my bodyguards in the beginning. Later, even after he found out that I was Kaylie's uncle, he still showed no respect for me and offended me in all kinds of manners! Hey, you weren't there at that time, otherwise, you would have been irritated on the spot! I don't know how Kaylie gets interested in such a punk and refused to marry Martin!"
Makai kept talking and spoke ill of Tom for three minutes. He also complained that Kaylie didn't know how to pick the right person, giving up marrying a good young man like Martin. Instead, Kaylie got attracted by an uneducated, unintelligent gangster and scum. To make matters worse, Kaylie's involvement with such a person would tarnish the reputation of the Knights and would be laughed by outsiders.
After Makai's complaint, Colton had to take it seriously, who then said, "If it's really like what you said, I should be cautious."
Makai was very anxious, "Brother, what's there to be careful about? Bring Kaylie back immediately and teach her a good lesson! You know, in three days, there will be an engagement party. Everyone in the circle knows the news. If it doesn't work out by then, how will our the Knights maintain the reputation?"
Colton did not answer immediately. He remained silent for a while, then he nodded gently and said, "Yes, I see. I will deal with it. It's getting late. You should go back and rest first."
"Okay."
After Makai left, Colton said to the woman beside him, "Madam, what do you think about this?"
The woman said, "From what I know about Kaylie, she knows the difference between right and wrong. She probably won't associate with gangsters. Besides, Makai is not calm enough today, and he was emotional. We can't just judge things based on his words."
"You are right." Colton smiled and flattered the woman. At the same time, Colton began to caress her body. The woman immediately slapped him away and said shyly, "Keep your hands clean. We have been married for a long time. Why are you still so naughty?"
"That's exactly why I do not have to be polite." Colton laughed, who looked like a libertine. Outsiders would be quite surprised seeing this, as no one would have thought that Colton, who was so serious in the circle, would have such a frivolous manner.
After the teasing and flirting between the two, Colton withdrew his frivolity and said seriously, "My idea is to see this Tom in person first, see where he came from, and then make plans."
"The engagement party is in three days. Are we still in time?"
Colton's eyes flashed brightly and he said in a meaningful manner, "It's in time."
...
As for Tom and Kaylie, they went back to the hotel after supper.
Tom and Kaylie talked a lot along the way. Of course, it was mainly Kaylie who was talking, and Tom was listening. Kaylie mainly talked about her childhood experiences, her worries, thoughts, and feelings. She had this inexplicable desire to tell Tom almost everything about herself.
"By the way, I told you all my stories. What about you? What's your story?" Kaylie finally asked, looking at Tom.
"My story?" Tom was stunned for a moment. Then, some feelings flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head and smiled, "I don't have any stories to tell. My life is very ordinary, very ordinary."
"You are lying." Kaylie immediately pouted and said unhappily, "According to a woman's intuition, you must have a wonderful story."
"Haha." Tom laughed, "You think too much. I really don't have a story."
