The man was so frightened that his voice trembled. "M-Mr. Morgan, what brings you here? Am I blocking your way? I'll move aside right away."
The man, who had been arrogant and self-righteous just a moment ago, instantly changed his demeanor. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Kieran.
Kieran's sharp gaze felt like a blade that could dismantle him, and just being looked at by him made the man break out in a cold sweat. He remained calm, his cold tone unchanged as he repeated, "Who did you just call disgusting?"
He stepped closer to Lila, and Cole hurried to follow.
Kieran was angry—very angry. Cole could only hope this so-called brave reporter hadn't done anything else wrong.
He was still a little confused, but the man realized that while he had done some unspeakable things over the years, he had never offended Kieran. He felt a slight relief, wiping away the sweat from his forehead before answering.
"Mr. Morgan, I was talking about Lila, that bitch by your side. She's still an employee of your company, yet she ignores Morgan Group's values, uses her power for personal gain, and coerces other actors into sleeping with her.
"It's utterly shameless! You can't keep someone like this in your company; she'll ruin Morgan Group's reputation," he spoke with righteous indignation.
Kieran squinted slightly, a barely discernible smile tugging at his lips. His expression was no longer as cold as before.
Lila narrowed her eyes, glancing between the man and Kieran, feeling that the situation had become absurd.
Cole clicked his tongue internally. This idiot had no idea that the more Kieran seemed calm, the angrier he actually was.
The man didn't realize this. Upon seeing Kieran's calm demeanor, he thought he had made the right call, feeling more at ease and thinking Lila's career would be over.
