Lila had just taken a few steps when someone blocked her path. "Are you here alone, pretty lady? Want to hang out for a while?"
She glanced at the outstretched hands, then took a step back, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Don't refuse, you—"
"Get lost," Lila coldly interrupted.
"You've got some fire in you, but you're already here. What's with the act?"
Unable to stand by, the bartender asked, "Why make things hard for a girl?"
Lila's mood had already soured, and her patience was running thin. Her gaze turned icy as she asked, "Do you know who I am?"
The tall, thin man scoffed. "Do you know who I am? I could be your father if I want to."
"Hey, how dare you call yourself her father? You're asking for trouble."
The two men looked disturbed at first, but their expressions shifted to fear when they turned to see who had spoken. "Mr. West! Long time no see! Is this your girl?" The two men quickly tried to ingratiate themselves.
Landon's expression darkened. "If you can't speak properly, I'll make sure you can't speak at all."
He stepped in front of Lila, glaring fiercely at the two men. "You two, drag them somewhere private and beat them senseless. If you accidentally kill them, Kieran from the Morgan family will take full responsibility."
The two men were terrified, not even understanding how they'd ended up in this mess with the Morgan family's devil.
"Mr. West, we were wrong. Please spare us! We don't even know what we did to offend you!"
However, Landon didn't pay them any more attention. He turned to Lila with a smile and asked, "Lila, what are you doing sitting here all alone? Where's Kieran?"
Lila recognized this kid from the West family. He often followed Kieran around. He was carefree and had an easygoing personality. It was clear he'd grown up pampered.
