Nicole and Lila were playing with Yasmin when Kieran returned. Yasmin held the building block and slowly stacked it on the table. Although she was quiet, each time she placed a block, she would look at Lila and Nicole.
After Lila and Nicole praised Yasmin with a smile, Yasmin would smile and continue to place another block.
The sound of the door opening startled her. Before she could place the block at the top, the building blocks collapsed, causing her to panic.
Lila quickly rubbed Yasmin's shoulders to calm her down. "Don't worry. I know you were frightened by the sound of the door opening. Let's build another one, alright?"
Yasmin nodded and continued building. It was then that Lila raised her head and glanced at Kieran. She seemed to be blaming him.
Kieran couldn't help but chuckle. In the past, there was Nova. Now, there was Yasmin fighting against him for Lila's love.
Nonetheless, Kieran didn't forget about the important matter. "Who's the man outside?"
The man wanted to stop Kieran from entering, but quickly shut his mouth when Kieran shot him a glance.
Lila put down the building block in her hand and pulled Kieran to the window. She vaguely explained what happened to him.
After Kieran heard all that, his expression darkened. "Were you guys hurt?"
"No." Lila shook her head. The Jost family made a scene but didn't fight them. It was obvious they only wanted money. They didn't want any conflict.
Even though Lila couldn't remember what happened in the past, she sensed that 300 thousand dollars wasn't a lot for Kieran. Nevertheless, no matter how wealthy they were, it was still hard-earned money.
"So, I want to have someone look into this family and see if they have done anything bad so we can tackle them back.
