Milo came over in high spirits to find Quinn, but the moment he saw them, he frowned.
He growled, "Quinn, it's broad daylight. What exactly are you two doing?"
At that moment, Quinn had been leaning cozily against Lennox. Even though they were not doing anything inappropriate, the intimate pose still made Milo, as a father, instantly annoyed.
Quinn quickly stepped away from Lennox, her cheeks flushed. However, she did not seem embarrassed at all as she smiled. "Dad, you're here."
Milo let out a cold grunt and looked at Lennox. "Where's your father? If he wants to talk to me, then he should show himself, because I need to see some sincerity."
Lennox grinned. "Relax, Mr. Avila. There's no need to be that impatient. Are you really here alone?"
Milo frowned. "Of course, I came alone. And let me be clear first: if you want to marry Quinn, you have to pass my test. If you fail, you can forget about marrying her."
Quinn immediately protested. "Dad, way to kill the vibe. Do you really have to say that? Lennox's feelings for me are real, and the Grand Elder himself has approved of our relationship. Marrying Lennox is good for both of us, don't you think?"
Milo gave a nonchalant grunt, pretending it was no big deal. Though internally, he was overjoyed.
The Elders at the Advanced Medical Institute never respected him, and compared to Corbin, who held all the power, he was practically a joke. Yet now that their families could be joined, he felt like he had finally landed a huge advantage.
A mocking smile played on Lennox's lips as he watched the pair. He found it deeply amusing that these two were so blissfully unaware of their impending doom.
Quinn turned to him and said sweetly, "Lennox, my dad is here. Should we ask the Grand Elder to come and finalize things?"
