Chapter 30
Evelyn and Keith had a pleasant conversation, and she found him quite interesting, at least not repulsive.
As the evening banquet concluded, Evelyn left with Aidan. Just before leaving, Keith bade a farewell to her, "Dr. Kyte, goodbye."
"Bye." Evelyn waved to him and got into the car.
When the car disappeared into the darkness, Keith ceased to smile and rubbed his cheeks to massage his numb muscles.
Turning around, he found Dermot standing behind him, appearing out of nowhere.
"Dermot, do you plan to freak me out?" he said discontentedly, retreating a few steps.
After all, he was no match for Dermot.
Dermot stared at him with a serious face. "It's our business. Don't get others involved."
Keith laughed and rubbed his ears, asking in disbelief, "What did you say? I didn't mishear that, did I? Are you actually concerned for a woman?"
"Keith, as for your childish acts in the past, I'll let it go. But it doesn't mean I won't settle the score with you now," Dermot growled. Keith had caused him a lot of trouble over the years.
Dermot didn't want to engage with Keith. After all, he was a victim of that incident years ago.
However, Dermot's patience was wearing thin.
Upon hearing Dermot's words, Keith's expression grew even more unpleasant. "What do you mean? All these years, I've been gaining the upper hand, and the only reason is that you didn't want to bother with me?"
"What else do you think?" Dermot look at Keith confusingly, as if Keith were a fool.
Provoked by Dermot, Keith pointed at him and said, "Dermot, stop trying to act mature. Do you think you're so powerful? Kill me if you dare.
"Or I'll kill you and your whole damn family!"
After Keith's outburst, Dermot indifferently replied, with a hint of sneer on his face, "Is that so? I'm afraid you are not able to."
"Just you wait!"
Angered, Keith turned away but then suddenly turned back. He snarled at Dermot, "By the way, you're interested in that Dr. Kyte, aren't you?"
"No," Dermot answered.
"No?" Keith sneered. "Really? That's great. I'm planning to pursue her and make her my girlfriend. What do you think of that?"
As Keith spoke, he could feel the chill from Dermot, which only fueled his excitement.
"Do as you please." After a while, Dermot replied. Without another word, he left.
Watching Dermot leave, Keith clenched his fists tightly, saying, "Do as I please? I do wonder if you really don't care. Or are you just pretending?"
At the same time, inside Aidan's car, Evelyn rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat exhausted. It seemed that such banquets weren't her scene.
"How did you get acquainted with Keith?" Aidan, who was driving, abruptly inquired. He seemed not happy with that.
"We just met at the banquet earlier." Evelyn replied, then asked, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing much. That guy's unpredictable. You need to keep your distance from him." Aidan frowned as he said it.
Evelyn nodded. She hadn't intended to get too involved with Keith.
"A few years ago, the Kartland family was struggling. Just as they were on the brink of bankruptcy, Keith suddenly made a move, killed his father, and took control of the family. Then the Kartland family became what it is today," Aidan continued, in case Evelyn didn't grasp his meaning.
Today, the Kartland family was prestigious in Moris City, though not quite on par with the Doyle family yet still formidable.
"He killed his father?" Evelyn couldn't believe it.
"That's the widespread rumor. It's probably true." Aidan answered, "Now do you understand how dangerous he is?"
If Keith could killed his father, let alone outsiders.
