Bernard seemed to agree that his approach wasn't quite right. For the first time, he didn't argue with Robin, but instead, offered a suggestion, "If your sister is willing to marry Caleb, I can set up a proposal to the Spencer family."
Part of Bernard's plan before his undercover mission was to revoke Caleb's membership in the Siren Organization, allowing him to establish a family worry-free. As long as they were in love, it was all right to help Caleb break away from the Siren Organization in advance.
Katharine was taken aback by Bernard's words and was about to say something when Robin beat her to it, "No way! Even if my sister never gets hitched, she won't marry one of your guys. A bodyguard thinking he can marry into the Spencer family? That's just arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Scott raised an eyebrow. Caleb was a member of the Siren Organization and a subordinate of Mr. Law. He wasn't just any regular bodyguard. Robin was being narrow-minded. "Your sister is such a strong woman, only our Caleb wouldn't mind. And you're calling him arrogant? Seems like your sis is the one pretending to be classy here!"
The atmosphere, which had been calmer, suddenly tensed up again because of Scott's retort. Katharine, without missing a beat, punched Scott, knocking him over.
She then turned to Bernard, "Tell him. Even if all the men in the world died, I still wouldn't marry him!"
Seeing his sister stand by his side gave Robin more courage. He puffed up his chest and warned Bernard, "Bernard, I swear I'll never forgive you for letting your guy mess with my sister!"
"What are you going to do about it?"
"Hand over that Caleb. Otherwise, I'll destroy your Fiord Roundabout."
The Fiord Roundabout was the house Bernard gave to Eleanor as a wedding present. It was filled with Eleanor's hard work and creativity. For Robin to threaten to destroy it was like a madman talking nonsense.
"I won't repeat what I just said."
After saying this, Bernard took Eleanor's hand and left, not even turning back to look at Robin who was banging on the door.
Eleanor did look back though. Seeing Robin fighting so hard for his sister made her feel a bit envious...
