Nathaniel Cooper did not answer.
Kevin Kyle added, "My daughter has always been a treasure in our family ever since she was young and she was never once mistreated or hurt before. Besides not letting her down, you need to hold her in your arms and care for her like we always do."
This was the first time that Kevin spoke so much to an outsider, and it was not even related to work.
Although he knew that he was being a little demanding to request that Nathaniel treated Karen Joy like how their family did, Kevin would never hand his daughter over if he couldn't achieve this.
Nathaniel knew what Kevin wanted very well, but he couldn't say anything nice to him, so he only kept silent.
He knew very well that in his life, besides being loyal to Karen Joy, he needed to provide her the care and freedom of a princess. He had to be her strongest support so that she would be as happy as she used to be when she was a child.
Since Nathaniel said nothing, Kevin was getting more agitated with him. He was only here because he knew how much his daughter liked him.
"Mr. President, yes, you are the leader of the country. The Kyle family may not be as powerful as you, but Miss Kyle is a child that we love very much. If you're not completely devoted to her, or if you're up to something else, then Director Kevin will definitely not have mercy on you. There was once a very clueless and bold kid, who wanted to win the favor of our Miss Kyle, so that Rovio would provide funding for them. But guess what was the result?" Nick spoke up on behalf of Kevin again.
Nathaniel was the President of a country, but he had just taken the position and had a lot of people who did not like him. He was now in a precarious situation, and any slight carelessness could lead to his downfall.
The Kyle family did not have the power that Nathaniel had, but Kevin had been running Rovio for decades. He owned a strong business empire, and no one could overtake his success.
Nick's words seemed to be very tactful and polite, but every word hit through Nathaniel's heart like a sharp knife.
"Mr. Black, what do you mean by that?" If Nick could speak up for his master, the loyal Jason Lesley wanted to speak up for Nathaniel too, as he could not take how the other parties were belittling his master.
"What do I mean? I'm sure Mr. President understood my words very well," Nick said.
"Do you mean to say that Mr. President wants the help of the Kyle family? Bullshit!" As he saw how his master, the President of a country, was satirized by the Kyle Family, Jason was extremely angry.
"Jason, back off!" Nathaniel yelled out loud.
"Mr. President, I..." Jason wanted to say something more, but when he saw the fierce look in Nathaniel's eyes, he had to back down.
After Jason left, Nathaniel looked at Kevin and saw that his expression remained cold. It was as if he was still waiting for his response.
"Mr. Kyle, I, Nathaniel, have never thought of getting any help from a girl before. I can assure you that Karen is the girl that I want to protect in my life. I have something to attend to, unfortunately, so I'm sorry, I'll have to leave first."
Nathaniel spoke sternly and confidently. After that, he bowed to Kevin and turned around to leave.
He admitted that Karen Joy had compromised a lot for him, but he would never let others think that he wanted to take advantage of her.
Over the years, he had paid attention to her every move and even sent people to be close to her and protect her. He just wanted to know about some of her updates and know that she was growing up healthily.
"Director Kevin, he..." Nick had been by Kevin's side for many years. This was the first person who spoke so sternly with him and even walked away before he did.
"Let him go." Kevin waved his hand to stop Nick, and a faint smile appeared on his face. What he wanted to see was a young man with grit and courage, and the ability to protect his daughter.
"Yes." Nick closed his mouth.
