Meanwhile, Bernard and Chad were in the living room of Chad's main house.
They were facing each other coldly and sullenly. The atmosphere was in a stalemate.
"Don't make such arrangements for me again!" Bernard said coldly.
"What's wrong with Ms. Chime? She's the only marriageable daughter who can match the Killians. She is well-educated and has medical skills. She can help you a lot once you marry her. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Chad said sternly.
"If she's so good, why don't you marry her?" Bernard sneered.
He was half a head taller than Chad, making him appear more frivolous and haughtier as he glanced at Chad.
"Nonsense!" Chad slammed a cup on the ground.
It was one of his favorite antique tea sets. He usually took good care of it, but he smashed it at this moment, showing his anger.
Neil, the butler, was so frightened that he rushed forward to help Chad sit down and coaxed him, "Mr. Chad, please don't get angry."
He then said to Bernard, "Mr. Bernard, Mr. Chad is in poor health. Don't deliberately make him angry."
Of course, Bernard was doing it on purpose. Chad was old enough to be Camille's grandfather, and his wife was still alive.
Bernard's return always irritated Chad. They always concluded their conversations poorly.
"You've gone wild in the last two years! Have you forgotten your upbringing? I should've made you stay in the army for the rest of your life!" Chad slammed the coffee table.
"You should've killed me a long time ago! Isn't it too late to regret it now?" Bernard glared at Chad.
Back then, Chad was the one who caused his mother to die. It was Albert who took him back to the Killians.
After Albert's death, Lucius was imprisoned while Daphne died in a car accident. So, Chad naturally became his guardian.
