"I don't think so. It looks like Edward hasn't mentioned that to Duke." Kevin knew very well how important Leena was to those powerful men. If they ever got to know that Leena was in pain or suffering, Kevin could be in serious trouble.

  "Never let him know that. Otherwise things will get complicated." Leena had a clear understanding of her brother's personality and what he was capable of. He wouldn't tolerate any wrongdoings towards his sister.

  "The inevitable happens one way or another and there's no escaping from it. We better let nature take its course. Fire can't be wrapped up in paper. Why bother yourself in a fruitless attempt to hide it from them?" Kevin was quite open-minded about this. He had no secrets to hide from others. As long as he was honest and big-hearted, he would be fine.

  "But I'm worried about you. You know that Duke gets ill-tempered sometimes, especially when I am involved. You should know the consequences better than others." Leena was a bit worried. Duke harbored grudges against Kevin already. If he was informed of what happened to her, it would mean trouble.

  "Don't worry. I can endure the pain," Kevin answered. He smiled at his wife soothingly. As he did so, he released her hands and looked over her, his gaze intense.

  "Why are you staring at me?" Leena asked nervously. It made her feel embarrassed to be stared at so passionately. She subconsciously touched her face, fearing that it was smeared by mud or something.

  Claire was already dressed up for dinner. Impatiently, she waited downstairs for a long time, but Leena and Kevin didn't show up. She was about to yell at them when she saw Kevin come downstairs. "Kevin, what took you so long?" Claire asked in irritation. "Didn't you know I was waiting for you here?"

  "No need to get mad. I'm here now, don't you see? What's the rush? It's still early," Kevin answered. He deliberately kept from Claire the reason he was late. He was talking to Leena about something important, so Claire had to wait.

  "Why are you alone? Where is Leena? Don't tell me she is still dressing up? No matter how long she takes, she would still look old-fashioned and ordinary," Claire derided as a lopsided grin lingered around the corners of her mouth. Although she hated Leena, she didn't really dare to go too far in front of her brother. Reluctantly, Claire had to watch her mouth and not disrespect Leena, and even pretend to be nice.
