Chapter 1340 - 1379: His Appearance

As the voice fell, everyone in the hall finally noticed that at some point, Kyle Kinston had appeared in the lobby and was walking straight toward this side.

In an iron-gray suit that made his handsome face look even colder and sterner, and at this moment, those deep, pitch‑black phoenix eyes were chillingly fixed on Andrew Curtis.

Andrew Curtis shuddered violently, his body trembling. As a reporter, of course he recognized Kyle Kinston’s face.

But the problem was... when did this man arrive in J City? And he actually came to tonight’s banquet too... This... But he’d checked the guest list in advance; there was clearly no Kyle Kinston on it!

Little Katherine Quinn, the moment she saw Kyle Kinston appear, immediately broke into a huge smile and shouted toward him, "Daddy!"

So, once again, everyone’s gaze swung over to Katherine Quinn, and then they saw Kyle Kinston step forward and already scoop Katherine up into his arms.

This action was nothing less than a clear statement of his stance—Kyle Kinston was acknowledging Katherine Quinn’s identity as his daughter.

"Daddy, is Ivy a child Daddy doesn’t want?" The little one stared with those phoenix eyes that looked so much like Kyle Kinston’s and asked. Although she hadn’t really understood most of what Grandpa, Mommy, and that bad uncle had just said, there was one thing she did get: that bad uncle seemed to be saying Daddy didn’t want her at all.

The little one was furious, but before she had time to jump up and argue, Daddy appeared, so she immediately asked her daddy straight out.

The look Kyle Kinston gave Andrew Curtis grew even icier, making Andrew’s body shiver again, a chill racing up his spine. For a moment, all kinds of rumors about this Elder Kinston flashed through his mind.

He had originally thought that after all these years of Kyle completely ignoring Mabel Quinn and the daughter, it proved he couldn’t care less. Who could have imagined that Kyle would suddenly show up and, what’s more... openly acknowledge this daughter!

"How could Daddy ever not want Ivy? Daddy’s only afraid that Ivy won’t want Daddy." Kyle Kinston said.

"Ivy would never do that!" the little one immediately promised, then puffed herself up proudly and said to Andrew Curtis, "Ivy is totally not a child Daddy doesn’t want!"

Right now, Andrew Curtis could only brace himself and force out, "Mr... Mr. Kinston, I... I meant no harm. It’s just that Miss Mabel Quinn suddenly came back to the Quinn Family with her daughter, so I had some doubts. Sometimes some women will do anything for Money and status. I only don’t want Mr. Kinston to be deceived, that’s all."

Those words sounded nice; while washing his own hands clean, he also hinted at the possibility that Mabel Quinn was a gold‑digger, trying to stir up Kyle Kinston’s disgust toward her.

But Kyle Kinston looked like he’d just heard the funniest joke. "For Money and status? What, you think she covets the Quinn Family’s Money? Or the status of the Quinn family’s eldest daughter?"

"Both, I suppose. After all, her mother went missing because of her father, and yet now she can get along so harmoniously with that father. Isn’t that strange?" Andrew Curtis said.

Mabel Quinn shot Andrew Curtis a cold look and said, "The past between my parents is not for you to judge. If you dare say one more word about my father, I definitely won’t let you off!"

If it were any other time, Andrew Curtis would definitely seize on Mabel’s words as a hot topic to intensify the scandal, saying she was a cornered dog jumping over the wall.
