I froze inside, subconsciously looking at Daniel Carter.
"Grandpa, Jiang..." Daniel was about to speak, but the old master interrupted, "I'm just chatting casually with Miss Miller, why are you anxious? How could I harm your lifesaver?"
Although Old Master Carter seemed amiable towards me, the constant address of "Miss Miller" made it clear to me.
—This hurdle, I didn't pass.
The implication from the old master was that gratitude is gratitude, and reality is reality.
The reality is, I come from the Miller Family, whose members have a tarnished history that can't match the Carter Family.
Even though it wasn't stated explicitly, I understood clearly.
"Yes, my father made some mistakes in business, which landed him in prison, but due to his recent health issues, he applied for medical parole."
I spoke the truth, without hiding anything.
Nor could I hide it.
Old Master Carter nodded, "I heard you were the one who turned him in, prioritizing righteousness over family?"
"Yes."
