His voice sounded calm, yet the pressure hidden behind those words instantly caused the atmosphere to freeze.
Mrs. Almond's expression darkened immediately. Her face twisted with displeasure as she pointed at Lana emotionally.
"She is our daughter. It is only right for us to lecture you, you are an outsider..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jones suddenly interrupted her with an icy chuckle.
"An outsider? You all are outsiders. She is related to me."
"You... we are prominent figures..." Mrs. Almond began.
Jones calmly adjusted his sleeves before speaking in an indifferent tone.
"I belong to a very powerful family as well. Do you really want to know which family?"
The moment those words left his mouth, both Mr. and Mrs. Almond froze completely.
Their faces instantly turned pale.
Of course, they wanted to regain their relationship with Lana and continue acting as though they were caring parents.
