Lewis Horton frowned.
Kiera glanced at him and nodded slightly.
She had just called her father, Uncle Olsen, and the Freeman Sect Leader, and both parties had immediately reacted, responding quite swiftly.
Now, the only one left was Lewis Horton.
As Kiera moved closer, about to explain her reasons, Lewis Horton spoke up: "When you're in trouble, some people will kick you when you're down, some will distance themselves from you to avoid being implicated, but there has to be someone who maintains your defense. Since my reputation as a love-struck fool has already been spread, I might as well carry on with it to the end."
Kiera: "..."
Lewis Horton was right. She couldn't go overboard just to put on a show for outsiders; that would appear too fake.
If all three families issued statements saying they had nothing to do with her, it would seem somewhat staged...
Kiera coughed softly, and said in a low voice, "So, I'm causing you trouble then?"
