Brandan was taken aback by her question.
Yes, he didn't like Iris Harris, so why should he care which man she was with?
But...
"I don't like you." Brandan slightly pursed his lips, his voice turning cold, "But if that person threatens the Harris family, then it's a different story!"
Iris Harris was stunned, not understanding what he meant, and she frowned slightly, "Brandan, what do you mean?"
"You surely know what that man does for a living, don't you?"
"..." Iris Harris was silent for a moment, her lips pressing slightly, and after a while, she said, "No matter what Xavier Gambon does, it doesn't affect my friendship with him."
"Ha!" Brandan let out a cold laugh, "You're so close to him; there's no guarantee he won't stand up for you! What if Viola Harris got retaliated against because of you?"
Yes...
The reason he was so angry, so impatient with that man, was precisely because of this.
He feared that man might harm Viola Harris for Iris Harris's sake.
