He should consider himself fortunate that my daughter is safe and sound. Otherwise... not just him-the entire White family would have faced the consequences." A dangerous glint flickered in his eyes.
Rachel had expected this from the very beginning, so she wasn't surprised.

Wilson assumed she was about to leave, but instead, she straightened her back and bowed deeply.
"Mr. Carpenter, I know how much you love Natalia and how fiercely you protect her. I understand your anger—it's only natural. If there must be consequences, then let them fall on me. I was the one who took Natalia to see Brian, the one who brought her to the party. From the start, I had a hand in this, and I can't deny my responsibility. As for Brian White, he failed to protect her, and that is his burden to bear. However..." Even though fear tightened around her heart, Rachel refused to back down. Meeting Wilson's unwavering gaze, she took a steady breath and pressed on, "But from a different perspective, this might not be a disaster at all. In fact, it could actually be a good thing." Wilson raised an eyebrow, his deep voice tinged with skepticism. "A good thing? I'd like to hear your reasoning." Rachel kept her tone calm and firm. "From what I've observed and from my conversations with Natalia these past few days, I believe she's already lost faith in Brian White. The care she shows him is out of her natural kindness, not love. If anything, this might be the moment she finally moves on." Wilson's gaze sharpened. He took a slow sip of his coffee, pausing in thought before looking at her intently. "How sure are you about this?" .cóm is the source "Seventy to eighty percent," Rachel answered with firm conviction.
Noticing that Wilson seemed to waver slightly, she seized the chance to press on. "Mr. Carpenter, if you let Brian White go, Natalia might finally break free from her lingering attachment to him. Isn't that a worthwhile outcome? On the other hand, if you choose to detain him, harm him, or escalate tensions between your families, her compassionate nature could lead her to take the blupon herself. She may feel responsible for what happens to him, which could make it even harder for her to let go." Wilson didn't respond immediately. Instead, he got up, turned toward the window, and clasped his hands behind his back.
His expression was unreadable, his lips pressed into a firm line as he stared into the distance, lost in contemplation.
Rachel, meanwhile, felt her palms grow damp with sweat. Her hands curled into fists at her sides.
