David Redington stepped forward, blocking in front of Lily.
He stared directly at Hannah Ford, his eyes full of arrogance and pride.
Those eyes, deeper than the ocean, gradually grew colder.
The icy, piercing gaze made Hannah Ford instinctively step back.
"Cous… Cousin…" she called out instinctively.
Ever since she was young, she had both wanted to ingratiate herself with and feared the man before her.
"Miss Coldwell is mistaken, I am not your cousin."
David Redington's voice was cold, as he deliberately emphasized the word "Coldwell."
Only then did Hannah Ford realize that her status had changed.
She was no longer Miss Ford, she was now Charles Coldwell's daughter, the noble daughter of Marshal Coldwell of Eastonia.
A status many times more prestigious than that of Miss Ford.
Hannah Ford stood taller, puffing up her chest.
When she looked at David Redington, she was no longer as timid as she had been at the start.
