Chapter 1122: Even Leyla had been kept in the dark about Keith's misdeeds. It was clear how desperately Dottie had tried to shield Keith, to maintain his facade as a good man.
Though in Dottie's head, his image had been tarnished, she had still wanted the world to see him as an untarnished nobleman. How absurdly tragic it was that Dottie had spent decades protecting a man who turned out to be utterly ungrateful.

A man like Keith, who had hidden his emotions for 30 long years, had becso entrenched in his ways that reasoning with him was impossible.
"You're sharper than I gave you credit for!" Keith's expression darkened, his face twisted with malice. "I expected you to go against them entirely, leaving both sides hurt." "What are you trying to say?" Eileen struggled to decipher his twisted mind. "Kamila is your wife, the woman who stood by you for thirty years. Aren't you afraid of retribution, throwing her into this mess? If it weren't for your actions, you could have led a happy life!" Keith had been handed everything on a silver platter, but he had smashed it all to pieces.
Kamila cfrom a distinguished family. Though not a beauty, she was gentle, raising her son and daughter with Keith, dutiful to a fault.
"Don't worry. From now on, I'll be quite content." Keith pulled a pair of white gloves from his pocket.
As he rolled up his sleeves, Eileen caught sight of several fresh scratches on his wrist.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to stage a car accident and wrap my hand in bandages." "You conspired with your wife's first love to makedisappear as a child to ensure my mother suffered a lifetof misery, didn't you?" Eileen asked.
Keith didn't hesitate to admit, “Yes. I was certain she couldn't endure the agony of losing her child. She held up longer than I had anticipated.” "Is Marisa also on your side?" Eileen quietly took a step back. With each step she took, Keith advanced, putting on his white gloves with precision, his eyes gleaming with lethal intent. "Naturally. It's impossible to keep everything hidden if someone starts digging. Your mother had her suspicions before she died, but unlike you, she never found out the full extent of it." Eileen's eyes narrowed. "Do you also want to kill me?"
Keith, who had once seemed the epitof a gentleman, now bared his fangs like a beast, drawing a sharp knife from his waist as heclosed in on Eileen. Don't think I'm stupid. Even if you return to Onaland, you'll keep probing into the truth of your disappearance. With your influence, it's only a matter of tbefore you uncover my secrets. I can't allow that. Fortunately, Alverton is my domain, and I can deal with you here. No one will be able to do a thing about it."
"So, all this time, you've been trying to stopfrom returning to Onaland because you're afraid of me?" Eileen paused for a moment. "No, you're scared of Bryan, aren't you?"
From the start, Keith and Bryan had exchanged only a few words. Bryan had sensed something was amiss with Keith, and now, his interest in Keith had piqued.
