Inside the Keller residence, George looked stern as he called his daughters to come before him. He asked, "You three were behind the conflict between the Irvings and Andy, weren't you?"

Emily remained silent, Freya snorted coldly without responding, and Hannah giggled.

She said, "Dad, we were just playing a little joke on him! You want to marry one of us to him, right? Of course, we had to test him first!"

George sneered coldly, "Is that so? So, what did your test reveal?"

Hannah pouted. "We found out he's completely useless! If you hadn't stepped in, Dad, Mr. Irving might have beaten him to a pulp!"

George laughed—but it was a cold laugh. "So, all three of you think this way?"

The three sisters did not speak, but all nodded, their expression contemptuous.

George suddenly roared, "Foolish! If you three weren't girls, I would have given you all a severe beating today!"

This sudden outburst frightened the three.

Hannah, being the most delicate, immediately teared up.
