Keira narrowed her eyes.
The air was tight with tension, both sides' bodyguards wound up like springs, as if a single spark would set off a war.
Lena lifted her chin proudly, looking down at Keira and Lewis with smug disdain. "Cross me and there's only one way out for you—dead."
Scarlet outranked her as part of the direct line, so Lena couldn't touch her easily. But two outsiders? That was another story.
Besides, with her father standing here today, even Thomas wouldn't be able to shield them. After all, her aunt was the current head of the family.
The direct line had lost its edge.
Keira kept her gaze steady on Lena, then shifted it to the man at her side. That had to be Mason South, younger brother of the current head.
Fox had once warned her about him—ruthless, the kind of man who rarely moved but, when he did, it was always a killing blow.
Would someone like him really show up just because she and Lewis ticked off Lena?
