Chapter 1002:
The surge of protective anger that had been building in Arthur immediately melted away under his daughter’s gentle but firm gaze. His stern features softened into a genuinely kind smile, and his voice became warm and welcoming. “Cole, please make yourself comfortable p>
Cole didn’t miss the silent communication that had just passed between father and daughter. He understood perfectly that it was Lilah’s protective intervention that had earned him this courteous treatment from Arthur. His heart filled with overwhelming tenderness at her thoughtfulness and care for him. A joyful smile spread across his face as he responded with sincere gratitude, “Thank you so much, Mr. Campbell p>
With that, Cole settled into the comfortable spot on the sofa next to them.

Just minutes ago, Cole had asked Arthur the reason behind the Campbell family’s sudden hostility toward Blaze Wildfire, only to be brushed off with a vague, “That’s confidential p>
