Felix was satisfied with this outcome. Ernest did not immediately drive Kane out because of Hugo.

"Felix Zeller? How dare you show up?" Hugo sneered upon seeing Felix.

"The Lord Kane you were so proud of will leave defeated. Do you really think you can turn things around? What a joke!"

Before Hugo could continue, Callum slapped him across the face. "Shut up! This is not your place to speak."

What a foolish son! With Ernest present, Hugo should be trying to make a good impression as an innocent party. His provocation only served to bring momentary pleasure and greater loss. "Sir?" Ernest, recognizing Felix, immediately stepped forward to stand in front of him.

"Mr. Holt Senior, it's a surprise to see you again so soon," Felix greeted.

Following behind, Sherlyn had a surprised expression.

"Are you the one with a grudge against Hugo?" Ernest, being an elder, could quickly discern the situation.

Before Felix could respond, Edward was already anxious. "Do you know him, Mr. Holt Senior?"

Though he had never met Felix, Edward knew from Hugo's earlier comments that this young man was the Felix who almost pursued Wendy.

"I don't just know him," Ernest replied with a smile. "He even saved my life. Now I finally know your name."

Felix saved Ernest's life?

The revelation hit the Lamberts like a thunderclap.

Hugo's body trembled uncontrollably. He panicked about what to do.

Ernest, the connection they were so proud of, had called Felix his savior. It was clear where Felix's status truly lay.

"If that's the case, then I won't meddle."

Ernest's words made the Lamberts' faces go pale. If he stepped back, who else could handle Kane? No one.

"I beg you, Mr. Holt Senior. Hugo is my most cherished grandson. I was the first to hold him when he was born. Please help us," Edward pleaded.

With a frown, Ernest looked at Edward. "Do I need to follow your orders?"

Edward quickly waved his hands. "No, no! Of course not."

Hugo, finally coming to his senses, kneeled before Felix. "I was blind, Mr. Zeller! Please give me another chance. I promise to stay away from Wendy and never show up again." Sherlyn looked perplexed. She wondered if all this drama was really caused by a woman named Wendy, Could Felix really be so shallow?

Felix's treatment of Ernest during the day had left a deep impression on Sherlyn. Who would have thought that such a melodramatic scene would unfold by evening?

"You're free to pursue whomever you like. It's none of my business, but you're too arrogant."

After saying that, Felix turned to Ernest. "But since Mr. Holt Senior is present today, I must pay him some respect. Hugo, let's bury the hatchet." He then extended his arm for a handshake. Bury the hatchet?

Hugo couldn't believe his ears. Ernest also frowned. The rapid turnaround was startling. Given Kane's earlier stance, the situation seemed complex. Was it really resolved just like that?

Seeing Hugo still on his knees, Felix narrowed his eyes. "What now? You don't want to?"
