Korbyn fixated his gaze on Waylen and remarked sharply, “Why the silence now? Waylen, you truly are something! Aware of Harold’s involvement with Rena, you proceeded to steal Rena away.

Waylen then said with restrained composure, “Dad, it seems premature to draw conclusions, wouldn’t you agree? The pivotal issue at hand is Rena’s apathy towards me. My standing has been diminished.”
