After doing all this, Silas Thorne looked at Kian Jacobs, signaling for him to also pretend to be drunk.
Kian Jacobs immediately understood his intentions.
'Get drunk and see who my sister chooses to take care of?'
Kian Jacobs had no intention of stooping to a trick as crude as splashing alcohol on himself, but he was curious to see if his sister was genuinely interested in Silas Thorne.
To be honest, after Silas Thorne himself had confirmed Kian's suspicions, Kian had felt surprised and a little angry, but mostly, he was relieved—even a little glad. Silas was right: for a marriage of convenience, one binding their interests, having genuine affection involved was the best-case scenario.
From what he knew of Silas Thorne, if the man was truly in love, he would undoubtedly treat his sister incredibly well.
And yet, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
'To think I let that punk get his way so easily back then!'
'If Father found out the truth, with his personality...'
