Victor Hawthorne turned around and instantly met Kyle Keaton’s cold, eerie black eyes.
He wanted to tell Leo that compared to a new romance, his uncle was the real cure for all heartbreak!
Look, as soon as his uncle stared at him, all the sadness, the nasal sting, instantly retreated.
What’s left is only sheer fright.
Seeing Victor still in a daze, his mother Helena Astor hurriedly answered for him.
At the same time, she gave his side a hard pinch.
"What are you daydreaming about, you brat? Didn’t you hear your uncle asking you a question?"
Victor, having been hit, though a bit unwilling, could only grin foolishly under Kyle Keaton’s intimidating pressure.
"Didn’t I just start my sophomore year in college? How am I 21 already?"
Kyle Keaton frowned, as he remembered he had completed sophomore college courses by the age of 13.
Victor weakly replied, "The year I took the college entrance exam, I broke my leg and spent a year recovering at home before retaking, which caused the delay."
Seeing Kyle Keaton’s slight displeasure, Helena Astor quickly added, "This kid’s not as sharp-minded as you, so I didn’t hire a private tutor for him; I sent him to a traditional school instead."
Although Kyle Keaton was Helena’s cousin, she couldn’t help but use an honorific when addressing him.
No way around it, as Kyle Keaton’s aura was so powerful it was nerve-wracking.
As they coped with the pressure from Kyle Keaton, he suddenly changed the topic.
At the moment the words left his mouth, Victor and Helena looked at each other.
They couldn’t figure out what Lord Keaton meant by this question. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
But they also didn’t dare to keep Kyle Keaton waiting.
Victor anxiously tugged at his pants, then confessed, "Didn’t win her over, and for now, I’m not planning to date."
His first love turned out to be a gold-digger like Joy Quinn, which suddenly dashed Victor’s hopes for a sweet romance.
Helena Astor somewhat blamed Victor for mentioning such an awkward failed-romance situation in front of Kyle Keaton.
But she quickly noticed that right after Victor finished speaking, Kyle Keaton’s chilling aura significantly receded; even the goosebumps caused by the strange coldness vanished.
While Helena and Victor wondered about this weird change, Kyle Keaton spoke again.
"Dating at this age seldom ends well; you might as well focus your energy on your career. After all, a man must have his own career."
Victor felt there was something off about his uncle’s words.
He had never been in love; how did Kyle know that dating at this age rarely ends well?
But before he could voice his doubts, Helena urged him, "Aren’t you going to thank your uncle for his advice?"
"Oh, thank you, Uncle."
In front of elders, Victor had no choice.
Kyle Keaton, knowing that someone hadn’t been dating, found Victor more agreeable and instructed further.
"If you’re free during winter break, come intern at my company."
With those words, not only did Helena and Victor’s eyes light up, but even those who had been secretly eavesdropping on the Keaton family’s conversations looked on with envy and jealousy.
Although it was just an invitation for Victor to intern at the Keaton Group, it was still considered gaining Lord Keaton’s mentorship, signaling boundless future prospects!
By now, Victor had completely cast aside the pain of his heartbreak, feeling on cloud nine.
Others were still eagerly hoping Kyle Keaton might mentor someone else, but after finishing his conversation with Victor’s family, Kyle Keaton left The Keaton Estate without even having a meal...
