Kevin turned his head to Hayden, smiling, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Hayden, you’re fun when you’re desperate.”

From the moment he publicly declared his intention to pursue her, her reaction had intrigued him immensely. If Hayden had completely ignored him, he would have given up long ago.

He had no interest in a lifeless response.

Fortunately, Hayden wasn’t the type to be unresponsive.

“Kevin!” a loud voice called from behind.

Both Kevin and Hayden paused.

They turned to see a woman striding toward them assertively. She approached Kevin and slapped his hand away from Hayden.

It was Shiloh.

Having heard that Kevin had hung a banner at the Fortress Hotel to publicly declare his affection for Hayden, she rushed over to see what was happening.

In the end, Kevin had brazenly pulled Hayden into the hotel.

However, due to Kevin’s status, Hayden felt unable to resist him, which only fueled Shiloh’s anger.

She let out an exasperated shout and began to intervene on Hayden’s behalf.

After all, she was no longer the successor of the Farrell family and didn’t need to hide her feelings for Hayden—what did she have to lose?

Kevin was bold enough to openly pursue Hayden; why should she hold back?

Even though Shiloh had practiced a bit of martial arts, her skills were minimal. While her slap might have stung an ordinary person, to someone like Kevin, it felt merely like a scratch.

Not only could Kevin easily hold onto Hayden’s hand, but he also called for security, saying, “Remove this woman from the premises. She is banned from entering the Fortress Hotel from now on!”

Immediately, security personnel rushed over to handle the situation.

“Support Shiloh,” she urged.

Shiloh deftly evaded the security guards and exclaimed sharply, “Kevin, how dare you treat me this way? I am the second lady of the Farrell family. Others may fear you, but I do not! If you’re capable, prove it by competing with us fairly. What kind of ability do you have to force Young Master Queen like this?”

Kevin signaled the security guard to halt and laughed, “What does it mean to be the second lady of the Farrell family? Are you truly the second miss? I hardly recognize you. Let’s see if the Farrell family still acknowledges you as their daughter.

If you were Ms. Kathryn, I might give you some respect. She is the true daughter of the Farrell family and its rightful successor. But you, the imposter, barely register on my radar.

I don’t need anyone to fear me; I do as I please, and it’s none of your business. Fair competition? Miss Shiloh, your words are amusing. How can there be fairness in this world?

Furthermore, which one of your eyes saw me force Hayden? I may have taken off his shirt, but I left his pants on, and I certainly didn’t kiss or hug him. So why do you accuse me of using force?

On the contrary, if you truly have the ability, Miss Shiloh, then take Hayden from me. If you can’t, then stop making a scene in front of me. I’ll throw you out! What kind of insignificant person dares to challenge me?”

What was Shiloh, anyway?

Having occupied Kathryn’s identity for over twenty years, Shiloh still sought to intimidate Kathryn even after her return to the Farrell family. She was even more determined to undermine her from behind the scenes, aiming to claim the position of head of the Farrell family.

Kevin showed no respect for someone like her.

The head of the Farrell family had to be respectful in Kevin’s presence.

He would show some support to Kathryn, the genuine daughter of Kathryn, as his family, the Haydens, held her in high regard. The security guards at the Fortress Hotel promptly seized Shiloh and forcibly ejected her from the premises. This event caught the attention of onlookers and soon reached the media, quickly becoming a topic of gossip. The gossip piece claimed that Kevin and the second lady of the Farrell family were embroiled in a rivalry over Young Master Queen, leading to a confrontation. It included a photo of Shiloh slapping Kevin while holding Hayden’s hand. Ultimately, Kevin’s dominance overwhelmed the second lady of the Farrell family, resulting in her being thrown out by the Fortress Hotel’s security. Meanwhile, Young Master Queen fell under Kevin’s control, allowing him to take advantage of the situation.
