Kirsten had left for a while, yet Adrian was still savoring the encounter. Especially when he escorted her out, the moment he opened the door, she affectionately embraced her mother, Inez, waiting outside, appearing every bit the obedient daughter—mind you, merely moments ago, this girl was still seething at her mother's control over her life.
"You have a remarkable daughter, Ms. Inez," Adrian sincerely said to Kirsten's mother. As for whether the other party understood what he really meant, that didn't matter.
But for someone so young to be so crafty and unscrupulous, was that good or bad? Adrian pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. Of course, it was a good thing. It was easier to control someone with ambition. If everyone was like Sarah, willing to sacrifice everything for her family, they wouldn't be so easily mastered. However, on the other hand, girls like Sarah deserved to be cherished—with even just a little care—whereas Kirsten... he would wait and see.
