Rutherford had succeeded in appeasing his wife and elevating his reputation in the eyes of his children.
Therefore, he was in a good mood now but that faded when he heard footsteps coming in their direction.
Upon glancing at the source of the sounds that were growing louder with each second, he found his eyes darkening at the sight of the man who was walking towards him.
After all, this man was the reason he had suffered just earlier.
If he had not behaved in such a devious manner then Rutherford would not have to deal with his wife getting mad at him when he had done no wrong at all.
The thought of what he had faced just earlier made the Earl's eyes narrow as he leered at the one who had now come to a halt before their group.
Since the children had already distanced themselves from the three couples who had been arguing, right now, it was just those three couples facing the family of four who had approached them.
