"Since things are like this, call off the wedding," The man's voice was heavy and harsh as he spoke to his daughter without a care in the world.
Ayami's face drained of color as she heard this.
"What do you mean? I've come so far...!"
"Call off the wedding and I'll be able to protect you," Mr. Watanabe firmly spoke as he stared at his daughter with a straight face lacking all emotions.
"And what if I don't?" Ayami gritted out as she glared at her so-called father.
The man raised an eyebrow, feeling slightly surprised that his daughter could have such a hostile look in her eyes for him.
"Then give up the company."
"..."
After a lot of thinking, this was the only conclusion that the man was able to come to. He had been in the industry for long enough and with time, there was a skill that he had learned; it was the skill to make early sacrifices in order to avoid future dangers.
