I scoffed, repelled by the naivety that fueled this human's words. "You truly believe I care about what my father wants?" My tone dripped with disdain, and I took a deliberate step closer.
"You think you can leverage his name and expect me to cower? You're either ignorant or desperate." My gaze swept across the room, meeting the eyes of each person present.
