Mikayla smiled politely. "Mr. Robertson Senior, you're too kind. I'm the older one here, of course, I wouldn't hold a grudge against her."
But inside, she was cursing nonstop. She had initially planned to work through Isabelle to see if she could sway the Robertson family's position. However, Isabelle had turned out to be so ruthless that she would not even acknowledge her anymore.
So much for that!
This meeting was officially a failure.
However, Mikayla was unwilling to accept this. In the past, Isabelle would have stood by her without question, no matter what. But now, that loyalty was gone.
It was all because of that bastard that today's situation had slipped further and further out of her control.
After a few more minutes of awkward small talk, Theon could not stand it anymore. His expression hardened as he said, "In that case, Mr. Robertson Senior, we'll take our leave."
Saul did not bother trying to keep them and smiled. "I won't see you out, Mr. Orben."
Theon stood up, ready to leave.
At that moment, the Robertson family's butler, Alonso Hinton, hurried forward to Saul's side. "Sir, someone is requesting an audience."
Saul smiled. "Feel free to speak. There are no outsiders here."
Alonso hesitated before saying, "It's the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, Andrew."
Saul's hand shook as he held his teacup, his voice rising several notches. "Andrew? Are you certain?"
Before Alonso could respond, Isabelle had already spoken up with a smile. "Dad, it is Andrew! Dad. No doubt about it."
