Chapter 2263 Peter was nursing a hangover from the previous night.
‘When he awoke in the wee hours, only to find his beloved daughter's room vacant, his fury knew no bounds.
Throughout the birthday festivities, Peter had been muttering curses nonstop, starting as early as five in the morning while he impatiently waited in the living room for the rascal to return with his daughter.

Peter's eyes bulged with anger, and Lina wore a displeased expression.
“Who was the one constantly refilling the glasses last night? Humph! Now you're concerned about our daughter. Where were you earlier?” Peter, uncharacteristically, fixed a stern gaze on Lina.
“Did Mark intentionally keep me inebriated just to create an opportunity for his precious son? I've always maintained that Edwin is shrewd, inheriting every ounce of cunning from his father! Out of all the young women available, why did he have to pursue our daughter?” Lina scolded him sharply, “Because you can be so foolish!” Peter was caught off guard by her blunt remark.
As Laura and Edwin made their entrance and heard the argument, Laura couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment.
Peter's bias was evident.

Peter ranted about Edwin's reckless behavior, all but ignoring Laura's role in the night's events.

Edwin gently patted Laura's shoulder and assured in a hushed tone, “You go upstairs first. Il handle this.” Laura hesitated briefly.
Lina spoke with warmth in her voice.
“We need to have a conversation with Edwin, Laura. You go on upstairs.” Coincidentally, Penney descended the stairs at that moment.
Lina requested her to escort Laura upstairs.
As Laura made her exit, she stole a quick glance at Edwin, who responded with a faint smile, causing Peter to sneer coldly.
“You're still working your charms on her!”
