Tobias could still feel the sting burning across his cheek from Scarlett’s slap. It was hot, almost as though his skin were on fire.

“What did you say?” Tobias demanded angrily.

Scarlett wasn’t intimidated. “You heard what I said. I’m not going to repeat it. If you want to hear everything I said again, ask your secretary so she can at least be useful for something other than her body.”

She threw open the car door and stepped out without a second glance.

Tobias gripped the steering wheel, his ja

    Scarlett waited for the dizziness and nausea to subside before rinsing her mouth. She also splashed water over her face, then carefully stepped out of the bathroom.The living room was quiet when she returned. Only Darius was there, sitting at the table and silently staring ahead. Greg had disappeared, leaving behind a faint trace of laughter that seemed out of place now. It seemed he would be sleeping in the car.Scarlett felt a little awkward as she approached. “I’m sorry. I’m not feeling very well right now.”Darius didn’t look up right away. When he did, his eyes were cool, his expression unreadable. “If you’re not feeling well, eat at least a little and then get some rest.”Scarlett nodded because Darius was right. If she didn’t eat, she would only feel worse. “All right.”She didn’t touch the sandwich again because she couldn’t bring herself to eat it. She also made sure not to let Darius notice, afraid he might become suspicious. Instead, she only drank some water and ate a lit

    Scarlett’s cheeks turned red from embarrassment. “I wouldn’t dare. Thank you, Darius, for letting me stay tonight.”Darius glanced at her, noticing her wet hair and the clothes clinging to her skin. “Go inside. Change your clothes right away so you don’t get sick.”Scarlett nodded. “Thank you again.” She dipped her head and quietly slipped into one of the rooms, the soft thud of the door echoing faintly down the hallway.Only after the door closed did Darius finally release the breath he had been holding. His eyes had unintentionally lingered on Scarlett’s clothes, the outline of her bra faintly visible beneath her blouse, which had been soaked through by the rain.A little while later, Greg came inside. He hurried over to tell Darius what he had learned. “Sir, I found out that the reason she was out there alone was because she had an argument with her husband. Apparently, Ma’am Scarlett was so mad with Sir Tobias that she got out of the car herself. He didn’t even try to stop her and

If you want to hear everything I said again, ask your secretary so she can at least be useful for something other than her body.”She threw open the car door and stepped out without a second glance.Tobias gripped the steering wheel, his jaw clenched tightly. “You sure about this, Scarlett?”She shot him a glare over her shoulder, her voice clipped and cold. “Just get lost, Tobias!”Tobias shook his head and slammed his hand against the steering wheel before stomping on the accelerator. The car suddenly sped away, its tires screeching against the road as smoke curled behind it.Scarlett was left standing by the side of the road, trembling from the cold. Suddenly, she clutched her stomach. It felt as though something had pierced he

    Everyone fell silent as they looked at Darius. His posture was effortless yet imposing, his hands tucked into his pockets. The expensive suit he wore only accentuated his strikingly handsome features. There was an authority in his presence that made you instinctively want to step back whenever he walked toward you.Scarlett slowly lifted her gaze, and their eyes met. She hadn’t expected Darius to defend her, especially not in front of so many people. She could feel everyone around them freeze, whispering among themselves but no one daring to interfere.Tobias noticed it as well. His jaw tightened, clearly angered. He was almost ready to rush over and pull Scarlett away from there, but Vernice caught him by the arm.“Don’t go. Don’t drag yourself into this,” she murmured, her tone sugary, her eyes sharp.Tobias closed his eyes, the tension in his jaw plainly visible. But he followed what his secretary told him and stayed out of it.Behind Darius stood his friend Dawn, also ready to def

    Just then, a well-dressed woman, the wife of a prominent businessman, began frantically searching the floor, her jeweled clutch held tightly against her chest.The atmosphere around them immediately changed. Almost everyone there turned to look at one another, whispering and asking what was happening.With so many wealthy people gathered that night, even a simple pair of earrings could be worth millions.Alfonso immediately approached the woman to calm her down. “Do you remember where you last saw them?” he asked seriously.The woman was visibly anxious. “I... I went to the restroom and left them on the sofa for a while. I thought I could get them when I came back, but when I returned, they were gone!”A low murmur swept through the guests. No one could believe that theft could happen in such an upscale, tightly guarded venue.“Those earrings cost me five million!” the woman said bitterly. “Whoever took them is a disgrace! They have no right to mingle with us!”Scarlett shook her head

    Scarlett felt the sudden heat rise in her chest from irritation.How could Devine lie so effortlessly?Darius turned toward Devine. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked genuinely embarrassed. There were so many questions troubling Darius's mind. “Why did you suddenly disappear after that night?”Devine fell silent for a moment, clearly thinking of an excuse. Then she smiled innocently. “I-I was scared... I didn't know who you were back then. I was afraid you'd blame me, or that my parents would find out. I thought it would be safer to keep... quiet.”Darius's voice softened slightly. “You don't have to be afraid. If you ever need anything, just tell me. I'll help however I can.”Devine's eyes lit up at his words. Her lips parted, but she stopped herself.Darius noticed the flicker of doubt in her gaze and frowned slightly. “If there's something on your mind, go ahead and say it.”Her heart thudded against her ribs. She decided to test the waters. “What if... I told you I wanted to
