Adela had no intention of causing drama or getting involved. She glanced up once, then kept her head down, scrolling through her phone. But a shadow fell across her table, and she looked up instinctively.

Two pretty girls stood there—one with a typical influencer face, the other with a soft oval-shaped face. Both were smiling sweetly at her.

“Hi, remember us? We chatted with you here last time.”

Adela did remember. These two were gossiping about her boyfriend back then. The influencer-looking one had mistakenly assumed she and Zach were close.

She nodded politely and smiled. “Yeah, I remember. What a coincidence running into you again.”

The girl waved dismissively. “Not a coincidence at all. We hang out here all the time. What about you—waiting for someone?”

Adela replied, “Mm-hmm, waiting for my friend.”

The two clearly wanted to sit at her table, but seeing she was expecting someone, they settled for the table behind her.

Their arrival caught Mia’s attention. Before Adela could reop

    Robbie pulled out his phone, made a call, and instructed his teammate to go get the girl from Bard. He then casually sat down next to Helen, asking with a relaxed tone, “Are those two really your friends?”He hadn’t seen their names in the intel he got.Adela pursed her lips and stayed silent. Robbie didn’t seem to be expecting an answer anyway. He just tilted his head back and looked toward Zach and Carl, who stood some distance away.Their eyes locked for a second—Zach was the first to offer a polite smile, like saying hello.Robbie knew who Zach was, though their teams had never raced. Zach kept a low profile and was more into his band.Robbie assumed the two men had tagged along with Mia, so he didn’t pay them much mind.He nodded to them in greeting and then turned his attention back to the track.Bard was chain-smoking, his face grim. The ambulance arrived quickly, and only after his injured teammates were loaded up did he turn and stare at Robbie.His eyes were bloodshot, the m

    Robbie’s words left everyone speechless.The people around him looked at him with blank stares—did this guy have a screw loose?Bard sneered and said nothing more, simply signaled for his team to arrange the race.Adela turned to Robbie, asking with concern, “Will this get you into trouble?”He had just put his cap back on when he replied calmly, “It won’t. I don’t take him seriously. And by the way, I meant what I said earlier—if you ever need a bodyguard, I’d like to be your first pick.”Then he casually pulled out his phone and made a call.Adela stared blankly at his back and asked Helen in a low voice, “What did he mean by that? Is bodyguard just another word for 'hired muscle'?”Helen gave Robbie a fierce glare before turning to Adela with a serious tone, “Adela, that man’s trying to steal my job. You must firmly reject him!”Adela almost burst out laughing and quickly nodded. No way she’d switch—Helen was assigned by Layson himself. Not to mention, Helen could go shopping with

    Bard puffed on his cigarette, saying nothing, but the look in his eyes darkened—his gaze toward Adela now brimmed with hostility.Adela frowned as she looked back at him. Maybe it was because of what the man in the duckbill cap had said about Bard being just a jumped-up clown, but now the more she looked at him, the more irritated she felt.Susan’s shrill voice yanked Adela’s attention back. She stood with a mocking sneer, pointing at the tear-streaked influencer-looking girl crouched on the grass. “What now? Is this one your friend too? Are you gonna play hero again, sticking your nose into other people’s business for her?”Adela didn’t reply. Her eyes shifted toward the girl on the grass—her cheek was swollen, makeup smudged, and when she met Adela’s eyes, there was nothing but fear and pleading in hers.Adela hesitated. She barely knew these girls—she’d just added them on social media during the ride here. She didn’t even remember their names. But to stand by and do nothing? Knowin

    That voice sounded oddly familiar. Adela’s brows furrowed the moment she heard the vicious words. “What a nasty woman. Running into someone like that… she’s just unlucky.”Helen paused and leaned closer to remind her, “Adela, you actually do know her.”“What? No way I’d know someone like that!” Adela stared blankly at the woman’s back.“You slapped her yesterday afternoon.”Adela: “…”Was it too late to turn around and walk away?The group stood there watching. Adela didn’t dare approach but glanced at the man with the duckbill cap beside her. “That woman’s your former client. Why don’t you go resolve this?”It’d probably be easy for him.“Our business ended yesterday afternoon. As of today, she’s just a stranger to me.” The man casually tucked his hands in his pockets, glancing lazily toward the commotion.Then he added in a low, even tone, “It’s not a big deal. The key is getting Bard to back off. And that’s actually quite simple.”Though his voice was quiet, it carried clearly to t

    Adela had absolutely zero impression of the name Bard.She turned to Helen and asked, “Have you heard of Bard?”Helen thought for a moment and shook her head. “I’ve heard the name, but I don’t know him personally.”She had only been back in New York for six months—there were too many rich and powerful people in the city for her to keep track of them all.Helen didn’t know, and Cici certainly wouldn’t either. Adela didn’t want to ask the man in the duckbill cap again, so she turned back to the crying girl.Her tone was a little helpless. “I really don’t know this person. How about you take us to have a look? I’ll try to talk to him.”The girl nodded while sobbing. The man with the duckbill cap eventually stood up and followed after a few steps.Adela couldn’t bear seeing the girl cry so miserably and handed her a pack of tissues. “What did your friend do to offend him? Can’t you call the police?”The girl’s face was ghostly pale. “We can’t. My friend made a terrible mistake. Her boyfri

    The girls quickly averted their eyes, pretending not to stare—but their side glances followed the group intently.When the four people finished ordering, one girl at the round table suddenly stood up.“I wanna go check them out. Aren’t you curious who that pretty girl is?”“I’m in too. When did Mia start racing? Let’s go.”Two spoke, and the rest followed—soon the entire table had left to chase the excitement at the track.Their chatter faded as the café quieted again, making their previous conversations seem especially loud.Zach glanced at Carl when he heard Mia’s name.Carl’s expression didn’t change as he continued browsing the menu.When the waiter came over, Zach twirled his sunglasses and casually asked,“Mia was here just now?”The staff were extremely familiar with these rich second-gens—after all, they were regulars.“Yes, sir. Mia stopped by, and so did those two beautiful girls you’ve treated before. They left together.”Zach’s fingers paused on his sunglasses. His eyes na
