Adela froze for a second when she saw Cici rush over with a pale face. Her hand was ice-cold, and Adela immediately frowned. “What happened to you? You’re still shaking.”

Cici, ever the lady, uncharacteristically cursed out loud, then deadpanned, “For a moment, I thought I was going to die. I even had my final words ready.”

Robbie, hearing the word "final words," let out an amused chuckle. “I give a pretty girl a lift out of kindness, and this is the thanks I get?”

Cici didn’t even look at him. She walked alongside Adela, already teetering on the edge of rage. Robbie casually trailed a few steps behind, hands in his pockets, as carefree as ever.

The four of them arrived at the entrance where they came face-to-face with Dexter and Andrew. The six of them created an invisible wall of tension between their group and everyone else.

Nearby girls glanced over in stunned silence. No one dared to speak, as if any sound would shatter the strange atmosphere.

It was obvious—they weren’t from the

    As soon as Mia spoke, Adela couldn’t help but internally snark: There was a crash, alright—just not with him, but with his brother, and it was Cici’s car that got hit.She glanced sideways at Cici, whose face was growing visibly paler. Adela sighed inwardly.Robbie, lounging lazily against the back of the couch, looked amused. “What, did you come to the racetrack today just to see me?”Adela blinked and looked at Mia. Her expression didn’t even shift—just a faint frown, as if she didn’t take his words seriously at all. She scoffed coldly, “That’s a joke. You think me showing up at a banquet is for you? Face is a good thing, Robbie—you should keep some for yourself.”That line had the girls with Mia glancing back and forth in confusion and surprise. It was their first time seeing this proud heiress gritting her teeth while speaking to a man.Robbie’s aura was so cold and intense that the girls didn’t dare look at him for more than a second before their hearts started pounding. One girl

    Diana was a little surprised. Discussing business didn’t necessarily need to happen at a social event like this—it was probably just an excuse for Layson to take his girlfriend out. Still, she was happy about it, and immediately whispered to Richard to let it go.With Layson around, Richard didn’t force Adela to stay behind.Just as they were heading toward the front door, Dexter came down from upstairs. The moment Richard saw him still dawdling at home, his face truly darkened.“You’re a grown man. Do you really need that much time to get ready? Even Marah left before you.”Dexter bit back his irritation and said nothing, treating the words like air, then followed Adela and Layson out.In the garage, Adela seemed to think of something and smiled mischievously. “Dexter, have you seen the car Richard picked out for you?”“Not yet. Why? Is it something ridiculous?” Dexter had always rejected anything from Richard. He rarely even came to the garage, but since Andrew was picking up Sarah

    As soon as they sat down, Gina opened with, “Adela, Cici, are you free tomorrow evening? My family is hosting a banquet, and I’d like to invite you both.”The two girls were too stunned by Zach’s unexpected presence to even register what Gina had just said.After waiting a few minutes without hearing a response, Gina’s expression grew a little uncertain. “Is it because you’ve become friends with Mia... that you don’t want anything to do with me anymore?”Her face carried an unusual look of disappointment, and both Adela and Cici felt a small tug of guilt. What is this now, a fallout between friends turning into picking sides?“Oh, don’t overthink it,” Adela said after a beat, shifting her gaze from Gina’s perfectly made-up face to Zach’s ridiculously handsome profile, a wave of questions flooding her mind. “You came all this way just to invite us?”Gina nodded. “You’re honestly two of the few people I still feel I can talk to. My uncle told me I could invite whoever I wanted, and you

    Layson glanced at the little woman beside him, amusement in his eyes, but said nothing. These kinds of events were rarely his thing—unless they involved business.Back at the Norman estate, they saw Ralph sitting beside his grandfather. Before Adela could say anything, the little one came running over.“Mommy, can I come to your room tonight? We haven’t finished the puzzle from last time!”She thought for a moment before remembering the masterpiece puzzle they started last week.“Sure, we’ll finish it tonight.”Hearing that, Ralph grinned from ear to ear. He wanted to follow Adela upstairs, but then Richard called for him, and the boy instantly forgot his plans, scurrying back with his short legs.Adela watched Ralph’s tiny figure fade into the living room, not moving until Layson’s warm palm wrapped around her waist, gently guiding her upstairs to change clothes.“What is it?” he asked, thinking she might be tired after seeing her distracted.She shook her head. “It’s nothing.

    “The boss of Nightfall.”That identity stunned Adela, Cici, and Mia for quite a while. No wonder the security guards looked so troubled the first time Cici had asked them for help—turns out the man in front of them was their boss.Layson picked out a few dishes for Adela and gave her a glance, signaling her to eat quickly. Adela obediently picked up her chopsticks and began chewing absentmindedly.She handled the surprise better than Mia, who had forgotten to even move her utensils—just staring at Mr. Garcia in disbelief. She’d been to Nightfall so many times and had never once heard who the mysterious boss was. Rumors only said it was someone from the underworld, with a background so deep even the Walton family had to maintain good relations.That connection ensured Mia could come and go at Nightfall freely, never having to worry about being drugged or dragged off like other unfortunate socialites.Cici leaned in and whispered to Adela, “No wonder he gave us such a VIP card.”Adela n
