"Ah!" Sydney let out a shriek, immediately crossing her arms over her chest to cover herself.
She shot Sarah a furious glare, her face burning with humiliation. Then, she turned to Benjamin, looking utterly
flustered. "I-1 need to go to the restroom."
She had barely taken two steps before twisting her ankle, nearly collapsing to the floor.
Benjamin reacted quickly, grabbing her just in time.
"Here, wear this." He shrugged off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
Sydney practically melted into his arms, sneaking a glance at Sarah as if embarrassed. But beneath her
expression, there was a glint of something cold and calculating.
"Benji, I'll go fix myself up. You stay here and keep Sarah company, alright?" Her voice was delicate, laced with
hidden meaning.
Benjamin's gaze flickered darkly. "Alright, go on then."
The moment the door clicked shut, Sarah calmly took a sip of tea.
Benjamin wasted no time.
He moved closer, his fingers deliberately brushing against her hand. “Sarah, you're a smart woman. You must
know what your aunt is trying to do here." Sarah let out a cold laugh. "Oh? And what exactly is she trying to do?"
Benjamin smirked. "She wants us to be together. You can't be that oblivious."
Sarah's lips curled in mock amusement. "I'll make sure to have a chat with my aunt then."
Benjamin's eyes gleamed. "What's there to discuss? Why don't we get to know each other first?" He leaned in
closer, reaching for her arm.
"Don't touch me." Sarah instantly recoiled, disgust flashing across her face.
Benjamin's expression darkened, and his grip on her wrist tightened.
"Don't act so high and mighty," he sneered. "A divorced woman like you should be grateful that a man likeis

Sarah yanked her hand free, her voice ice-cold. "Get lost."
Benjamin's face twisted in anger.
He took a step closer, forcing her against the edge of the couch. "You dare tellto get lost? You little-"
He lunged at her.
The room was completely soundproofed. No matter how much noise she made, no one outside would hear.
But just as he reached for her-
A piercing scream rang out.
Outside the private box, several waitstaff heard the commotion.
But none of them moved.
The manager merely cast a glance at the door, expression cold. "Get back to work. Don't just stand there."
Without hesitation, the staff scattered.
Inside the room, Sarah stood frozen, her breath unsteady.
On the floor, Benjamin groaned in pain, completely knocked down.
Standing in front of her-blocking her like a shield-was Zachary.
Both of them spoke at the stime.
"What are you doing here?"
"You're here?"
Zachary's sharp gaze dropped to Benjamin, his voice laced with disdain. "Who the hell is this?"
Sarah's expression was filled with disgust. "Sguy from the White family." Zachary scoffed. "Never heard of
them."
The White family was nothing significant in East Coast. It wasn't surprising that he had never even bothered to
acknowledge their existence.
Zachary's gaze was intense, locked onto Sarah as if he were trying to etch every detail of her into his memory.
It had been too long since he last saw her.
But before either of them could say another word, a voice called out from outside
-hurried, anxious, yet laced with something almost theatrical.
"Oh my! Sarah, are you okay?"
The door burst open before Sarah could respond.
Sydney rushed in, her face lit with exaggerated joy, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Sarah, I'm back!"
Sarah frowned slightly, glancing behind her. Zachary took a subtle step into the shadows, hiding from view.
Sydney's smile wavered when she realized something was off.
Her eyes flickered past Sarah-then froze when she spotted Benjamin sprawled on the floor.
"Y-you... why aren't you hurt?" Her voice faltered, the forced cheerfulness cracking.
Then she saw Benjamin-unconscious.
"W-what happened to him?"

Sydney flinched. "W-what are you saying, Sarah? | was just worried about you! What happened to Benji?"
She crouched beside Benjamin, putting on a performance of concern.
Sarah let out a sharp, mocking laugh.
"Oh, he was just BUSY peursbrhe

Sydney's expression stiffened.
"You expectto believe that?" she demanded. "Benji would never be so clumsy did you hit him?"
Sarah raised an eyebrow. "Why? If | did, what would you do about it?”

His expression was unreadable.
But in his eyes, something dark flickered-dangerous, cold, and unmistakably protective.
