The air inside the car dropped close to freezing, and Zane sat stiff, sweating through his shirt.

“Mr. L-” He started carefully, but his voice trailed off.

Sweat was soaking through the back of his shirt.

Finn’s jaw was tight. After a long silence, he lowered his lashes and rubbed at his temple with clear irritation.

“Tell them to call Abel again. Push him harder.”

His tone carried a sharp edge, almost vengeful.

Zane wiped his forehead and hurried out to make the call. His mind replayed the clash he had just witnessed between Abel and Finn.

Both men carried enough weight to shake the outside world, yet in the car they bickered like boys bragging on a schoolyard.

But that was something Zane would never dare to say out loud.

He shrank in fear. He stepped out of the car with his phone.

Finn straightened his suit and stepped out from the car. Dressed in a deep navy suit with a gold–threaded tie, he looked like an old Euron noble, refined and imposing.

Meanwhile, Abel had gone looking for Tess. He had just hung up on another annoying phone call and now searched frantically, as if she were the cure for his frustration.

Luckily, her bright magenta dress stood out in the crowd.

Abel jogged toward her, but Finn reached Tess first.

“You haven’t had breakfast?” Finn asked.

He had actually arrived early but stayed in the car, watching Tess and Abel walk straight to the

dessert table.

“I have

my chef here. He can make you some grits,” Finn added in a low voice, his eyes soft with concern.

The newly divorced couple standing together again instantly caught the press’s attention.

Reporters lit up and turned their cameras on them, snapping shot after shot.

“No,” Tess replied firmly.

She stepped back, putting space between them.

The scent she carried slipped away. Finn’s gaze dimmed for a moment.

He was about to ask, “Do you really want to push me away like this?” But Abel showed up suddenly and caught Tess by the hand.

“I heard Henry brought back the funeral workers who cremated Shannon more than ten years ago.” Abel said quickly. “He even called in the doctors and nurses who treated her. Come with me–I’ll show you.”

His eyes locked on hers, his voice laced with urgency.

Tess could sense something off in the air.

To her left stood Abel. To her right, Finn. The three of them formed a triangle around her, all staring directly at her.

The tension made Tess uncomfortable.

Raven shook his head, muttering under his breath about the two men. Lyra stayed calmer, her eyes shifting over the group as if ready to step in and rescue Tess from the awkward standoff.

“Ms. Tess, finally we meet.”

A clear, firm male voice broke the silence.

Tess turned toward it. Connor and Marc walked in together. Connor wore a sharp white suit, while Marc was dressed in a bold, flashy purple robe,

Connor’s arrival felt like a breeze rolling in.

Tess instantly relaxed. But the relief didn’t last–Marc rushed forward so suddenly that she almost stumbled.

Abel caught him just in time.

Marc, held back, gave him a wounded look. Irritated, he forced his feelings down and slid in close beside Tess.
