“I’ll give you two options–apologize to me in front of everyone, or walk into the police station and turn yourself in.”

The moment Natalie’s words fell, Zoey’s face twisted in shock. “In your dreams! I won’t do either!”

She spun around quickly, as if to leave.

“Atlas, lock the door. We’re closed for ten minutes.”

“Yes, madam.”

Atlas jumped to his feet and rushed toward the entrance.

Zoey froze at the order, disbelief flashing in her eyes. She turned back, staring at Natalie as if she couldn’t believe what she’d just heard.

“What are you trying to do? I’m warning you–if you dare lay a hand on me, I’ll never let you get away with it!”

Her voice was full of suspicion; her face was dark with hostility.

At that moment, James took in the scene. Just as Atlas neared the door, James spun around and hurried toward the curb where the Maybach was parked.

He spotted Marcus leaning casually against the car, phone pressed to his ear. With his back turned to the clinic, Marcus hadn’t seen what just happened inside.

“Mr. Collins…”

Even though he was on a call, James approached quickly, lowering his voice.

Marcus‘ brow furrowed. He lifted his long fingers, covering the mouthpiece. “What is it?”

James leaned in, speaking in a hushed rush. “There’s trouble with Ms. Foster.”

The moment Marcus heard Natalie’s name, he glanced back toward the clinic. The door was shut tight. He muttered into the phone, “Something came up, we’ll talk later,” then hung up.

“What happened?”

Sliding his phone into his pocket, Marcus raised his sharp gaze to James.

“Zoey showed up with a pot of herbal medicine. She was angry about Ms. Foster slapping Victoria, and she threw the medicine at her. Ms. Foster demanded she apologize, or she’d call the police. Zocy refused, and now they’re face–to–face inside.”

James kept it short, relaying the essentials.

Marcus‘ expression turned cold in an instant.

The air around him seemed to drop, heavy and suffocating.

He glanced at the closed clinic door again, but made no move to rush inside.

“Mr. Collins, shouldn’t we step in? What if Ms. Zoey tries something-”

Marcus cut him off flatly. “If she shut the door, that means she doesn’t want anyone seeing what happens inside. We’ll wait and see.”

“Understood.”

James quickly opened the car door.

Marcus slid into the seat, rolling down the window facing the clinic. His gaze locked on the entrance, unblinking.

Inside the clinic, Natalie sat on the sofa, her expression unreadable as she looked at Zoey.

Her voice was cold, almost detached. “I don’t plan on doing anything to you. I just want to have a little talk about the clinic.”

“Fine. If you want to talk, I’ll talk.”

But as Zoey made to sit down, Natalie cut her off without hesitation. “I don’t want to chat. I want you to choose.”

Her voice rose, sharp enough to shake not just Zoey, but Atlas as well.

He had been here for days, yet it was the first time he’d seen her lose her temper.

Even when the clinic incident first happened, she hadn’t been this fired up.

“I told you, I’m not choosing either!”

Zoey halted mid–step, her presence radiating menace.

Her fists clenched tight, knuckles whitening with anger.
