The out–of–control whip, propelled by momentum, whipped through the air and lashed squarely across Whitney’s body.

She let out a sharp scream, stumbling back several steps before collapsing to the ground. Her hair was a mess, and her face was filled with terror and pain.

“If there’s a next time, not even the Houston family will be able to protect you,” Lucas said coldly–his voice sharp enough to freeze the air.

Whitney slumped on the ground, pale as a sheet. Her lips trembled, but she couldn’t manage a single word.

Only then did Sloane retract the needle hidden in her ring. If Lucas hadn’t reacted so quickly, Whitney might not have walked away alive.

Lucas gently applied ointment to Sloane’s hand, his movements careful. “The Houston family’s the second most powerful in Stonebridge. Hurting Whitney might cause you trouble.”

Sloane’s expression stayed calm. “Sooner or later, I’ll make sure they realize that messing with me, Sloane, is trouble too.”

She knew full well–if Lucas hadn’t been here today, it wouldn’t have ended so cleanly. Not because she feared the Houston family, but because she still had unfinished business. Plus, she didn’t want to drag Jill into anything.

Lucas knew she could handle herself. He paused and looked at her seriously. “Then go for it.”

Sloane glanced at the hand he’d just bandaged—his technique was smooth and practiced. He clearly wasn’t new to this.

Lucas turned and poured her a glass of water. “The auction’s all set. So far, the feedback’s been good.”

Sloane took the cup with one hand, sipped, and said confidently, “Of course it is.”

Lucas chuckled softly, eyes full of admiration. “Got anything in mind for the next item?”

Sloane tilted her head and gave him a mysterious smile. “I do, but I’m not telling you yet.”

She didn’t like making big promises until something was actually done.

Lucas raised a brow, his smile widening. “Alright. I’ll just wait for the surprise.”

Just then, a noisy commotion came from outside. Jill burst in through the door, with Samson failing to stop her.

She rushed to Sloane, face filled with worry. “Sloane, how’s your hand?”

Sloane raised her already–bandaged hand. “It’s fine now.”

Jill choked up again. “I was scared to death just now. If it weren’t for you, I’d be toast.”

Seeing her crying, Sloane patted her shoulder gently. “It’s over now. Don’t be scared.”

Jill wiped her tears and said angrily, “Whitney went way too far. It was clearly her fault, but she flipped the script like a pro. I heard from my brother she’s vindictive–she might come after you. You need to be careful.”

Sloane could see she was genuinely worried. She smiled. “Have you ever seen anyone actually manage to bully me? If she dares to try, I’m not the least bit afraid.”

She didn’t care about the Houston family. She had no ties, no burdens. Worst–case scenario, she’d just burn them down and walk away.

Lucas noticed the seriousness in her eyes and frowned slightly. Knowing her the way he did, he quickly figured out what she was thinking–and his dislike for Whitney deepened even

more.
