Claim 1/2

Collin felt a growing sense of dread as he watched the scene unfold. He couldn't shake the worry that Wilson's first serious relationship might be jeopardized. That would prove to be a real tragedy for everyone. Wiping the sweat from his brow, Collin discreetly pulled out his phone and texted Wilson.

"Something's wrong! I just saw Yvie at a bar with a young man. It looks like their relationship is more than just friends. I'm risking my life to warn you. Get here fast, or your woman might get stolen."

Meanwhile, back in the villa, Wilson sat on the couch, glancing at his watch with a furrowed brow. It was getting late. Yvette and her classmates should have finished dinner by now, yet he hadn't heard from her.

Noticing his concern, Samuel said, "Mr. Quinn, Ms. Murray probably hasn't seen your messages. Why not give her a call?"noveldrama

Wilson's fingers drummed nervously on the table as he hesitated. He was worried that calling might come off as too clingy.

Watching Wilson's internal struggle, Samuel couldn't help but think how unusual it was to see him so uncertain. This was a man known for his decisiveness, yet he was now at a loss. It seemed that Ms. Murray had complete control over him. Suddenly, Wilson's expression shifted dramatically. His phone was now in his hands. The air around him grew cold as if a chill had settled in the room.

Wilson stared at the message from Collin, his grip tightening on his phone as if he might shatter it. Yvette had the nerve to lie to him. A dangerous air surrounded him, making the atmosphere feel heavy and tense.

Even Samuel, who had been by his side for years, felt a shiver run down his spine at Wilson's unsettling expression.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Wilson ordered, "Get the car ready. We're heading to the newly opened bar now." He was determined to confront the man who had led her to deceive him.

"Right away, Mr. Quinn," Samuel replied, not daring to waste a single second.

Meanwhile, at the bar, Ellen asked, "Where have you been, sweetie?"

She was clearly tipsy, swaying as she walked but still overflowing with excitement. "The party is in full swing! Let's dance!"

Ellen grabbed Yvette and pulled her toward the dance floor, where the energy was electric. Soon, Ellen and Yvette were separated by the chaotic crowd.

Xavier noticed Yvette frowning and reassured her, saying, "Don't worry. This bar belongs to Ellen.

She'll be fine. He stayed close to her side to shield her from the surging crowd.

Yvette wasn't particularly worried about Ellen. She was worried about the others.

Ellen had already drunk quite a bit and was getting tipsy. With her poor drinking habits, Yvette dreaded what kind of trouble might arise.

Ellen stumbled through the crowd, trying to find Yvette. She swayed unsteadily, getting pushed further off course by the throngs of people.
