“Hmph, I knew Henry was shady from the start. Acts all proper, but he’s the worst of the bunch”

“His wife and kid showed up at my place the other day–crying, full–on begging me to save him. I mean, seriously? That clueless woman really thought I’d go head–to–head with the Cooper Group for her man?”

“And then what happened?”

“I told her to go make a scene at the construction site. Stir up public opinion, and someone’s bound to step in.”

The group laughed and pointed at him. “Man, that’s cold. You really told her that? But seriously, you think Wyatt gives a damn about public pressure? I was wondering why we hadn’t heard a word from that mother and son… Wyatt probably already shut them down.”

Yunice wasn’t the only one listening–Victor was too. His expression darkened as the

conversation went on.

He took a sip of juice. Sensing the shift in his mood, Yunice leaned in and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

Victor hadn’t planned to say anything, but he couldn’t hold back. “Yunice, don’t you think Mr. Cooper went too far? Sure, the adults might’ve screwed up, but the kid didn’t do anything.”

Yunice paused, caught off guard. She managed a response. “Look… that’s on the parents. They dragged their kid into it. If you’re going to make a scene with a child in tow, you’ve gotta be ready for whatever comes with it. You can’t expect Wyatt to go easy on them just because there’s a kid involved.”

Victor stared at her, clearly shocked. He hadn’t expected Yunice to take Wyatt’s side.

“Judging people behind their backs–does that make you any better, Mr. Victor?” Wyatt’s voice. came out of nowhere. He had walked up just in time to catch what they were saying.

Victor frowned but didn’t respond.

Yunice was about to speak up and explain, but Wyatt didn’t linger.

Victor stood there with a stiff expression, clearly bothered.

Not long after, he made an excuse and slipped out of the ballroom.

Yunice noticed it right away–Victor wasn’t just upset with Wyatt. He probably thought she was messed up too.

Victor had a lot of good qualities. That was the problem. He’d been too sheltered his whole life.

too naive.

But that kind of thing? A few hard knocks from life had a way of fixing it fast.

Yunice wasn’t about to talk him out of it. Some lessons don’t come from words. Life teaches them the hard way. One hit, and he’ll figure it out.

Wyatt sat at the head table. Yunice was too far away to hear what he was saying, but he had a solid build and was easy on the eyes.
