Oscar didn’t catch up to Owen. He could only watch as Owen’s car shot out of the villa’s driveway like a loose cannon.

That was just how Owen was–throwing tantrums the moment things didn’t go

his

way.

Oscar stood there frowning, deep in thought. What exactly was Wyatt trying to do?

There was no way Wyatt brought them here just to hash out the truth.

He was never one for peaceful resolutions. Wyatt had always believed in fighting fire with fire, an eye for an eye. If this was truly about standing up for Yunice, could it really be handled with a few words?

Just then, Oscar noticed another car leaving the estate–heading in a completely different direction.

His expression darkened.

Everything that happened here today would make its way to Wyatt’s ears, word for word.

And if this was a test, had he and Owen passed?

Had the villains really paid the price?

Oscar glanced again in the direction Owen had gone.

He had a gut feeling that Wyatt was supporting Yunice behind the scenes. And as the eldest in the family, if he continued to play dumb, then Wyatt would step in himself.

No. He couldn’t let things spiral any further.

Oscar made up his mind and jumped in his car, heading the same way Owen had go

Pavilion Hall.

Wyatt was in the kitchen, plating food with the phone wedged between his shoulder and ear as someone reported to him.

He let out a cold snort. “So there’s still someone in the Saunders family with half a brain.”

“Let him go. Don’t worry about it.”

“If the old man asks, just say I did it.”

He hung up, took the plated food, and carried it to the dining room.

Just as he sat down and was about to call Yunice for dinner, his phone rang again.

Yunice happened to be stepping out of her room, and Wyatt had the call on speaker. She heard a male voice crackle through:

“How long do you plan on keeping her locked away? What’s the matter–worried she’ll fall for me the second she lays eyes on me?”

Yunice didn’t recognize the voice, but from the tone, it was clear the guy was close to Wyatt.

No one else would dare joke around with him like that.

Wyatt, back turned, was arranging plates. “Worried you’re too ugly. Don’t want you scaring my wife.

The voice on the other end clicked his tongue. “Silverline Bay Club. You coming or not? If not, I’m bringing everyone over to your place!”

Before Wyatt could respond, Yunice stepped into his line of sight and glanced at his phone.

Wyatt hung up and asked, “You heard that?”

Yunice played along. “Want me to block the door?”

“If you don’t, they’ll be inside the house in no time.”

Seeing her joking like this, Wyatt raised a brow. “You’re not bothered?”

Yunice asked, “Are you ashamed of your ugly wife?”

Only a man who thought his wife was ugly would refuse to take her out.

They’d been married for over a year, and she’d never really seen his circle of friends.

Wyatt was silent for a beat, then said, “Go change–we’re eating out.”

Yunice’s closet always seemed to have a few new dresses here and there. She picked the one that suited her best.

After all, this was her first time meeting his people. She needed to uphold his reputation.

Before leaving, she even put on a bit of makeup.

But her style leaned cool and understated, so the makeup was light–nothing that drew too much attention.

Wyatt’s reflection appeared behind her in the vanity mirror. “You look amazing. Putting this much effort in for them is already more than they deserve.”

Yunice wasn’t wearing any jewelry, so Wyatt picked out a necklace from her jewelry box and stepped behind her to help her put it on.

She realized then how much he liked dressing her up–like she was some kind of collectible figure. “Are they your friends?” Yunice asked as she probed about the people they were meeting.

“Yeah,” Wyatt replied. “Guys I met back when I was still building my career–basically a bunch of troublemakers.”

Once the necklace was in place, he added, “Don’t worry about them. Just show up and eat.

On the way there, Wyatt gave her a quick rundown of who would be present and what their backgrounds.
