As we stepped out of the doorway, we ran into Atlas, who hurried over. He quickly took my arm and asked, "What's going on?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
I turned to Ivanna and asked in a hushed tone, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine... It just really hurts!" She held her shoulder, grimacing, "He went all out. It serves him right."
I saw Jared's face darken again. Seizing the moment, I gave Ivanna a gentle push. "Go on, now. Stop twisting it. Go have a proper chat."
Ivanna and Jared had been in a silent conflict. It was clear that both were holding back, making this the perfect opportunity for reconciliation.
Austin rushed forward to express his gratitude to Jared.
After bidding farewell to Ivanna, he asked, "How are you doing? Are you injured? Go to the hospital if you need to. Don't tough it out."
Austin then gave a radiant smile. "Dealing with those guys made me feel a little better!"
Atlas and I drove away without paying attention to the two still standing at the door.
In the car, I asked Atlas, "How’d you get here?"
"I noticed your location had been the same for a while and felt something was off, so I came to check," he explained. "What exactly happened?"
I briefed Atlas on the situation, recounting how young girls had become so audacious lately.
Atlas embraced me and said disapprovingly, "That's just because you're not crazy enough."
I looked at him disdainfully. "As if you've encountered so many wild girls! Have you met women like that? Is that why you're so indifferent?"
