It was evident that Huston had no intention of letting it drag on any longer. He forcefully twisted Ryan's arms, resulting in a crisp, faint sound.
"Crack."
A crisp sound rang out, and Ryan fainted before he could even scream.
His arms were completely dislocated and he was thrown back onto the ground. The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected that Huston, who usually appeared indifferent and aloof, could be so ruthless! He had nearly incapacitated Ryan!
Evelyn curled up in a corner, never once looking up. She tightly closed her eyes, feeling physically unwell and exhausted from the recent shock.
Huston approached Evelyn, and his face was still dark and menacing. His eyes fell upon the red mark on her neck, causing his brows to furrow deeply. Without any regard for her high-heeled shoes, he forcefully pulled her closer and strode out.
As he passed by the others who had attended the gathering, Huston momentarily halted his steps, meeting their terrified gazes, "Apologies for the mess. Marcellus's men will come to clean up later."
With these words, he left, and no one dared to stop him.
Once he was gone, the others who had come together checked on Ryan's condition in the restroom, "President Brown. President Brown."
Ryan's small affair partner was pale with fear and didn't care about anything else. She grabbed her bag and fled the scene.
Luna watched everything happening in front of her. She crossed her arms tightly around herself, seeking some sense of security. In doing so, her fingers brushed against something solid in her pocket.
