Janina hurried over and carefully helped the weakened Summer sit up slightly, supporting her back.
Seeing the cuts and bruises on her face and body, Janina's eyes immediately turned red.
"Summer, hang in there. The medics are on their way..." Janina's voice trembled.
She tightened her arms, holding Summer close.
Then she looked up, her icy, piercing gaze fixed on Vincent and Iris.
Vincent instinctively took a step back.
Wasn't that Janina? Julius's wife!
Janina's presence was overwhelming. The cold fury in her eyes as she looked at him and Iris sent a chill down Vincent's spine.
By the time Ava arrived with security, a small crowd had gathered in the hallway.
Summer stirred weakly in Janina's arms.
Her lips, dry and cracked, barely managed to shape the words: “Alan... Vincent has taken Alan.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Summer fell unconscious.
Several paramedics rushed Summer into the VIP lounge for treatment.
Janina made a call, telling Easton to bring Fairchild immediately.
Summer's condition was critical, and she was terrified she wouldn't make it. Fairchild was her only hope for a miracle.
"Ava, they took Alan. And they're the ones who hurt Summer."
Janina stared at Vincent and Iris, wishing she could beat them senseless.
"Keep them here. This is personal. When Summer wakes up, we're settling this today."
Her voice was low, but loud enough for Vincent and Iris to hear.
They might not be afraid of Janina, but they certainly recognized Ava, the titan of the fashion world.
Her gaze swept through the onlookers, finally landing on Vincent and Iris. "You two will not leave until Summer wakes up. I have every reason to press charges for intentional assault."
Vincent and Iris panicked.
Iris, in particular, felt a strange sense of terror. She knew Ava and the international power of Nova Brand. Ava was not someone she could afford to offend.
She had no idea how that bitch Summer had managed to get connected with Ava. Right now, only Vincent could help her.
With tears in her eyes, Iris looked to Vincent for help, her voice a choked whisper. "Vincent..."
Vincent also realized things were going south.
But he still believed he was in the right. No matter who showed up, the fact that Summer had cheated was undeniable.
He reached out and patted Iris's back gently. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
He met Ava's hostile gaze, his back ramrod straight. "Miss Ava, you might not be aware of the full picture. Summer is my wife. She was cheating on me with her lover..."
