Not far ahead, Derrick had an arm wrapped around a woman with a striking figure as they walked toward us. They moved intimately-her arm locked around his, her head leaning against his shoulder now and then.

This was the first time we’d seen him since he’d ut ties with the Ortegas and openly turned his back on us.

It hadn’t even been half a month, but his entire aura had changed. The old softness was gone -replaced by a deliberately slick, greasy charm. Even his gaze looked calculating and small.

Josh’s brows snapped into a frown. He opened his mouth to explode, but Alan reached out first and pressed a hand down on his arm, lowering his voice. “Forget it. Don’t bother with him. Let’s go.”

Josh puffed his cheeks, still furious. “He’s sinking himself on purpose! Just to get resources, he’s actually becoming some rich girl’s live-in husband-he’s humiliating Eclipse Pack!”

We all knew Derrick’s situation. To erase the stain of being labeled an illegitimate son and to secure backing, he’d latched onto a well-connected woman and agreed to marry into her family.

Alan patted Josh’s back lightly. “His business has nothing to do with the Ortegas anymore. Don’t waste anger on him. And we don’t need to interfere.”

Patrick pulled back the cold look he’d been aiming at Derrick and checked the time. “It’s late. Go rest. Samson-take Amanda home. The three of us will go together.”

I gave a slight nod. “Mm.”

Alan, Patrick, and Josh turned toward the exit. Before leaving, Josh still shot Derrick one last vicious glare. I stayed where I was, watching the backs disappear at the doors.

Derrick’s POV:

I’d seen Samson and the others a long time ago, tightened my arm around Yara’s waist and walked straight toward them.

My eyes locked on Amanda beside Samson immediately. I stared for a full three seconds before I finally pulled my gaze away and spoke to Samson with deliberate provocation, “Long time no see, Mr. Ortega. You really need to dodge me that badly?”

Yara Jimenez was a Beta from Windspire Pack. Her family had real influence there. The only

reason I’d gotten a path to resources was because she’d introduced me. Right now, she leaned against me sweetly, studying Amanda with curious eyes, but she didn’t speak.

Samson’s face didn’t move at all. His tone was so flat it sounded like he was talking about the weather. “You’re imagining things. Everyone’s tired. We’re heading back.”

I curled my lips, letting a loaded smile show. My gaze traveled between Amanda and Samson, then I pulled Yara tighter and introduced her. “We were family once, weren’t we? If we’re meeting, we should at least do introductions. This is fiancée-Yara.”

Samson didn’t even give me the courtesy of a glance. He turned his head toward Amanda instead, his tone softening slightly. “Wait here. I’ll bring the car around.”

Amanda nodded lightly, not sparing me a single look.

After that, Samson turned and walked off toward the parking area-completely ignoring the awkward silence hanging over Yara and I.

Yara didn’t care at all. Instead, she lifted a hand and patted my back gently, voice soothing. “Derrick, don’t be angry. People like that aren’t worth it. I’ll stay with you.”

I forced a stiff smile, bent down, and pressed a light kiss to her forehead. “Good girl. Go wait in the car. I’ll be right there.”

Yara smiled, answered with a soft “Mm,” waved a me, and walked out with an easy, bright

step.

Once she was gone, the lobby was left with just me and Amanda…
