She frowned, watching the direction they were heading, and asked Sebastian with a hint of confusion, “What exactly are they to? That guy in front looked like he was about to jump into the sea.”
Sebastian took her hand, his gaze following the group toward the villas, a flicker of amusement crossing his eyes. “If I’m not mistaken, they’re heading to Colin’s place to settle the bill for those wines.”
He tugged her gently back the way they came, a rare note of playfulness in his voice. “Since this whole show started because of we might as well go watch the finale. It’s bound to be entertaining.
Over at the beachfront villa, Colin was still floating on cloud nine, basking in the glow of his successful confession the night before Even the waves outside seemed to be winking at him.
He’d barely opened his eyes before grabbing his phone, a goofy grin plastered across his face, and firing off a syrupy message to Audrey, “Had breakfast yet?”
Within seconds, his phone buzzed with her lazy reply. “Yeah. About to head over to hang out with Riley.”
Colin grinned, imagining her just rolling out of bed, looking soft and adorable. He was about to type another response when a second message from Audrey popped up, “Colin, there are a bunch of people lurking outside your villa. They look shady”
Huh?
His smile stiffened. He got up, walked to the second-floor window, and parted the curtain just enough to peer out. Sure enough, there they were Simon and his crew, pacing nervously outside his gate.
Simon was pacing back and forth, his face a mask of anxiety and indecision. After being nudged and prodded by his companions he finally steeled himself and pressed the doorbell.
Colin watched their pathetic display, and a cold, knowing smile curled at the corner of his mouth. They must have received Daniels special delivery.
The memory of these clowns strutting around the night before fueled his contempt. He couldn’t ever be bothered mopen the door. Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed security directly.
“Hello? There are some suspicious people lingering outside my villa, disturbing my privacy. Please send someone remové (hui
The head of security responded with utmost urgency. “Yes, Mr. Peterson. We’ll be there immediately.”

Audrey, clearly amused by the commotion, called out teasingly, “Colin, you haven’t even stepped out yet, and you’ve already people banging on your door!”
Hearing her voice, Colin finally strolled out of the villa at a leisurely pace. He descended the steps, his gaze icy as he swept over Simon’s purpling face, and spoke with undisguised irritation, “I already told security to clear you out. Why are you still here?”
Simon, who had been howling desperately, froze when he saw Audrey pop her head out from the even grander villa next door. A then, he saw the man he’d been begging, Colin, emerge from the villa in front of him.
Simon’s brain short-circuited. He stared at Audrey and Colin, his mind struggling to connect the dots.
These two were friends with those people they’d mocked earlier-the woman who called herself Riley Oswald and her boyfriend Were they staying in the most exclusive villas on the island?
Which meant… Riley and her boyfriend were also residents here?
So the whole time, they had been the ones showing off on someone else’s turf, completely unaware of who they were dealing
with?
The realization hit Simon like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and humiliated.
