‘Did I just hear that right?’ Thalia thought, her mind spinning.

‘The leader of the second biggest mercenary group overseas, a ten-star threat, a villain who’s done every evil under the sun, is calling me immoral? Seriously?’
‘Guess he has some standards, just not a lot, huh?’
Thalia couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Quinn’s eyes widened just a bit. “Why are you laughing? Do you really think what I said is funny? Man, you really have no manners!”
Thalia quickly waved her hands. “No, no, you’re absolutely right. I’ll keep my distance from him.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Darion slipped his arm around her shoulders and planted a kiss right on her cheek.
Darion gave Quinn a cool glance. “She’s my date. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to interfere?”
“You…” Quinn blurted out, pointing at Darion.
“I knew it! You’re totally no good! I’m going to tell your wife you betrayed her. You’re cheating on her!”
Darion’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Go ahead.”
Then Darion looked right at Thalia, a playful smirk on his face. “Uh-oh, my wife’s totally gonna find out about you. Scared yet?”
Thalia just stared at him, speechless.
‘Who even wants to play along with his dumb games?’ Thalia thought.
But honestly, seeing Quinn freak out like that was actually kind of hilarious.
Quinn was really shaken up. Just a while ago, Darion had been willing to make a deal with him for his wife’s sake.
But now, he was messing around behind his wife’s back and didn’t even look the slightest bit guilty.
Quinn just moved over to keep drinking, deciding he’d better stay away from this jerk from now on.
As for finding the girl he needed for his first night, he’d just have to figure it out himself.
The atmosphere in the private room was getting more and more lively, but Thalia’s gaze kept drifting to
the door.
After about an hour, the door finally opened, and a completely average-looking guy walked in.
He wore thick black frames, and as soon as he stepped inside, he scanned the room. When he didn’t spot

the person he was looking for, he turned to head out.
But before he knew it, two bodyguards had materialized behind him.
He whipped around and saw the party crowd all getting up and filing out of the private room.
Only a handful of people remained on the couch.

“Mr. Russell, you came all the way to Oakwood without letting me know? I could’ve given you a proper welcome,” Darion said coolly, his eyes glinting with amusement as he watched the man by the door.
Harvey Russell looked wary. “Matthew Evans was the one I was supposed to meet. Why are you here instead?”
“I sent Matthew overseas to take care of some business, so I came in his place,” Darion replied. “You don’t look too thrilled to see me.”
Harvey pushed up his glasses. “Our company doesn’t do business with the Blackburn Group. I’m not sure why you wanted to see me, Mr. Blackburn.”
“We can always talk about working together,” Darion said, nodding toward the couch. “Come on, Mr. Russell, have a seat. Let’s take our time and talk it through.”
Quinn let out a snort. “I remember you. You’re really bad news.”
Harvey looked at him, confused. “And you are?”
Quinn propped his feet up on the coffee table. “You’re not even worthy of knowing who I am.”
Harvey could feel the intense pressure coming off Quinn, and a chill ran down his spine.
