Gaellard had already caught every single glance Rafael snuck toward Emma.

If he couldn’t read intentions like that clear as day by now, all those years he’d spent watching people would’ve meant nothing.

A reply from Corvin popped up on his device almost instantly.

Corvin had already gone through the video and photo Gaellard sent over.

“Oh, my goodness, that poor guy,” Corvin typed. “Lange sounds absolutely terrible.”

“Gaellard, don’t just sit there watching this unfold like some show. Go help the poor guy out.”

Gaellard stared at the screen. That was the takeaway here?

What exactly was going on inside Corvin’s head?

“You actually feel sorry for him?” Gaellard typed back.

“Yeah, of course I do!” Corvin fired back instantly. “Look at the state he’s in. He got beaten up so badly, it’s heartbreaking just watching it.”

“I’m sure he never stole anything from Lange. Tell him my lab’s hiring right now. If he wants, he can come work for me.”

Gaellard stared at his screen, speechless.

At this rate, even Andre’s frozen brain looked sharper by comparison.

“You seriously can’t tell he’s putting on an act?” Gaellard typed/

“An act?” Corvin repeated.

Sitting in his lab chair, Corvin ran through the video two more times, studying every frame carefully, and the more he watched, the more convinced he became that this poor guy deserved every bit of sympathy.

He couldn’t spot a single trace of performance in it.

After thinking it over, he decided to create a group chat.

Since this had nothing to do with Emma directly, he figured she wouldn’t mind if he brought the others in on it.

Corvin quickly added every male in the household to the chat.

Then he forwarded the video Gaellard had sent him straight into the group.

Corvin tagged everyone. “This is the video Gaellard sent me. He’s saying this poor guy getting beaten up in it is faking the whole thing. I genuinely can’t tell. Can any of you?”

Alaric typed back, “Yeah, his acting’s actually pretty solid.”

Lucien typed, “Still not as good as Malrik’s.”

Marcus agreed.

So did Drake.

So did Edric.

Kieran texted, “Wait, did Emma actually fall for this guy?”

Calum texted, “No way. Emy’s taste is way better than that.”

Jim said nothing.

Malrik protested, “Don’t you dare compare that to me.”

Corvin sat there completely baffled.

“How can you all tell?” he typed.

Alaric typed, “How do I even explain this…”

Lucien typed, “It’s a feeling, honestly.”

Kieran texted, “Exactly!”

Marcus agreed.

Drake agreed.

Jim agreed.

Calum added, “Just make sure he stays far away from Emy.”

He was, in fact, somewhere near the Executive Department banquet hall right now.

But after everything that had happened in the group chat earlier that day, he hadn’t dared show his face near Emma yet.

He worried the sight of him would just drag her right back into that morning’s embarrassment.

Malrik texted, “A genuinely broken little soul, when he cries, makes you want to hand over your own life just to make the pain stop.”

“But that thing in the video? Every single tear falls at exactly the angle needed to catch the light on that little mark by his eye. Even the way his collar tears open feels calculated, like he’s terrified Emma might miss his collarbone.”

“A cheap little schemer like that isn’t even fit to lick my shoes.”

Corvin was speechless.

“So that’s what that was? The social world is so complicated. I think I’ll just stick to my lab and my mechs from now on.”

Edric texted, “Good boy. Learn your lesson. Try not to fall for stuff like that so easily next time.”

Inside lounge number three, cold white light poured down from above, sealing the room off from the noise and chaos still buzzing4

through the banquet hall outside.

Silas sat beside Emma, watching Rafael’s pale, drawn face across the room, a flicker of dry amusement crossing his eyes.

“Consul Hamblin, I’m telling you, none of this is my fault,” Lange burst out, unable to hold back any longer. “He’s the one who stole my storage button, I know it. The security footage has to show it.”

The head of the Technical Support team stepped forward immediately and puiled up a holographic projection.

“Reporting, sir. We pulled the hallway footage. Unfortunately, the exact spot where the two collided sat in a lighting blind spot. The footage only captures the collision itself. We can’t get a clear view of Rafael’s hands during the moment of contact.”

Rafael kept his head bowed, his long silver lashes hiding the flicker of mockery in his eyes.

Just as he’d predicted, they had nothing.

As for the storage button itself, he’d already ditched it on someone else entirely.

That flashy, useless piece of junk had never interested him in the first place.

Even if Silas and his people managed to track down where the button ended up, there’d be no way to prove he’d ever touched it.
