771 /789

Hearing that, Harris froze for a split second and instinctively glanced over at Daniel.

Daniel shot him a quick look but kept every thought hidden behind a blank expression.

Harris dragged his gaze back toward Vincent and answered, "Got it."

The conversation could've ended right there, yet Vincent cut in out of nowhere. "Since you understand, call her properly again."

Harris' features tightened with discomfort, voice soft and pleading. "Vincent, it's my birthday tonight. Can we just sit down first?"

Vincent acted as if he hadn't heard a single word, barking sharply, "Say it."

His demand stripped Harris of all dignity, forcing him into an awkward spot right in front of everyone.

Before Harris could respond, Daniel slammed his chair back and shot to his feet, face dark with anger. "Vincent, what the hell is this? If you've got a problem with me, say it straight instead of snapping at him. It's his birthday for crying out loud."

Vincent twisted around to face him, cold and unyielding. "Yeah, I do have an issue with you. So why don't you drop dead?"

Daniel slammed his wineglass to the floor. At the same time, he raised his hand and pointed viciously at Vincent. "Vincent, don't push it."

Vincent let out a cold chuckle. "Don't push it? Where were you when everyone was pestering her? You didn't utter a single word in her defense."

Daniel's eyes darted nervously toward Sabrina for a split second before rushing to defend himself. "I was gonna explain. I just didn't get the chance. You guys walked in right then."

Vincent's smirk sharpened with derision. "Were you actually waiting for a chance to explain, or were you never planning to speak up at all?"

Irritation flared in Daniel's chest, his volume rising sharply. "What exactly are you trying to imply?"

Vincent lifted one hand, spared a quick glance at Sabrina, then pulled her clean into his arms in one smooth motion.

He turned back toward Daniel, his stare icy and cutting, every syllable dripping with contempt. "This is exactly what I mean."

Daniel didn't have time to get a word in edgewise before Vincent spoke again. "You don't even deserve to stand in the same room as her anymore. You're nowhere near good enough."
