So it turned out Richard Johnson collapsed just from being overworked.

When he finally came to and saw Damien Taylor standing there too, he immediately struggled

to sit up with a big grin on his face. “Mr. Taylor, what brings you here?”

“Mr. Taylor came with me,” Amelia Johnson explained.

Hearing that, Richard was all smiles, already imagining Damien as his future son–in–law. Daughter bringing her boyfriend to visit her dad in the hospital–couldn’t get more obvious.

Seizing the opportunity, Richard excitedly pitched his idea to Damien about a joint project to develop some new land. The man was trying everything to talk Damien into it.

“…Mr. Taylor, you gotta trust me, that land’s got huge potential.”

Amelia glanced at Damien, a bit sorry for him–because honestly, her dad had been going on like an infomercial, nonstop. And Damien? Face calm as ever, patiently helping Richard weigh

the pros and cons, practically giving him a business seminar.

If it had been her, she’d tune out in ten seconds, maybe even knock Richard out to shut him

But she knew Damien was doing it all for her. That quiet patience? All because of her. And

that thought really melted her heart.

It wasn’t until they’d been talking for well over an hour that Richard finally seemed

enlightened, nodding along like he just cracked the Da Vinci code. “Yes, yes, you’re right…

Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Gotta think this over some more.”

Throughout the whole talk, Richard barely even looked Ethan Collins‘ way.

That really got under Ethan’s skin–his expression just tanked. It felt like Damien was stomping him into the ground, and he didn’t even have the strength to climb back up.

Sabrina nudged Grace Williams, who gave it a second, then chimed in with a polite reminder:

“Dear, Ethan came to see you too. He was really concerned.”

Richard gave him a quick, half–hearted nod. “Sabrina, make sure to treat Mr. Collins well.”

Then he turned right back to Damien, launching into another topic–something about the

latest deal with Sunshine Pigments.

Two daughters, two potential sons–in–law. And Damien? He was miles ahead of Ethan in

every way. The difference couldn’t be starker.

Grace could feel her heart drop. It was clear–if Richard ever handed over the company,

Damien would be the obvious pick!

Which meant she and Sabrina could end up with nothing.

No way. She wasn’t about to let that happen.

Eventually, it took Grace pointing out how late it was for everyone to take their leave.

Damien drove off with Amelia in his one–of–a–kind Shadowlight, while Ethan took Sabrina in

his Maserati.

Sure, a Maserati’s not cheap–but comparing that to Damien’s ride? Ethan could barely hide

his frustration. All the embarrassment from earlier boiled over in his chest.

His eyes were burning as he glared at the Shadowlight ahead, hands clamped tight on the

wheel and foot inching toward the gas like someone ready for a showdown.

He looked downright dangerous–face full of rage, jaw clenched so tight he might snap a

tooth.

Sabrina stole a nervous glance, her voice barely above a whisper. “Ethan… are you okay? You

feeling sick or something? Maybe-”

“Buckle up.” Ethan’s words squeezed out like ice through gritted teeth.

And then–bam!-he slammed the gas pedal, aiming his car straight at Damien’s.

“Ahhh!” Sabrina’s face went pale as she screamed, eyes squeezed shut in terror.

But Damien hadn’t started his car yet–clearly, he’d already sensed something off with Ethan.

So right before impact, he smoothly steered the Shadowlight out of harm’s way with the skill

of a racecar driver.

Ethan’s face twisted in panic, scrambling to hit the brakes–but it was already too late. A loud

“bang” echoed as the nearby streetlight was knocked askew and slammed onto the ground,

startling everyone around.
