“He was the one who struck her. Why isn’t he being taken in?” Harper jabbed a finger toward Ethan.

“Would

you please keep quiet?” the event coordinator sighed in frustration. “The more you talk, the worse this will get for you.”

Even now, she couldn’t read the situation. Was she really that clueless?

“Goodness, what’s going on here?” Zack and Sarah hurried over.

All they’d heard was commotion, and now Dylan was being handcuffed?

“Sweetie, what happened?” Sarah’s face went pale.

“Mom, you have to help me. They’re pulling rank to screw us over,” Dylan blurted out, as if he’d just spotted a lifeline.

“There must be some mistake here.” Zack tried to reason with the officers.

“We’ll sort out whether it’s a mistake down at the station,” one cop replied flatly.

Zack backed off, then turned to Calvin. “I asked you to bring them to the event. How did things go this wrong?”

“You’ve got some nerve. If you hadn’t pushed for them to come, none of this would’ve happened,” Calvin shot back, furious. He’d ended up stuck with two fools, and now he was going down with them.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Zack frowned.

“They pissed off Mr. Ethan and Mr. Stewart!” Calvin snapped. “Do you even realize how much trouble that is?”

Zack staggered back. “You can’t be serious.”

“You think I’m joking right now?” Calvin retorted. Was cluelessness genetic in that family?

For a second, everything went dark, and Zack nearly lost his balance.

“Are you okay?” Sarah caught his arm. “Don’t panic. Let’s just focus on getting our son out of this.”

“How are we supposed to do that?” Zack said, completely defeated. “We’re talking about Mr. Stewart and Mr. Ethan!”

“We couldn’t afford to cross Mr. Stewart alone, and now Mr. Ethan’s involved too. Do any

idea who Mr. Ethan is in the finance world? If he blacklists us, who’s going to invest?” It was have over. Completely over.

Sarah went just as pale. “How did this happen? What do we do now?”

“Start preparing for bankruptcy.” He didn’t see any way out.

Hearing his father say that, Dylan finally understood how serious things were.

“Mom, that’s Arabella’s brother. Go talk to Arabella. Ask her to cut me some slack,” Dylan whispered urgently.

“What did you just say?” Sarah was stunned.

Dylan explained, “He’s Arabella’s brother. That’s why we messed up and offended him.”

Who would’ve thought Arabella’s brother was such a big deal?

“Where is Arabella?” Sarah’s eyes darted around the room.

It wasn’t hard to spot her. She was over by the buffet with Brielle, both enjoying their food as if the drama across the room had nothing to do with them.

In fact, with everything going on, that oddly calm corner stood out even more.

Sarah quickly fixed a smile on her face and walked over. “Arabella, honey, remember me?”

Startled, Brielle frowned. “Who are you? It’s rude to interrupt people while they’re eating.”

Sarah’s smile faltered for a second. She clenched her teeth and kept her tone gentle as she spoke to Arabella. “Arabella, I just found out my foolish son Dylan offended you. I’ll make sure he gets a real talking–to when we get home. For old times‘ sake, could you let this one go?”

Arabella replied coolly, “You’ve got the wrong idea. There are no ‘old times‘ between him and me.”

“Hear that? Stop acting like you’re close. You’re not,” Brielle said, waving her off. Nothing ruined a good meal like unwanted drama.

Shot down twice, Sarah’s expression soured. “Arabella, you and Dylan were engaged once. Are you really going to be this cold?”
