"What's going on?"Sean frowned and looked toward the doorway. The person who had pushed the door open was the floor manager of The Majestic Lounge.Hearing Sean's question, the manager, Aidan Bonds, immediately wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "I-It's nothing, really… It's just a small commotion. The matter's already been taken care of. Actually…"Before Aidan could finish, voices shouting outside reached Sean's ears. Vulgar and crude insults filled the hallway.Although The Majestic Lounge was open for business and technically did not turn away paying customers, it was a high-end club. Normally, people with low manners were not even allowed inside.The moment Sean heard the voices, a cold gleam flashed through his previously calm, harmless expression. And then came a woman's voice, sounding sharp and familiar.Sean's expression darkened. Without another word, he stood and quickly left the room.At that moment, Tania was outside in a shouting match. Though both

"Wait, that's not right." Tania suddenly clapped her thigh as if something just occurred to her. "We haven't gone that long without seeing each other, have we, Joanna? Wasn't it just the other day at the mall? We were shopping for clothes together."Tania reminded her casually, but Joanna's face turned pale instantly. She subconsciously clenched the hem of her blouse. Her expression grew tense, and inwardly, she panicked. She was terrified that Tania might blurt out what happened that day.She instinctively glanced at Sean, only to realize he was not even looking at her.Joanna felt an ache in her chest. Why would Sean not look at her? From the moment he arrived until now, he had not spared her a single glance.Even now, with Tania deliberately bringing her into the conversation, Sean never once turned his eyes toward her. That cold neglect left her feeling completely defeated.Thinking back to the shopping trip, she had said a lot of suggestive things in front of her colleague.

"Sean, you've gone too far."Lennox could not hold it in anymore. "Joanna just likes you. If you don't feel the same, you could've just rejected her."Sean let out a cold snort. "If that worked, do you think she'd still be here? With a brain like that, some people are destined to be pets their entire lives."His words were harsh and unforgiving. "Just because my mother likes pets doesn't mean I do. Joanna, take care of yourself."Joanna bit down hard on her lower lip. "Sean, how can you say that? That's not what I meant. I just—""Enough. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense."Tania glanced at Joanna and grinned, which only made Joanna's resentful gaze land sharply on her. Tania raised her brows, about to retort, but her phone suddenly rang. She reached into her bag, saw that it was Liliana's number, and quickly answered. "What's wrong, Liliana?""Tania, help me.""What happened, Liliana? Where are you?"Tania's expression changed instantly. "Hang on, I'm coming right n

Sean let go of her wrist. "She's okay. It's probably—"His face froze mid-sentence as his gaze landed on the red stain beneath Liliana. His expression darkened instantly. "Quick, get her to the hospital!"Tania also noticed the red stain beneath Liliana and her expression changed slightly. "What happened? Liliana, she…"Before she could finish, Sean had already scooped Liliana up into his arms. Without waiting for Tania, he rushed out of the apartment and down the stairs with Liliana in his arms.Tania's mind was still a mess. All she could picture was that pool of blood beneath Liliana. There was not a lot, but… was Liliana really pregnant?Was what Joanna said true?Then whose child was Liliana carrying? Keith's?Tania thought back to what Joanna had just screamed at Sean and found herself growing increasingly confused. As far as she knew, Liliana and Sean were not that close.Sure, they were both students from Vista University, but Sean had always been difficult to approach.

"That was an accident." Sean gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly as veins popped across his knuckles.Peter glanced at him with slightly furrowed brows. "The first time might've been an accident. What about the second time? Sean, you're too deep inside to see clearly. Do you really know what you want?"Sean was about to speak again, but Tania came out of the ward at that moment. Sensing the tension between the two men, she raised a brow. "What's going on?""Nothing. Let's go," Peter replied, slipping his long arm around her and pulling her petite figure into his embrace, holding her close."Come on, we haven't even eaten dinner yet.""Oh please, it's your fault I came, and you didn't even show up until so late."Peter and Tania walked off, their figures disappearing into the distance. However, Sean remained where he was, rooted to the spot. It was not until his body began to feel stiff that he finally pulled himself together, composed his expression, and pushed the doo
