She had no choice but to finish her glass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her drain it, Zachary clapped his hands and cheered loudly, \u201cScarlett\u2019s not just beautiful and sweet\u2013she can hold her liquor too. If Damian ever steps out of line, you just let me and Felix know. We\u2019ve got your back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett knew Zachary was trying to smooth things over for her. Grateful, she gave him a warm smile and said softly, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll remember that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary had spoken up on purpose. Naturally, Vincent and Sabrina heard him, and their attention shifted over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina noticed Damian looking toward Vincent, his eyes sharp with hostility and anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Damian like that, Sabrina pressed her lips together tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He must be jealous of Vincent. That\u2019s why he\u2019s staring him down like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing their exchanged looks, Zachary pulled out a business card and handed it to Scarlett, announcing clearly, \u201cScarlett, here\u2019s my card. Keep it safe. If anyone gives you trouble later, just call me. You won\u2019t even need Damian\u2013I\u2019ll take care of everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett accepted the card with another gentle smile. \u201cThank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across the table, Vincent narrowed his eyes at Scarlett. Seeing she didn\u2019t refuse or offer any explanation, he frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina shot a dark look at Zachary, thinking how clueless he was.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could Damian be in love with Scarlett? His sights were clearly set on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone at the table was lost in their own thoughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only Harris and Felix seemed like they were just along for the ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching Zachary play the protector, Daniel couldn\u2019t help but let out a scoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t hold back, asking bluntly, \u201cZachary, are you blind? You\u2019d stick up for just anybody?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary stayed perfectly calm. Instead of getting angry, he threw a meaningful glance toward Sabrina before looking back at Daniel. \u201cI think the blind one might be someone else. In fact, I was about to ask you the same thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Daniel had had enough. He slammed a hand on the table and stood up, barking, \u201cZachary!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

67\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary didn\u2019t even rise from his chair. He just gave Daniel a cool, indifferent look. \u201cWhat are you gonna do about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The tension spiked, thick enough to cut with a knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian instinctively moved closer to Scarlett, shielding her slightly, while shooting a frosty glare toward Vincent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sensing Daniel was about to explode, Vincent stopped him. \u201cDaniel, not here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did Daniel sink back into his seat, seething with frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the second time Zachary had shut him down that night. And they were at Warren Villa -hardly the place to make a scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary knew Daniel was boiling over, but he couldn\u2019t resist adding fuel to the fire. \u201cYeah, that\u2019s what I thought.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was Warren Villa, and Zachary was betting Daniel wouldn\u2019t dare start a real fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as Daniel was miserable, Zachary was happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beside him, Felix nudged Zachary\u2019s arm under the table and muttered, \u201cDon\u2019t start something you can\u2019t finish. You\u2019re playing right into their drama.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Zachary finally let it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Putting Vincent\u2019s table out of his mind, Zachary turned back to Scarlett. \u201cScarlett, you and Damian relax here. I\u2019m gonna grab you a slice of cake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett felt a surge of gratitude. \u201cThank you, Zachary.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Watching Zachary fuss over Scarlett, Sabrina had to resist the urge to kick the table leg in frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could Zachary be any more clueless? He doesn\u2019t even realize who Damian actually wants, and he\u2019s over there playing knight in shining armor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent noticed Sabrina\u2019s stiff posture and leaned toward her. \u201cEverything okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina shook her head quickly. \u201cOh, it\u2019s nothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The banquet was winding down. After making his rounds, Ethan returned to their table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stopped behind Vincent, placed a hand lightly on Sabrina\u2019s shoulder, and said in a low voice, \u201cThere\u2019s something Mr. Stewart asked me to pass along to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With that, he handed her a small velvet box.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina accepted it with surprise. \u201cOh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan explained, \u201cIt\u2019s from Vincent\u2019s grandfather. For you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sabrina froze for a second. Does Xavier already know about me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was this his way of showing approval\u2013of blessing her and Vincent?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her hesitate, Ethan added gently, \u201cTake good care of Vincent. He\u2019s one of the good ones.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing that, Sabrina felt sure Xavier must know and support their relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She beamed up at Ethan. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Mr. Warren. I absolutely will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan gave a satisfied nod before addressing the whole table. \u201cWe\u2019ll be starting the dancing soon. Stay and enjoy yourselves before you head out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
