Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then turned his gaze back to Vincent, a mocking glint in his eyes. \u201cYou\u2019ve always had terrible judgment when it comes to people, Vincent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent shot back bluntly, \u201cYou\u2019re not exactly an expert yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian simply smiled faintly. \u201cReally, now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent didn\u2019t bother to reply further; he saw no point in wasting his breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his silence, Damian added, \u201cGenuinely, I hope you won\u2019t live to regret this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent looked him squarely in the eye, his tone firm. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Mr. Langley. That day will never come.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Vincent\u2019s view, he had no reason to feel any loss over Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though she was Vanessa\u2019s mother, Vanessa herself had grown attached to Sabrina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for romantic feelings, he had never held any for Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And from a practical standpoint, the Theron family could never offer the Stewarts any meaningful social or business advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, from every angle, Vincent was convinced he would never regret his choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even as a faint, sour pang echoed in his chest after saying the words, he dismissed it\u2014it wasn\u2019t concern, he told himself, just residual tension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, the door to the private room behind Sabrina swung open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett, Nolan, and Thomas stepped out together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment Damian saw Scarlett, he hurried over. \u201cEverything okay?\u201d he asked, his voice low.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett met his concerned gaze and nodded. \u201cYes, I\u2019m fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReady to head out?\u201d he pressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually,\u201d Scarlett said, \u201cMr. Newman has invited Nolan and me for a private chat. You can go ahead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian\u2019s brow furrowed slightly. \u201cThen I\u2019ll join you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thomas stepped forward, his tone polite but firm. \u201cMr. Langley, this is a casual dinner among\u00a0<\/p>\n

mentor and students. I\u2019m afraid it wouldn\u2019t be appropriate for you to attend.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian opened his mouth to object, but caught himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
(62),\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
He remembered\u2013Scarlett would soon be Thomas\u2018 student. Causing a scene now would only make things difficult for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Swallowing his pride, he nodded to Thomas. \u201cYou\u2019re right. It wouldn\u2019t be appropriate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then turned back to Scarlett. \u201cI\u2019ll wait for you in the car, then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his stubbornness, Scarlett replied coolly, \u201cDamian, you really don\u2019t need to wait. I can get back on my own.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian pretended not to hear. \u201cTake your time,\u201d he said gently. \u201cI\u2019ll be waiting in the car, like I promised.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone present witnessed Damian\u2019s uncharacteristic humility, and each reacted differently- Vincent was bewildered, Sabrina seethed with envy, Scarlett was perplexed, Nolan felt a spike of alarm, and Thomas watched with surprised interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian had a well\u2013known playboy reputation, yet he had never shown this kind of deference to anyone in public.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, he seemed to have cast aside all his pride in front of Scarlett.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Given his status, Damian truly didn\u2019t need to lower his head to anyone\u2013not even Vincent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The whole display left the small group quietly unsettled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Thomas who finally broke the silence. \u201cAlright then,\u201d he said to Scarlett and Nolan. \u201cShall we go out? Let\u2019s not be distracted by\u2026 unrelated matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett murmured, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan nodded. \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thomas gestured for the two to walk ahead, following a step behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like that, the three of them made their way out of the lobby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent didn\u2019t try to stop Scarlett from leaving. A heavy, unspoken discomfort settled in his chest, but he kept quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Scarlett\u2019s figure disappeared from view, a shadow of gloom flickered briefly in Vincent\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 370 Damian\u2019s Plea\u00a0<\/p>\n
A 62\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beside him, Sabrina gently touched his arm. \u201cVincent,\u201d she said softly, \u201cshall we go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vincent snapped back to the moment. \u201cYes,\u201d he replied flatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Together, they turned toward the restaurant exit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As they passed Damian, Sabrina glanced up at him deliberately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian noticed but didn\u2019t return her look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Frowning faintly, Sabrina felt a pang of confusion. Not long ago, he had been all playful charm, even teasing her with suggestive remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, it was as if she were invisible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Thomas led Scarlett and Nolan to a nearby casual barbecue spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After ordering a few skewers, Thomas eased into conversation with Nolan\u2013talking shop about recent medical papers, research grants, challenging surgeries, and persistent diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every so often, he would pose a question to Scarlett. She answered each one fluently, revealing a solid grasp of medical theory.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, no matter how strong her theoretical foundation was, she had never had the chance to apply it in real clinical practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thomas spoke warmly of her potential, \u201cIn time,\u201d he remarked, \u201cI believe you\u2019ll become an excellent physician, just like Nolan here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t take the praise for granted. \u201cI\u2019ll keep working hard,\u201d she said modestly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her humility only deepened Thomas\u2018 favorable impression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was nothing like Sabrina, he reflected\u2013someone with limited natural aptitude yet relentless in her pursuit of advanced degrees and titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
