A cold glint flashed through Phoebe’s eyes, and soon, several tall, muscular men surrounded her.

One of them reached out to grab her with a wicked grin. “Come on, sweetheart. Let me take you back”

Just as the man’s hand was about to touch her, Phoebe seized his wrist and flipped him over her shoulder with a sharp twist. He crashed onto the floor with a loud thud, letting out a pained scream.

Realizing something was off, the other three people lunged at her all at once.

One minute later, they were all lying on the ground, groaning in agony.

Phoebe, however, wasn’t feeling much better. The drug in her system was rapidly taking its toll. Her vision blurred, and her body felt like it was burning from the inside out.

Gritting her teeth, she forced herself forward. She stumbled into the elevator, blindly pressing the button for the first floor before leaning heavily against the wall, gasping for breath.

But when the doors opened, she realized she wasn’t on the first floor. But if she went back now, she might run straight into those men again.

She saw a long hallway stretched out before her. With no other option, she pushed forward, barely able to keep herself upright. She didn’t know how long she walked before her strength finally gave out. Just as her body collapsed toward the ground, she fell into a warm embrace.

On the eighth floor of Grand Luxe, inside the most exclusive private suite, Declan sat in silence, drinking. Two empty bottles sat in front of him.

lan, sprawled lazily on the couch, shot Declan an unimpressed look. “Dude, you’ve been downing drinks since you got here. You plan to drown yourself, or are you just sexually frustrated?”

Declan cast him a cold glance and spat, “Shut the fuck up.”

lan immediately pursed his lips and said nothing.

Marcus, watching from the side, clapped a hand on Ian’s shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look. “You really don’t know when to shut up, do you? Can’t you tell Declan’s in a bad mood?”

Before lan could retort, the door swung open, and Scott walked in with Bianca on his arm.

“Let me introduce my girlfriend, Bianca,” Scott said with a smile.

The three men exchanged glances. They already knew about Scott and Bianca’s history, but they hadn’t expected them to get back together this quickly after her return.

Ian’s brows furrowed slightly. Not too long ago, he had seen Scott out shopping with Cora, and now, Scott was with Bianca. Cora had once been part of their social circle. After her family went bankrupt, she disappeared for a while, only to make a spectacular comeback as the CEO of Miracle Youth.

But over the last two years, Miracle Youth had been struggling. Most people were betting against its survival.

lan had been worried if the company went under, Scott’s parents would never accept Cora, and it would make Scott and Cora’s relationship difficult.

Yet now, before anything had even played out, Scott was already with Bianca.

Seeing no one spoke, Scott looked a bit unsatisfied. He snapped, “What’s with you guys? You got a problem with my girlfriend?”

Marcus chuckled, glancing at Scott. “We just don’t want to frighten her.”

Then, turning to Bianca, Marcus said smoothly, “Nice to meet you. I’m Marcus, one of Scott’s closest friends.”

Bianca smiled warmly and said, “Nice to meet you guys.”

After exchanging greetings, Scott led Bianca to a seat beside him. “If you get bored,” he said, “you can get Jennifer over. You two are close, aren’t you?”

Bianca hesitated, her eyes flickering toward Declan. “Would that be okay? Are you guys…

Scott waved it off. “Why not? Everyone here knows her.”
