?Chapter 498:


    Phone raised and already recording, Katie barreled toward Christina, determination written all over her face. “Well, look what we have here—caught you and your sugar daddy red-handed! Shame on you!”


    “Delete the video now,” Christina snapped, reaching to grab the phone.


    Katie saw the moveing and jerked her arm away, her smirk deepening. “Nice try. But you’re not getting anywhere near my phone.”


    Mockery danced in Katie’s eyes as she sneered, “Let’s see how you like it when everyone sees just how low you can go.”


    Katie’s eyes narrowed into a re, fixed on Christina, who stood nted in front of the car door, deliberately blocking her view of the driver. “Get out of the way, you tramp!” Katie snapped, her voice sharp with fading patience.


    Christina’s voice remained steady, her stance unyielding. “Not a chance. What’s your next move, Katie?”


    Rapid, angry breaths betrayed Katie’s growing frustration as she red daggers at Christina. “Pathetic, your sugar daddy is!” she spat, dripping venom. “Hiding out there like a coward, too ashamed to show his face. I see he’s left you to deal with all of this—figures he’d bail when things get tough.”


    Icy indifference crossed Christina’s face. “Erase the video. Trust me, if you don’t, even the Dawson family can’t protect you from what’sing.”


    A barkingugh erupted from Katie, dripping with ridicule. “Bluff all you want. I’m not scared of your empty threats. This footage is going straight to my brother and then online. Can’t wait for everyone to see how disgraceful you two are.”


    Katie’s arrogance only grew as Christina remained rooted to the spot without a word, mistaking stillness for surrender. “Cat got your tongue? You look scared. Here’s a deal—crawl around this parking lot and scream that you’re a tramp. Maybe then I’ll reconsider posting.”


    “Why don’t you try me and see what happens?” A cool smile barely flickered across Christina’s lips.


    “Oh?” Katie stopped mid-taunt as the driver’s side door burst open. A wicked grin spread across her face as she lifted her phone, angling for the perfect shot—she was finally going to unmask the man Christina had been hiding behind that car door. Exposing his identity would be her crowning moment, the solid evidence her brother needed to finally move on from Christina for good. Ruining Christina’s life…


    Reputation was all she cared about now, and this video would ensure everyone saw how shameless Christina was.

    Yet, as the car door opened, the man who stepped out caught Katie by surprise. Commanding the scene with quiet confidence, his presence was unmistakable—there was something familiar about him, though she couldn’t quite ce it.


    Expecting to find a balding, overweight man well past his prime, Katie was blindsided by the reality. Instead, the man was young, striking, and carried himself with a maic kind of power.


    As confusion flickered in her eyes, the man turned to face her. A jolt of recognition sent shock through her. It was Dn! Holy crap! How could that be? For a moment, Katie stood rooted in ce,pletely at a loss. How could Dn—a man with influence and status—be involved with Christina, the woman her brother had thrown away? Logic failed her. Nothing about this made sense. She wondered if she was seeing things.


    An icy edge crept into Dn’s voice as he broke the silence. “Who just used me of being a sugar daddy? Who threatened to broadcast this to the world?” His gazended on Katie, razor-sharp and unforgiving.


    Words dried up in Katie’s throat as she stumbled backward, phone wobbling in her grip.
