Paul was standing there, still in the middle of greeting Wyatt, but the moment he saw Yunice, his expressionpletely changed. Yunice could hear the pounding of her heart in her chest.
Meanwhile. Wyatt had already taken a seat on the sofa <b>across </b>from them. When <b>Jordan </b>walked in <b>and </b>saw Yunice still standing there, he called out. “Why are <b>you </b>just standing there? Go sit with Wyatt, Mr. Paul is treating us today”
Yunice nced at Jordan, and she felt as if all the blood in her body had turned ice–cold.
Just because they had met a few times as children, she had felt a certain familiarity with Jordan, like running into someone from the same hometown<b>. </b>But now that she had been yed by both <b>him </b>and Wyatt, she realized she was the biggest fool in the world.
She had thought she was scheming against Wyatt, but in reality<b>, </b>she was the one being yed.
However, after the initial wave of shock, Yunice quickly regained herposure and walked straight over to sit on the sofa beside Wyatt.
Paul’s eyes widened instantly. It <b>was </b>already shocking enough <b>that </b>Yunice wasn’t at the Saunders mansion but instead showed up <b>at </b>a club. Now, she was actually sitting next to Wyatt?
Does she not know that Hyatt is the Porcell family’s mortal enemy? She isn’t standing with me? <b>Paul </b>was furious. He barked out, Yunice, do you have no shame? Get over here right now!”
No shame? Yunice lifted her gaze. “Mr. Paul, we are neither rted nor close. Don’t raise your voice at me.”
<b>Paul </b>knew she was reminding him that their engagement had been called off. <b>But </b>that didn’t mean she could sit with <b>his </b>enemy! Did all the kindness he had shown her before mean nothing?
Frowning. Paul said. “Even if I don’t n to marry you, I still have to keep <b>you </b><b>in </b>line. Do your brother and the Saunders family even know you’re out thiste<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Yunice clenched her fists. Just hearing the mention of her brother was enough to make her panic. But she knew no matter what she did. <b>Paul </b>would tell Owen about tonight. That meant she would be facing Owen’s fury <b>and </b>imprisonment. After <b>that</b>, she <b>would </b>never be able to leave the Saunders mansion again.
Digging her nails into her palm, Yunice <b>said</b>, “I’m already 21. I have my own freedom.”
Paul sneered <b>and </b>ignored her. Instead, he strode forward, grabbed her wrish and turned to Wyatt. “Wyatt, she must be crazy to run off with you. I’m taking her out of here first, then we <b>can </b><b>talk</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
Crazy! Just using the escase of mental illness, he <b>thought </b>he could take me away as he pleases? How long is he going to keep throwing this usation at me! Her eyes turned red with grievance and frustration. Struggling to free herself, Yunice protested, “I’m not <b>crazy</b>! You’re falsely using me.”
She couldn’t be <b>taken </b>away. She hadn’t done anything yet…
Paul retorted, “Not crazy? Then who <b>was </b>it that got sent to a psychiatric hospital?”
Turning back to Wyatt, he added, “Wyatt, her patient ID at the psychiatric <b>hospital </b>is 1030, You can check for yourself. I’m taking her now before her family starts worrying”
Yunice’s face filled with panic, tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn’t break free from Paul’s grip, so she could only Inok around the room, hoping for help.
But when she scanned their faces, she realized that everyone here held significant <b>status</b>. Yet, they all remained indifferent and were watching coldly. No one <b>was </b>going to stand up for her.
*I’m not going back! I’m not going back!” Yunice shook her head, struggling desperately against <b>Paul</b>.
To his surprise, he couldn’t drag her away Paul was <b>shocked </b>by her sudden burst of strength, but at the same time, he still

Suddenly, <b>Yunice </b>screamed, “Wyatt… <b>Wyatt</b>! I can neutralize the Aconite! I can neutralize the Aconite!”

Paul had no idea what nonsense Yunice was yelling. The others in the room didn’t understand either; many of them <b>had </b>never <b>even </b>heard of Aconite before.
But Wyatt understood.
His gazended on Yunice’s tear–streaked face, her expression crumpled in despair.
She is crying. So annoying. Irritated, Wyatt shifted his gaze to <b>Paul </b>and said, “Let go.”
Paul hadn’t even processed what was said before he felt Jordan’s fingers <b>dig </b><b>into </b>his wrist. The sharp pain forced him to release Yunice. Immediately, she scrambled toward Wyatt, her <b>entire </b>body trembling uncontrobly from fear and distress
Seeing her shaking so badly, Wyatt frowned. He reached out, pulled her over to his side, and grabbed a couple of tissues.
Yunice was stunned when her chin was suddenly <b>lifted</b>. Her eyes were still wet with tears. Without hesitation, Wyatt started wiping her face <b>with </b>practiced case.
Paul happened to witness the whole scene. What is Wyatt doing? Since when did Yunice get so close to Wyatt?
For a moment, <b>Paul </b>was too stunned to react. But more than that, he found the sight downright unbearable. How dare Yunice be this intimate with another man right in front of me?
