"Want to meet him?" Jonny offered Sadie a glass of red wine.

"No, thanks." Sadie shook her head. "I need to get home. Please thank them for me." With that, she slung her backpack over her shoulder and left through the back door... Watching her receding figure, Jonny's lips curved into a mysterious and chilling smirk.

"Miss, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go have a drink together," a young man blocked Sadie's way at the roadside, his provocative gaze lingering on her. "I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else." With her head lowered, Sadie tried to walk past him, but his bodyguard blocked her path.

"How dare you refuse?" The bodyguard's face was fierce and menacing.

"Shut up!" the young boy snapped coldly. "Is that anyway to speak to a lady such as her?"

The boy then approached Sadie, speaking with sincerity, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy. I just want to be friends."

"I have things to take care of at home." Sadie avoided him and walked in the other direction.

The boy's patience had completely run out. "Then don't blame me if I have to insist."

With that, he reached for Sadie and began dragging her towards the car...

"Let me go..." Sadie struggled in panic.

Suddenly, a horn blared, followed by blinding headlights shining directly into the boy's eyes.

"Damn it! Who's the meddling bastard that dares to interfere? Get rid of them!" the boy cursed in fury.

His bodyguard, full of aggression, moved towards the disturbance. Upon recognizing who it was, he sheepishly returned and muttered, "It's Mister Alan!"

"Which Mister Alan?" The boy didn't even get a chance to fully digest who it was.

A tall and commanding figure had already stepped out of the car and was walking towards them, radiating an icy chill: "Let her go!"

Turning around, Sadie was stunned...

She remembered the night of the auction, when she was harassed by a group of boys on the street, and how "Debt Repayment Male Escort" had appeared just like this... "Mister Alan... ah..." The large bodyguard began to speak but was quickly overcome by Alan, who twisted his wrist.

With a snap, the bodyguard fell to the ground, his face twisted in pain as he screamed loudly.

"Calm down, Mister Alan, I didn't know she was one of yours," the boy stammered, pale with fear, as he hurried to apologize to Sadie, "My ignorance is to blame. I should have never disrespected you..." Sadie was dumbfounded. Just who was this Mister Alan?

"Get lost!" Alan's cold command sent them scrambling away.

Sadie watched them go, then turned to Alan. "You..."

"What? Don't remember me?" Alan's mysterious, teasing smile hinted at hurt. "It's only been a few days, and you've already forgotten me. That's really sad!"

"No way, you're really..." Sadie was stunned. His voice was so similar, could he truly be the "Debt Repayment Male Escort"?

"Is your shoulder okay?" Alan noticed her jacket had been pulled down and thought she might have hurt herself.

"Is it really you?" Sadie asked again for confirmation. "How did you..."

"Get in the car first," Alan said, pulling her towards the vehicle.

Instinctively resistant, Sadie hesitated, but upon seeing the Aston Martin, her defenses fell away. She followed him into the car, expertly buckling her seatbelt and adjusting the seat...

"I thought for a moment you wouldn't recognize me," Alan said in jest, "It seems I made a lasting impression on you last time, my brother ev..."

Before Alan could finish his sentence, Sadie slapped him hard, her fury palpable as she ground her teeth and cursed, "You bastard, how dare you mock me!"

Alan stood there dumbfounded. He had thought Micah had already made things clear to her, including revealing his identity, and was about to say, "My brother has told you, hasn't he?" Instead, she mistook him for another aspect of Micah...
