The sound of thin fabric tearing was barely noticeable to others. But to me, it was deafening.

Immediately after, a large patch of bare skin on my shoulder was exposed, and it wasn't until the cool air stung my arm that I felt the dull pain radiating from my shoulder.

Someone had deliberately pinched my arm while yanking at my clothes, tearing the fabric in the process.

"How shameless is she to help a homewrecker? Let's strip her and see if she understands embarrassment!"

I froze for a moment. People often said women would always have each other's backs. But at the same time, women knew each other too well. They understood exactly where a woman's sense of shame. lay and what she held dear.

I had once handled cases involving school bullying where the female bullies would corner a girl in the school bathroom and strip her as a form of humiliation.

I never imagined that, after all these years since leaving school, someone would still come up with such a cruel way to attack me, and in a completely open space no less.

"How dare you!"

Silas, who was always calm and gentle, had never raised his voice before. But at that moment, he shouted with all his might, his eyes. wide with fury.

My suspicion that this was an organized attack grew stronger when he was surrounded by a group of men who had formed a protective

I was into celebrity culture, so I didn't know much about the so called fandoms, but I vaguely remembered something.

I shouted at the top of my lungs, "Fap behavior reflects on the idol Does Zachary know what you all are doing today? Do you realize you're actually ruining his reputation

For a brief moment, silence fell over the chaotic scene around me However, my words were like a bombshell, triggering an even stronger backlash within seconds. It was as if a classroom had exploded into chaos the moment the dismissal bell rang. "Die, you wretch! What did you just say? You must be a fan of Cindy"

"The lawyer just hit someone! The lawyer just hit someone!"

"Cindy's secret lover must be having an affair with you, isn't he?"

Suddenly, countless hands reached out toward me. Even though! swung my arms with all my might, couldn't fend off their malicious attacks

Thad been too arrogant. Not only had I put myself in danger, but / had also dragged the others into this mess.

Just when I thought all hope was lost, a line of black business cars

blared their horns, forcing their way through the crowd.

A driver leaned out of his window, shouting. "Move! If you don't get out of the way, we'll run you over! We can afford to pay for the damages!" With this aggressive pressure, the cars managed to gain a good position. Dozens of bodyguards soon stepped out, separating the crowd from me.

The door of a Rolls-Royce in the middle of the convoy slowly opened, and the first thing to emerge was a pair of long legs. Nicholas, looking tall and sharp, walked toward me with measured steps. He didn't look directly at me, but instead scanned the surroundings with a cold gaze.

His voice, low and slightly hoarse in the night, was laced with a dangerous edge, and his dark eyes gleamed with an icy light. His face showed a smile born out of danger.

"Take them all to the police station. Don't let a single one go!" His deep voice carried an unmistakable threat.

Suddenly, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms,

wrapping me in his large coat to shield me as he guided me toward

the car.

I glanced back, worried about Yasmine and the others, but he quickly pushed my head down and kept me close.

"They'll be fine," he said.

Upon hearing that, the tension in my chest finally eased. As wel walked, I heard his muffled voice saying, "I've already bought ther tickets. We're going abroad for our honeymoon. It's the perfect time.
