“Lucinda, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay with you.”
Lucinda remained silent and soon drifted off to sleep on the couch.
Brinleigh asked Conor and learned that Lucinda was in a bad mood and didn’t want to return home. He requested Leon and Conor to book a nearby hotel room for her using his card.
After Leon and Conor left, Brinleigh assisted Lucinda as she walked out of the private room.
Just as he took a couple of steps, a man suddenly materialized in front of him.
By the time Brinleigh regained his composure, the man had already held Lucinda in his arms.
The man donned a silver gray mask, which concealed his face, yet his eyes brimmed with fury.

Recognizing the mask, Brinleigh greeted the man with a smile.
“Master Nathan, what a coincidence. Are you also here attending a business dinner?”
Nathan disregarded Brinleigh and warily cradled the drunk Lucinda in his arms.
Upon assessing her condition, Nathan’s anger flared.
“She never gets this drunk. What did you do to her?”
Brinleigh felt wronged. However, he was unhappy with Nathan’s questioning and taking Lucinda away by force.
“Do you think I drugged her?” Brinleigh asked.
“I would never do such a despicable thing. Lucinda was in a bad mood, so I drank with her. She’s drunk, and I need to take her back to rest,” he explained.
Brinleigh tried to pull her back, but Nathan dodged and held her firmly.
“Don’t bother. I’ll take good care of her,” Nathan said confidently.
Brinleigh’s face became serious.
“It seems that you have feelings for Lucinda too?”

“Yes, I do,” Nathan admitted.
Brinleigh was annoyed.
He had thought that after Nathaniel’s death, no one would compete with him for Lucinda’s affection. But Nathan was now his new competitor.
“I think it’s inappropriate for you to hold her like this. Besides, she just returned to Stastle and is not familiar with you. But I grew up with her. You should leave her to me,” Brinleigh said assertively.
Sonny stepped in front of Brinleigh when he was about to pull Lucinda away.
