No one paid any attention to what Ash said, and she instantly became part of their little play. 

You’re Ash’s friend? Madeline asked, fully focused on Dwayne. As for her best friend, simply having her sit nearby was apparently enough. 

Dwayne briefly explained his relationship with Ash and then added, “I didn’t expect it, but it turns out even Ash’s friends are stunning 

Madeline smiled and said, “Are you friends with Calvert or Ash? Either way, it seems like fate’s playing a hand here. Honestly, we should’ve met much sooner.” 

Dwayne’s lips curled into a faint, indifferent smile as he responded, “True, but meeting now isn’t too late either. Everything happens at the right time” 

Behind them, Ash rolled her eyes so hard they nearly hit the ceiling. Raising her voice, she said, “Excuse me, could you two pause for a second? I won’t get in your way if you’re hitting it off so well. Wouldn’t want to be the third wheel or anything.” 

The two at the front were deep in conversation, happily ignoring the clown in the back–Ash. 

She took a deep breath and cursed under it, ‘One’s heartless, and the other’s shameless. Put them together, and what do you get? A match made in hell! 

“Madeline!” Ash snapped, grabbing her friend’s arm and giving it a hard pinch. “What the hell is going on with you? Do you even remember who invited me out today?” 

“Ow, ow! Babe, just chill for a bit, okay? It’s not every day I meet someone new. Don’t ruin the moment. Be good,” Madeline replied dismissively, ruffling Ash’s hair like she was petting a dog. 

Dwayne, who’d always been the third wheel before, finally got his moment in the spotlight–like a farmer flipping the script and taking the stage. 

Ash had no choice. She shot a glare at her heartless best friend, then sat off to the side, sipping the freshly served fruit cocktail in silence. 

“Excuse me,” Ash said as she made her way toward the restroom. Just as she turned a corner, she collided full–on with a shorter girl. Ash stumbled back a bit and politely apologized, 

The girl was simply but beautifully dressed. Her hair was tied up in a cute bun, her pale skin looked like it would bruise if touched, and her cheeks were flushed. Even her eyes were a little red as she softly said, “It’s okay, I bumped into you.” 

Ash glanced at her. Those wide, misty eyes looked just like a baby deer’s. It was hard not to feel protective. “You’re… of legal age, right?” she asked. 

She knew it wasn’t really her business, but something about this girl tugged at her instincts. Ash couldn’t help asking. 

The girl nodded obediently in response, “Yes, I’m an adult.” 

“Then… who did you come with? Are you safe?” Ash suddenly slipped into protector mode, practically radiating righteous guardian energy. 

The girl sniffled softly, her voice sounding even more delicate against the loud music. “I came with friends. I’m safe, but thank you for asking”

These guys, who were weak and slow, were nothing to Ash. They weren’t worth a tenth of what she was used to in training, 

Ash shook her head as she responded, “I’m fine.. 

But then, a thought struck her. She suddenly felt weak in the knees and collapsed into his arms. “Ow–actually, maybe I’m not. My head hurts. Do you think they hit me? What if I’ve got internal injuries? 

She had just finished showing off and suddenly realized the shouldn’t have. After all, Calvert didn’t know what she was really exple of 

Calvert caught her in his arms. He actually didn’t notice how terrible her acting was. His brows furrowed as he looked down at her and asked, “Where does it hurt? Did your old arm injury reopen? 

Meanwhile, the three men groaning on the ground, thought to themselves, Hey! We’re the ones who got wrecked here!
