“Yeah.” Jack said, flashing his little canines in a grin. “Grandpa said, since it’s your first time at a party here in Honnala, everyone needs to know you’re the Quinn family’s precious girl.”

Jack glanced back. “The bodyguards behind us are from Uncle David.”

Jessica and Rebecca turned around and realized that, without them noticing, the Guzman family’s bodyguards and the Quinn family’s bodyguards had lined up on both sides, surrounding them.

Jack let go of the doorhandle and just quirked an eyebrow.

Mark held his hand above the doorframe, looking every bit the gentleman. “Miss Rebecca, after you.”

Sebastian shot him a stern look.

It was obvious he wasn’t happy with Ryan.

“Anyone with eyes can tell she’s mine,” Ryan said, standing his ground.

Sebastian didn’t miss a beat. “Has she ever called you ‘Dad‘?”

Ryan was speechless.
