Yvette gasped, startled as she instinctively took a step back. Her eyes darted to the mirror, and she saw Max standing behind her.

"Why did you follow me?" she demanded, narrowing her eyes at him, her voice laced with suspicion,

Max, hands casually tucked into his pockets, raised an eyebrow and motioned toward the men's restroom nearby. "What's this? Are you getting a habit of hanging around the men's room? Planning to go in It was only then that Yvette realized she was standing right next to the men's sink.

"You're the one with the bad habits!" she shot back defensively. Tm just washing my hands! There's no rule saying women can't stand here, right?"

As Isabel caught up, she overheard their bickering, the kind of playful argument you'd expect between schoolmates.

Isabel couldn't help but be intrigued. Max's background was just as impressive as Xander's.

He was the heir to the Hunts fortune, the sole successor to their empire, and his father's media giant, EastRise Media Solutions, controlled a significant portion of the entertainment industry.

In contrast, Yvette came from a humble middle-class family. It was strange that the two of them were even speaking to each other.

Isabel and Xander's relationship, though, was born out of Isabel's thick skin-and perhaps her medical skills-which had brought their once separate lives together.

"Stay away from me!" Yvette snapped, panic creeping into her voice. The thought of Max finding out about her pregnancy terrified her. What if he made her terminate it, or worse, took the babies from her!

"Oh? Now you want me to stay away? Just a few days ago, you couldn't get enough of me, clinging to me like glue. I couldn't shake you off," Max teased, his eyes glinting with mischief.

So it was him that night! Isabel's gaze shifted to Yvette's midsection, concern clouding her expression.

Yvette's face turned crimson. "You think I wanted that? If I hadn't been drugged, do you really think I'd throw myself at you? I'm not blind!"

Max clicked his tongue, feigning amusement.

Isabel raised an eyebrow, surprised by the revelation, though she couldn't help but wonder-she never expected Max to be the one involved that night.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Max narrowed his eyes, irritation flashing across his face. "Are you saying I'm ugly?"

"Exactly. You're ugly!" Yvette retorted, hands on her hips, refusing to back down.

Max took a step closer, his imposing presence forcing Yvette to step back.

"W-what are you doing?" Yvette felt the pressure building as her back hit the wall.
