Tina was visibly taken aback.

She hadn't expected Alfred to be here, and even less did she expect Phillip to exit his car, let alone grab her hand in front of Alfred. Wasn't this basically a direct challenge?

Alfred had just witnessed Tina stepping out of that car, which initially didn't bother him much. However, seeing Phillip now, his gaze shifted from Tina to Phillip's hand holding hers, and his expression darkened. Phillip, entirely ignoring Alfred's reaction, simply told Tina, "Go upstairs."
