"What game are you trying to play here? Today is a celebration, not a sports club. Looking to play? You've got the wrong address, buddy," Grant fired off, before giving Brown's hand a firm squeeze, "Let go." Instantly, Brown's face flushed a deep shade of red, clearly pained by Grant's grip.

Who would've thought Grant had such a strong grip?

Yet, Brown didn't release his hold. That's when I heard a voice I knew all too well, "What's going on here?"

As Ernest spoke, he approached, his presence commanding in a sleek black suit, his gaze fixed on Brown's hand holding mine.

Seeing him, Brown's lips twisted into a smirk. "Mr. Collins, I was just inviting this lovely lady to join a game. She plays hard to get."

Ernest's eyes briefly met mine, "And why should she entertain you? Who are you? Who brought you here today?"

After his trio of cold inquiries, someone whispered into his ear.

Ernest's brows furrowed slightly, "Let it be known, both he and his invitee are to be escorted out of the celebration."

"Hah," Brown laughed, "You're nothing but a stray picked up by the Collins family. Do you really think you have the authority to dismiss me?"

Before Ernest could respond, his bodyguard stepped forward, ready to intervene, but Ernest raised his hand to stop him.

Seeing this, Brown smirked provocatively and walked away, but not before whistling at me, "Babe, consider our game on."

He was so arrogant.
