"Wait!" Marco stepped forward and held out a hand, "What do you think you're doing?"

"They insulted Miss Jasmine Kingston's guests-accused them of being thieves and deserve to be punished," one guard spat.

"Hold on." Marco discreetly pressed some cash into the head guard's hand.

"I knew Jasmine Kingston personally. I'll make sure she hears how well you handled this. I'm sure she'll let the insult slide. All right?"

The head guard eyed the money-equal to a couple of months' salary-and broke into a smile.

"If you say so, sir. Just keep those two under control. Dogs like them belong in a cage."

He gestured to the other guards, who promptly let go of Florence and Jack. Then, before walking away, the guard glowered at a few onlookers still hovering nearby.

"You heard me-scram! Unless you're begging for trouble!"

The small crowd scattered in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Marco's own men hovered uncertainly.

They kept their gazes down, bracing for a scolding. Marco gave them a hard look, as if to say:

'How could you all lose to one guy? I told you to handle him, and instead you got beaten like dogs.'

"Sophia, look at your brother!" Florence wailed.
