Damon glared at Gabriel, his jaw clenched, exuding an icy, intimidating aura.

Meanwhile, Gabriel had completely shed his usual gentle demeanor. He returned Damon's glare with nothing but hostility and contempt.

"Mr. Sumner, juggling getting back together with your ex while messing around with Nyla... The men in your family are all the same, aren't they?" Gabriel sneered. "You're in no position to lecture me. Get lost," Damon shot back, his voice cold and cutting.
