It was undeniable that with Jude around, the atmosphere thickened with an undeniable tension, a kind of raw magnetism that effortlessly drew people in.
Davina frowned, trying to maintain control of the situation. “I’m a dedicated holistic medicine practitioner. What are you implying?
Her feigned innocence only deepened the amused grin on Jude’s face, his lips curling as he leaned in closer. “Davina,” he whispered, his breath warm against her ear, “you can’t just run away after teasing someone.”

She didn’t expect her words to have such an effect, but she felt the sudden warmth creeping up her neck.
Although Jude knew Davina was simply trying to shift focus, he couldn’t help but get serious. After all, he cared a lot about Marlon’s health.
“What’s your price?” His voice was low, each word deliberate. “As long as you can cure him, I’ll pay it.
Davina looked ahead, her expression calm. “Prepare 50 million, and I’ll consider it.”
Jude’s smile remained unchanged. While Davina hadn’t outright agreed, her response was enough to hint at her willingness

A coldness washed over Jude, his gaze narrowing into a frosty glare as he watched Kennedy
Davina smiled politely and shook her head. “I can’t dance.”
Kennedy’s eyes twinkled behind his glasses, his smile gentle yet reassuring. “It’s alright,” he replied kindly. “I’ll teach you.”
His calm, patient tone made it hard to resist.
Despite her initial hesitation, Davina found herself drawn to his composed nature.
Out of courtesy, she nodded, raising her hand slightly.
But just as she was about to place her hand in Kennedy’s, another hand stopped her.
Jude gave Kennedy a sharp smile, his voice cool and commanding “Excuse me, but according to proper etiquette, I believe I should get to dance with her first. He glanced at Kennedy, his smirk widening. “Mr. Sawyer, wouldn’t you agree?”
Kennedy raised an eyebrow, his smile tinged with quiet irony. “Indeed, timing is always important. But Mr. Jude, you should remember that manners and respect matter as well.”
His words were calm but undeniably pointed, subtly challenging Jude with a sharp, quiet provocation.
Jude’s smile faded, his gaze sharpening, his demeanor turning more intense.

Jude spoke, his voice dripping with sarcastic sweetness, “Mr. Sawyer, it’s truly been a while. You’ve become rather unpleasant in your manner of speaking.
Kennedy simply smiled, his tone unfazed. “Compared to you, I still have much to learn.”
Meanwhile, Percy leaned in to Sacha, whispering something to her. Her eyes sparkled with sudden interest as she glanced at the unfolding drama between Jude and Kennedy.
The scene was too entertaining to ignore.
Sacha quickly pulled out her phone, eager to capture the moment before it slipped away.
Percy sighed
What happened to my cool, no–nonsense boat
On the other side, Davina, her patience thinning, yanked her hand free from Jude’s grip and shot them both a pointed look. “Why don’t you two go ahead and dance with each other?” she said, her voice laced with sarcasm.
Without waiting for a response, she turned, lifting her skirt, and walked away.
She couldn’t help but feel how ridiculous it all was caught in the middle of two men who clearly couldn’t stand each other, as if she were some pawns in their game.
Jude relaxed his grip and watched her retreat, a possessive, almost tender smile forming on his lips. “Look at my sister go.”
