Madam Ruth's glare could have melted steel,"Grace? He mocks my grace!" She yelled, her voice climbing higher, the onlookers exchanged nervous glances,whispering amongst themselves as the tension escalated,“Wow, this is becoming interesting!""What a great show, All that's missing is some popcorn. Ahahaha!"One exclaimed as his eyes danced with amusement,Amber inhaled deeply, she hadn't planned for this night to be this dramatic, and yet it had, expelling a deep breath, she tried to bring some calm to the chaos, gently touched Ruth's arm,"Madam, perhaps we should discuss this privately?" she suggested.Ruth jerked her arm away and Amber scowled, restraining herself from something stupid. Unaware of Amber’s brooding anger, Madam Ruth’s breaths came in quick, furious pants as she stomped her foot,"No! I will not be undermined in my own domain," she declared, her voice breaking through the murmur of the crowd.Adam, still the eye of the storm, merely nodded."Madam Ruth, I meant n

As he fell to his knee, the laughter immediately died down, and was replaced by gasps, and widening of eyes, "He's choking!" Someone shouted the reality of Adam's warning crashing down on them, and their eyes began darting between Adam and the semi-conscious fellow. An uproar began in the Grand hall, as the guests' eyes darted around the room, their gaze remaining unfocused, as they looked between Madam Ruth's current state and distress, to the young man who had suddenly and unexpectedly begun choking before he slumped.A collection of whispers and mutterings began to grow within the crowd, their voices increasing in volume and curiosity, they couldn't help but land their curious gaze on Adam, he had spoken things and they had come to pass in a matter of seconds, they were beginning to fear him. "Who exactly is this man?" someone murmured, the question hanging in the air like a fog."Yeah, how did he know? First, Madam Ruth, and now this?" another voice added, his voice laced with

Not having a second thought, Mira stomped up to Derek and delivered the third slap of the day unto his face, causing his cheeks to turn the other way, and for a minute, she was tempted to slap the other,“I will not have you disrespect my guests! I'm well aware of the kind of person you are, but I will not let you insult and abuse my guest. Before your arrival, he was about bringing a semblance of peace to this calm!”She glared at the security that still held onto Dr Sterling,“Take him out! Both of them!”She continually heaved a breath as she spoke, and the remaining guards wasted no time as they walked over to Derek and grabbed him by his arm,“Don’t you touch me!”Derek snarled while throwing a disgusting look at everyone around him. He threw one glare at Adam and Mira,“I will not forget this, and I will get my revenge!”Adam scoffed and smiled, stepping forward to scowl at Derek, he smirked at him and gave a curt nod,“I'll be looking forward to it”Derek hissed and stomped his

Adam, Amber, and Adrien had barely made it to the street when Amber's anger erupted like a volcano,Her fists clenched tightly at her sides as if she was trying to physically hold back her fury. "I can't believe her!" she practically spat, her words slicing through the cool night air. "That woman, she's... she's unbearable!"Adrien, knowing who she was referring to, sighed and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some semblance of comfort. Yet, even he couldn't hide the tightness in his jaw, a clear sign of his own frustration,Adam, feeling the weight of the night's events, merely sighed, running a hand through his hair in a futile attempt to find some solace in the gesture. "Let's just... try to keep calm," he suggested, his voice a soft counter to Amber's fiery outrage.Amber whirled on him, her eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and disbelief, as she scoffed and huffed, "Calm? How can you even say that? After everything? I blame Mira for inviting you, knowing f

"You think you're so smart, don't you, Adam? But you have no idea what you're up against."Adam, unphased, rolled his eyes, a gesture of disdain that seemed to infuriate Stefan further. "On the contrary," Adam responded smoothly, "I believe I have a pretty good idea. You're a man driven by ambition and greed, blinded by your desire for power. It's pathetic, really."Stefan's anger now turned into fury, turned sharply to his group, his gaze burning with unspoken commands. "Teach him a lesson," he hissed, his voice laced with venom. "A lesson he'll never forget."The men, emboldened by their leader's command, shifted uneasily, finding courage in their numbers. "After all, what's one against so many?" one of them sneered, the group's collective confidence swelling.Adam, observing their movements with detached amusement, simply shook his head, an insolent smile playing on his lips. "Really now? Is this your grand plan?" he taunted his calm demeanour in stark contrast to their escala
