The atmosphere in the room grew tense as Bruce, his face red with humiliation and anger, gathered himself to leave. The laughter and scorn from Lilly and her family still resounded in his ears, a bitter reminder of the contempt he had faced. He straightened up, trying to regain some semblance of dignity despite the crushing weight of his shame.

Before exiting, Bruce cast a final, defiant glance at Lilly and her family. “You can laugh all you want,” he said, his voice trembling with a mix of rage and desperation. “But mark my words: Meeky is not what you think he is. He’s a scammer, and I will make sure that he pays for what he’s done. When I get my hands on him, he’ll regret ever crossing me.”

The threat hung in the air, a dark promise of revenge that Bruce seemed to deliver with a sense of serious determination. With one last, resolute look, he turned and exited the room, leaving behind a tense silence.

Justin could see it in the way his eyes avoided his gaze. But there had been more-something darker, something deeper.

She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused.
