“Uh...I'm not sure which one. It’s just...the designer my dad was dealing with the They call her...Dawn, I think,” As soon as these words left Troy’s mouth, Yvan's face underwent a rapid transformation, a killing intent flickering across his eyes, a chitting fury taking told.

Troy, frightened by Yvan’s volatile emotions, stood frozen as Yvan lunged forward, grabbing him by the collar with a threatening glare, “You dared to drug he “She...what's so special about her?” Troy, defiant even in the face of danger, retortes, “Her luck, catching my eye!” Yvan pinned Troy against the wall, his gaze piercing him for a long moment before abruptly releasing him, “I'll settle your account in time.” With a cold fury. Yvan turned on his heel and strode away, leaving Troy and the business associate behind.

Marching through the parking lot towards his car, Yvan pulled out his phone. “Car? It's me. | need Matilda's location, now. Immediately!”
