Sophia wanted to say something, but as the words reached her lips, her mind just went blank. lvan's sudden confession had left

her completely flustered.

Everyone was staring at her.

Zachary and Jolin were both shocked yet excited.

Don was more shocked than anything else. Not so much at Ivan's liking for Sophia, but at his bold public declaration of affection.

This was completely out of Ivan's character.

After the initial shock wore off, Don couldn't help casting a worried glance toward Brandon.

Brandon's handsface was taut. His grip on the glass had unconsciously tightened, his lips almost pressed into a thin line, and

his eyes were fixed on Sophia.

Sophia, still flustered, looked at Ivan with a face full of embarrassment.

Alex, who was friendly with both of them, particularly Ivan, was all in favor of them being together.

As the atmosphere grew tense, he initiated a round of clapping and chanting, "Get together, get together."

The others joined in the clapping and chanting, "Get together, get together."

Even Zachary looked at Sophia reassuringly, smiling, "Sophia, Ivan's a great catch. Don’t miss your chance."

"Yeah, our Ivan is a good guy."

Alex chimed in with a laugh, "He's tall, handsome, smart, an Ivy League grad, gentle, devoted, responsible, and he is not a playboy

or has any bad habits—the kind of man you can't even find with a lantern."

"What's most important is, you've known each other for years, that's reassuring."

Zachary added with a smile.

"Yeah, this is the first tI've seen Ivan go after a girl."

too, I've known Ivan for years and have never seen him show interest in any girl."

In the midst of the egging on, a "snap"—the sound of glass shattering—abruptly filled the air.

Everyone fell silent.

Instinctively, they all looked toward the source of the sound.

Sophia also instinctively looked up, catching sight of the shattered glass in front of Brandon, as well as his bleeding palm.

She instinctively looked at Brandon.

Brandon's expression was unreadable, as he calmly removed the shards of glass from his palm without even lifting his head.

"Sorry."

His apology was cool and composed; he didn't even raise his head.

Zachary collected himself and hurried over, "Are you okay? How deep is the cut?"

Turning to Jolin, he instructed, "Quick, get santiseptic and gauze."

Alex also stepped over, "There's a clinic at the entrance of the neighborhood. Let's get that wound looked at."

Saying this, he couldn't help but glance at the broken glass on the table, puzzled by how it broke.

Don just looked at the scatter of shattered glass on the table, thoughtfully glancing at Brandon, then at Sophia.

Sophia was still staring at Brandon's bleeding palm in a daze.

She didn't move forward, just sat there, frozen.

Ivan also looked thoughtfully at Brandon and stood up, "Mr. Crawley, lettake you to the clinic outside to get that taken care of."

"No need, thank you," Brandon replied.

Standing up calmly, he gave Zachary an apologetic look, "Sorry, Mr. Gardner, for interrupting your ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"What are you talking about? It's our problem," Zachary quickly replied.

"It's my problem," said Brandon. "I'll take my leave now. | wish your new venture every success."

With that, Brandon nodded apologetically at Zachary, then, to the astonishment of the wide-eyed onlookers, he bent down,

scooped up Sophia's wrist, pulled her up, and started to walk away without a backward glance.

Ivan instinctively reached out and grabbed Sophia's other hand, stopping her in her tracks.

Zachary was stunned.

Brandon turned back coldly and looked at Ivan: "Let go!"
