The two men, both titans in their own right, faced off with eyes that practically spit sparks.

Crackle-snap-

Beneath the surface, countless dark currents surged.

Hudson had the primal urge to shove Julian aside and reclaim his wife, but he held back for the sake of optics.

He stood his ground, a rigid statue of cold fury, his gaze pinned on the man shielding Jade.

“Mr. Forster, perhaps you’re unaware that the woman you’re protecting is my wife. I didn’t know you had a taste for stolen goods!”

Jade heard the venom in his voice and couldn’t stay silent.

“Hudson! Accuse me if you must, but don’t you dare insult others.”

Hudson’s muscles coiled tight, the veins in his neck bulging with suppressed violence.

He ignored her entirely, his eyes never leaving Julian’s face.

Julian smirked, his expression one of pure, aristocratic amusement. “I’m perfectly aware. But helping her is a matter of basic humanity, regardless of her marital status.”

He took a bold step forward, meeting Hudson’s icy glare with zero intimidation.

“Besides, as her husband, you didn’t even know she was being hunted? In Harbor City, we have a word for men who can’t protect their wives…”

He leaned in, his shoulder brushing Hudson’s as he whispered a single, devastating word.

“Trash.”

The insult thudded against Hudson’s pride, shattering his control as he swung a heavy punch.

Julian caught the fist with his bandaged hand.

He used too much force, blood instantly blooming through the white gauze as Jade watched in

horror.

Jade let out a horrified gasp and rushed forward, physically pushing Hudson away.

“Mr. Forster! Are you okay? Your hand!”

Julian looked down at her with a soft, reassuring gaze.

“It’s nothing. Just a minor sting.”

Jade was about to examine the wound when Hudson’s voice roared behind her.

“Jade! You pushed me for him? Do you have any idea who you’re married to?”

“I should be asking you that! What is wrong with you?” Jade shouted, her eyes rimmed with angry red.

“Mr. Forster was injured saving my life! I’d be a corpse without him! How could I not defend him?”

Hudson went still; he hadn’t realized Julian’s injury was the price of Jade’s safety.

He knew Julian’s reputation as a ruthless shark who cared only for his own interests.

For a man like that to risk permanent damage for Jade… what was the hidden agenda?

“I’m fine, Jade. Don’t waste your breath on him,” Julian said, casting a protective look her way.

“I’ll have a quick word with her and be on my way. Don’t harass her.”

Hudson opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Jade was already walking off with Julian.

The pressure in his chest was suffocating, a mix of jealousy and wounded ego.

He turned his head away in a display of indifference, though his eyes followed their move.

Under the shadow of an old locust tree.

Julian saw the deep worry etched into her features and offered a gentle chuckle.

“Seriously, I’ve survived much worse than a small cut. I’m not going to die.”

“Don’t even joke about that!” Jade snapped, her brows knit tight.

“That’s terrible luck. Take it back right now!”

Julian raised an eyebrow and playfully mimicked her gesture.

“Consider it taken back.”

Jade froze.
