Sensing the distinct, sinister aura that belonged only to the Westerian Blood Clan, Leander turned his head immediately and happened to catch sight of a blond, blue–eyed young man walking in with his arm wrapped around Shirley.

The man’s right arm hooked loosely over her shoulders, and Shirley leaned into him with the soft, obedient air of a girl utterly smitten.

When Liam saw Leander turn, he instinctively followed his gaze–and the moment he saw Shirley in the blond man’s embrace, his entire body jolted as if struck by lightning.

He had already felt his world collapse when he saw Shirley entering a hotel with that man earlier. Now, watching them stroll in together, acting like a perfect couple right in front of him, the agony was so sharp it left him trembling. He couldn’t even get a word out. He just stared at them, stunned and helpless.

Leander, on the other hand, was impassive, his attention fixed on the blond man, a dangerous glint flickering in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, if Liam were slapped with something like this, Leander would never sit back and ignore it. But this was a matter between Liam and Shirley–something no outsider could fix.

Shirley had chosen to betray Liam for this blond man, to throw herself into someone else’s arms. Leander could hardly force her to change her mind. Feelings couldn’t be forced. Even with all the power he wielded, he couldn’t alter someone’s heart. So he gave the pair a single glance and withdrew his gaze.

Shirley and the blond man pushed open the door without noticing Leander or Liam. Sheltered in the man’s arm, she walked toward a table near the center of the room.

Liam didn’t blink once, following their every step. When the man helped Shirley into her seat, he casually glanced sideways–and his eyes landed on Liam. A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips.

He deliberately pulled Shirley a little closer and raised his voice. “Peaches, looks like your boyfriend’s here too!”

Shirley stiffened, visibly startled. She turned–and found Liam staring right at her. Their eyes met for a single moment. Shirley’s gaze remained perfectly calm, as if she were looking at a total stranger, and she immediately looked away.

Seeing that expression gutted Liam even further.

Leander watched in silence, but he caught every bit of the mockery and taunting in the blond man’s eyes.

Just then, the door swung open again, and a young girl dressed to turn heads hurried inside. She was sweet–faced, lightly made up. her figure shapely and eye–catching.

The moment she stepped into the lounge bar, she scanned the room, and when she spotted the blond man, delight flashed across her face. She rushed straight toward him.

She didn’t bother to hide a thing. Ignoring the stunned looks from people nearby, she wrapped both arms around the blond man’s

neck.

“Did you miss me today, darling?”

Her voice was sugary sweet, playful and cutesy, her body swaying as if desperate for affection.

“Of course I did.” The blond man grinned, planted a hard kiss on her lips, and pulled her down beside him

Through all of this, Shirley stayed quietly tucked against his other side, showing not the slightest reaction. She didn’t object to the girl, didn’t question the blond man’s behavior. It was as if sharing him was normal. The crowd around them was left in stunned disbelief.

“What the hell is this? Two girls sharing one guy? In this day and age?”

A few young men exchanged looks, envy flickering in their eyes. Both Shirley and the newly arrived girl were absolute standouts- having one of them was the dream of most men. But this blond man had both in his arms.

Watching the scene unfold, Leander paused, a frown forming. Something didn’t add up.

He didn’t pretend to understand Shirley completely, but he knew enough. She had opinions, she had boundaries, she had a sense of self. Even if she had grown disappointed in Liam and fallen for someone else, she would never accept sharing a boyfriend with another girl. That simply wasn’t who she was.

But now, she sat there quietly, offering no resistance at all. That alone was far from normal.

Leander connected the dots the moment he linked the blond man’s identity to the Westerian Blood Clan, and a possibility began to take shape. Even so, he didn’t move. He simply watched, letting the situation unfold on its own.

Liam, however, couldn’t hold back. He shot to his feet and strode across the room, stopping right in front of Shirley and the blond man. His eyes locked onto hers.

“Shirley.” His brows pulled tight, his expression a mix of confusion and anger. “I told you before–if you ever fell for someone else, you had to tell me. I would’ve let you go and wished you well. But you got together with Pierce without saying a single word to me. You wouldn’t even give me an explanation when I asked. Why?”

He clutched the edge of the table so hard his fingertips turned white.

“Even if you really had fallen for someone else, if you didn’t want to talk to me anymore, if you didn’t even want to explain–I could’ve accepted that. But how did you become like this? Sharing a boyfriend with another girl? Letting another woman enjoy the same man as you? I can’t believe you would ever do something like this!”

His voice trembled with disbelief and heartbreak. He still remembered how gentle and thoughtful Shirley had been. He’d even taken her home to meet his parents, and though they hadn’t said much, they’d clearly been pleased with her.

But now the girl he had treated like a treasure was nestled against another man, equal in status to another woman in his arms- something he simply couldn’t process or bear.

Liam’s outburst brought the lounge to a standstill. People all around turned to watch with eager curiosity. Drama like this drew attention instantly.

Liam stood stiffly before the table, questioning her, while Shirley remained unmoved. She lazily lifted her gaze—only to glance toward Pierce as if waiting for his approval.

Pierce smiled, relaxing comfortably in his seat. “Peaches, why don’t you tell your boyfriend why you chose me?”

His tone brimmed with confidence–the kind that came from a man absolutely certain he controlled women completely.

Shirley nodded with a soft smile, then turned back to Liam. Her face cooled instantly. “There’s nothing left to say between us. I chose Pierce because he gives me a kind of pleasure most women will never experience. When I’m with him, I can feel… conquered, every second. And that’s something you could never give me.”
