Bethany leaned in and whispered something in Erin’s ear.

Sheena was also looking at her.
Their eyes met, and Sheena chuckled softly before turning her head to engage with Howard.
However, what seemed like a casual smile was a clear provocation in Erin’s eyes, and she clenched

Sheena was savoring a delicate dish Howard had served when she was unexpectedly called out.
The venue fell quiet, all of them were having the same thought. No matter how skilled Sheena was,
how could she compare to Brandon? Not to mention the vast difference in physical strength between a
