Nolan’s final question cracked with emotion, his voice breaking. It was clear just how turbulent his feelings weir at that moment.
Dylan looked down at the spilled wine, the vivid red spreading across the floor.
Nolan thought his words had stunned Dylan into silence, that maybe he’d finally back off from Amelia.
But Dylan only replied lightly, almost dismissively. “In a relationship, the one who isn’t loved is the outsider. Nolan, you’re still too naive.”
It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck Nolan’s head. He was utterly shaken. “What did you just say?”
What did you mean by the one who wasn’t loved being the outsider? What kind of logic was that?
Was this the moral compass of the President of Hale Corporation?
Dylan had run out of patience too. He lowered his eyes. “Stop making a fuss. Leave.”
Compared to Dylan’s composure, Nolan looked like a child throwing a tantrum.
Yet they were only a few years apart. How could Dylan say that Nolan was naive?
Once again, Nolan was speechless because Dylan was completely unshakeable.
He didn’t even know how he left the private room. It felt like the ground beneath his feet had turned to cotton, and he was barely holding himself up.
Logan and Tony both noticed something was off the moment he bumped into them, but neither said a word.
They were always cold and indifferent around outsiders.
Nolan kept walking until he reached the outside of Lune Non–Setting. The chill of the night wind suddenly cleared his mind.
He’d been too overwhelmed by Dylan’s presence earlier to think straight. But now it dawned on him that Dylan’s words were meant to mislead him. It was to make him believe that Amelia had already had something with Dylan before she lost her memory.
But that was absolutely impossible. Nolan knew just how much Amelia used to hate Dylan. There was no way she would’ve been secretly involved with him..
This had to be Dylan’s long–harbored desire, and now he was just taking advantage of her amnesia to sneak his way in.
It had to be that.
Nolan was trembling as he sat in the driver’s seat. His hands gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter.
He took a deep breath and slammed the steering wheel hard. He hated how weak he was, even utterly powerless!
Damn it!

The horn blared loudly. He stared ahead, then suddenly slumped back against the seat, exhausted,

What mattered most right now was that Amelia had lost her memory. She didn’t even realize Dylan’s intentions. She had even started working on the top floor–it was like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den.
What would happen when her memories returned? Would she be so devastated that she’d want to jump off the building?
Nolan pulled out his lighter and lit a cigarette. Emotions flickered in his eyes. Finally, he knew what he had to do.
Just like he’d said before, Ire had to help Amelia regain her memories. She also had to know what kind of feelings her dear uncle had for her.
Back in the private room at Moon Never Sets, Logan looked down at the shattered wine bottle on the floor. He shook his head. “What a waste. That was good wine.”
Dylan leaned back with his eyes closed. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Logan poured himself a drink, then poured one for Tony, who hadn’t said a word the whole time. He couldn’t help but clink glasses with him. “Prince Tony, why does the dead look? You’re out at a dinner gathering.”
Tony gripped his glass tightly, his expression dark and stormy.
He was the youngest among them. His methods might be ruthless, but compared to these old foxes, he was still green.
Logan let out a soft snort. He sat back casually, his shirt half unbuttoned, revealing strong, well–defined muscles.
Tony downed his drink, then asked, “My sister’s been way too quiet lately.”
Logan suddenly laughed. “You think she’s plotting something big? Honestly, don’t you think you’re a bit twisted? She has already left the Stanley Family’s company. What more do you want?
“If you really didn’t want her to inherit anything, just send her abroad or, better yet, make her disappear without a trace. Your parents only adopted her in the first place,e thinking they couldn’t have children.”
Tony lowered his head, fingers tightening around his glass. “I never wanted her out of the company. She left on her own.”
Logan leaned in slightly and waved a hand in front of him. “You okay? Back then, you made such a big deal out of it. Everyone knows you hate her. Savannah is a witty woman. Knowing you hated her, of course, she wouldn’t stick around. Honestly, she’s got quite a personality.”
As soon as he said that, he could feel Tony’s beast–like gaze lock onto him. “What’s that supposed to mean, Logan?”
Logan raised a hand slightly and curved his lips into a smirk. “What am I saying? Well, my family’s been pressuring me to settle down. Maybe I should consider becoming your brother–in–law.”
No sooner had he spoken than Tony slammed his glass down on the coffee table so hard it shattered into pieces.
“Hell no!” He looked up and repeated, deadly serious. “Absolutely not.”

Logan opened his mouth to say more, but Dylan spoke up from the side.
