Olivia stared at the number on the screen, realizing she hadn’t called Sandalwood Palace or let anyone know where she was. Even so, she wondered why this prompted Tyler to call Claude.
She checked her own phone and saw multiple missed calls from Tyler.
Looking up at Claude, she saw him decline the call before she could stop him. “No! Why did you do that?!”
“I’ll call him later.”
“Maybe he’s calling for me?” she asked hesitantly.
“You didn’t tell him you’re coming here?”
Her face turned pale. She tried calling Tyler back but couldn’t get through. She tried again and again.

Olivia relaxed and continued eating. Claude cleaned up a bit and was about to turn off the lights when they heard a car approaching. They looked outside and saw Tyler’s car’s headlights.
Olivia recognized it and was stunned. Why was he here?
Claude’s hand froze on the light switch, casting them in light.

Olivia shifted nervously as she met his gaze. Claude smiled, about to say something when Tyler marched toward him and punched him in the face.
Claude fell to the ground.
Olivia was too stunned to speak, covering her trembling lips.
Tyler, however, didn’t think it was enough. He grabbed Claude by the collar.
Alarmed, Olivia rushed to stop him. “No! Listen! I asked Claude to bring me back to Sereneville for this! I accidentally missed your call, that’s why! Please don’t hit him!”
Tyler ignored her. “Have you forgotten what I told you? Do you really think you can just pretend nothing’s happened? Have you forgotten what you’ve done, Claude Pearce?!”
