Chapter 368

**Chapter 0368**

**Third Person POV**

Daisy Baldwin stood outside the Cash manor, her red Corvette idling as she waited for Ethan. The moonlight made her blond curls shine, lighting up her face. She wore a pink overcoat that fit her perfectly, adding to her elegance as she stood there, anticipation in the air.

Working with Ethan was never part of her plan. But one evening, he approached her, knowing she wanted Gavin for herself, just like he wanted Judy.

They decided to team up to try to break up their partners.

The moment she saw Ethan coming out of the manor, she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.

With her luggage in hand, she pressed her lips into a thin line and crossed her arms over her chest.

“There better be a good reason why I’m picking you up so late at night and why you have luggage,” she said. “If you think for a second that you can just…”

“You’re staying with me,” she began to say, but he raised his hand to stop her.

He walked over to the trunk of her car and tossed his luggage inside. Then, he made his way to the driver’s seat. She stood there, her mouth hanging open in surprise as she hurried to catch up with him.

“Who do you think you are?!” she screamed. “That’s my car!”

“Get in,” he said firmly, leaving no room for her to argue.

She stared at him in shock, unsure of what to say next. He opened the door, waiting for her to make a move.

The car was in drive, and his eyes burned with intensity as he looked at her.

“I said get in!” he growled again.

She quickly ran around the car and jumped into the passenger seat. Just before she could close the door, he was already revving the engine.

“What is going on, Ethan?” she asked, her heart racing as she gripped the seat. Ethan was driving fast through the streets, weaving in and out of traffic, which made her feel nervous and shaky.

“We’re leaving,” he said, his voice steady despite the chaos around them.

He said firmly, “There’s somewhere we need to be.”

“Want to enlighten me?” she replied, crossing her arms as they waited for the road to clear and the traffic to stop.

He smirked.

“Trust me,” he said.

“Me,” he murmured. “You’re going to like this.”

**Judy’s POV**

Gavn wouldn’t let us go to the club without some of his gamma warriors following us. I shouldn’t have been surprised, especially since his daughter was with us.

The music was loud, and everyone was having a great time. I wasn’t really into dance clubs, and I could tell Sammy felt the same way. She found a quiet spot in the corner and kept sipping on her drink.

I wanted to join her, but I was too tired. Nan and Irene wouldn’t let me sit down.

“This is exactly what we needed,” Nan said with a sigh of relief as she took a long, steady drink.

I took a sip of my drink and nodded in agreement. I lifted my glass in the air for everyone to clink it.

“To forgetting about guys!” I said with a grin. I knew we all needed a break from thinking about them.

They cheered and clinked their glasses in response.

“I’m just…

“I’m going to run to the bathroom,” Irene said, her words a bit slurred from the drinks she had.

I nodded as Nan pulled me back to the dance floor. The music got louder, and we danced like no one was watching. We laughed and swayed, enjoying every moment together.

I raised my drink and realized I hadn’t even thought about where Chester had gone. The last time I saw him, he was sitting at the bar. I started to worry that he might have found a woman and was off having a good time somewhere. If that was true, I felt a mix of concern and jealousy.

It would break Nan’s heart because he was her destined mate. He was meant to be trying to earn her trust.

I didn’t share my concerns. I didn’t want her to panic or doubt herself. She needed to focus on moving on and forgetting him.

It was nighttime, and even though he was right here, it felt different.

“We should check on Sammy,” I said loud enough for her to hear.

Nan nodded, finally getting tired after all that dancing.

As we made our way through the crowd, we looked for Sammy, who was small and easy to miss.

I was surprised to see Chester sitting at a table in the corner with her. They weren’t really talking much. Both of them looked a bit bored, just sipping on their drinks. A comfortable silence hung between them.

“Hey,” I said.

I took a seat next to Chester while Nan chose the empty spot beside Sammy, steering clear of Chester’s wandering gaze.

“Have you been here the whole time?” I asked him, sipping my drink.

“A few minutes ago…”

“I needed to get away,” he admitted. “I went from the bar to here. Some of these women just won’t take no for an answer.”

I noticed Nan tensing up from the corner of my eye. She was trying hard to remain calm.

She looked at him, curious and eager to learn as much as she could.
