Without a word, he lowered his cigar, slipping it back into his pocket. His voice took on a sharp edge as he snapped at the bodyguards. "Didn't you hear Mr. Webster? Release Ms. Campbell immediately. You blind fools dared to lay hands on a member of the Morrison family? Consider your wages docked for the month." The bodyguards immediately released Carrie, their expressions shifting from disdain to sudden respect. Morrison family? The realization hit them like a truck.
One of the bodyguards swallowed hard before stammering, "Ms. Campbell, we-we didn't know. We were fools " Carrie ignored them. She had no tfor their pathetic attempts to save face. She grabbed Kyson's arm and pointed toward the private room. "Kyson, Camille is in there!" Kyson didn't move. Instead, he looked over his shoulder at the man behind him. "Mr. Duffy, what do you think?" Britton Duffy wasn't just anyone-he was the most trusted confidant of the behind-the-scenes owner of this entire establishment. Britton didn't cfrom power or wealth himself, but the man he worked for? That man was untouchable. Anyone who wanted to survive in Isonridge showed Britton the utmost respect, because respecting him meant respecting his boss.
Kyson hadn't called him. He had simply run into him at the entrance. Or at least, that was what Kyson had thought at first. This wasn't a place Kyson frequented. But as he stood there, reading Britton's expression, he couldn't shake the feeling that Britton's presence here wasn't a coincidence at all.

Kristopher observed the unfolding scene with a detached expression, as if he were merely an outsider. He began walking toward his private quarters, but as he turned, his gaze briefly met Britton's.
In that brief moment, Britton grasped Kristopher's intent.
Britton swiftly kicked the bodyguard standing before him. "Why are you just standing there? Didn't you hear that Ms. Campbell's friend is inside? Lead the way quickly." The bodyguard looked uncertain, then hesitated before stepping forward. "Mr. Duffy, the person inside is that foreigner..." Britton's face momentarily betrayed his concern, but he quickly thought of Kristopher. Who could be more intimidating than Kristopher?
With a dismissive wave and a stern face, he commanded, "It doesn' matter who it is. Take Ms. Campbell to her desired location."
The bodyguards' faces visibly changed. Normally, Britton was diplomatic in handling matters, never e choosing sides outright. In Britton's view, both parties were valuable clients and it was unnecessary to provoke either. Witnessing Britton's firm stance, Kyson urged Carrie, saying, "Let's hurry over there."
They reached the private room's door swiftly, and Carrie pushed it open without hesitation, calling out, "Camille!"
