Fear flashed across her face.
"Vincent, don't do this. Please listen to me!"
Her voice cracked into a sob as she tried to pull free, but the guards' grip never loosened.
"Are you angry with me? Vincent, please!" she cried, stumbling as they dragged her toward the door. "I didn't mean it! I swear I didn't mean it! Please don't do this to me!"
Tears streamed endlessly down her face as she twisted around to look at him, desperately hoping he would stop them.
But Vincent remained completely unmoved.
He stood where he was with one hand in his pocket and his gaze fixed elsewhere, as though she didn't even exist. Her cries echoed through the room, but not once did he look in her direction.
The indifference hurt far more than anger ever could.
"Vincent!"
Her voice became shrill with panic.
"Please! Please listen to me!"
The guards dragged her through the doorway despite her struggles.
A second later, the door shut behind her.
Silence immediately settled over the room.
Vincent exhaled slowly through his nose before turning toward the lawyer seated nearby.
Lifting an eyebrow, he asked, "What about the engagement cancellation documents? The cancellation can still be stopped, right?"
The lawyer immediately straightened in his chair.
"Yes, Mr. Jacobs."
He quickly flipped through the stack of documents before him, adjusting his glasses as he reviewed the paperwork.
"Since the official legal proceedings haven't been completed yet, the cancellation can still be withdrawn. The process hasn't been finalized by the court, which means you can reverse the decision at any time before that happens."
Vincent listened quietly, his expression gradually easing as the lawyer continued explaining the details.
The tension that had been carved into his features slowly disappeared. By the time the explanation ended, the corner of his lips had already lifted slightly.
"Good."
The single word left his mouth as he gave a satisfied nod.
Then he turned toward Griffin.
Griffin was already standing nearby with his phone in hand. The moment their eyes met, Griffin casually lifted the device.
"I've already sent the video to Juliet."
Vincent's eyes brightened almost immediately.
His posture relaxed, and some of the coldness lingering around him finally faded.
"She has it?"
