Chapter 1476:
Nyla was still stunned. “Wait a second!”
“Is there something you didn’t understand?” Melvin asked without missing a beat.
“What did you mean by that?” Nyla’s voice was shaky, like she needed confirmation.
“Jessica was the light and warmth of my youth,” Melvin said, calm as ever. “She’s the one I'd protect with my
life. If any of you dare hurt her again, | won't stay quiet.”
And with that, he walked out, still holding Jessica's hand.
The air in the room felt heavy and still.
Anyone who had planned to stir up trouble immediately backed off. They all understood the weight of those
words. Melvin loved Jessica deeply.
“Was he actually being serious?” Bianca asked, looking between Rena and Nyla, clearly shaken.
“He was,” Nyla replied quietly, her eyes dim with something unreadable. “I've seen that kind of look and tone
before. It was obvious—]essica had been someone special to Melvin all along.”

That kind of gaze, that kind of protection... Nyla had once known it too.
“Are you okay, Nyla?” Bianca and Rena glanced over, concern etched on their faces.
“Why are you all staring atlike that? I've already moved on,” Nyla answered with a light smile, though her
eyes gave her away. That chapter was over.
Neither Rena nor Bianca said anything. They had long ditched their fake boyfriends and now sat drinking in
silence.
“So what's the plan with Melvin now?” Bianca asked after a while.
“He and Jessica are a solid match,” Nyla said quietly, her expression unreadable. “I really do hope they last.”
Bianca and Rena shared a glance, then gently raised their glasses and clinked them against Nyla’s.
Nyla took a slow sip, tipsy enough for her words to slip. “Why couldn't he have had Melvin’s kind of backbone?”

“Men like Melvin are a rare breed,” Rena murmured as she traced the rim of her glass. “Most guys throw love
away the moment reality gets in the way—one second it's forever, and the next it’s all about clout.”
“Yeah,” Bianca added, a somber note in her voice.
“When it comes to power and status, even money takes a backseat,” Nyla muttered, her voice thick with regret.
“I should've known the choice he'd make.”

“Exactly!” Nyla raised her glass and clinked it against theirs.
