Chapter 414
Wendy knew Stanley would never approve of Halsey getting involved with Dwight.
Wendy raised an eyebrow, clearly irritated. “Mr. Hawk, you’re really overstepping, What does Halsey’s business have to do with you?”
Stanley shot her a sharp look. “Had enough fun? If you’re done, I’ll take you home.”
With that, Stanley grabbed Wendy’s slender arm and started pulling her away.
Cecelia called out from behind, “Wendy! Mr. Hawk!”
Dwight had gone backstage to change. He didn’t come to this place often, but he had to admit–it was incredibly profitable.
He had pulled off his torn white tank top and was about to slip into a black hoodie when the door behind him suddenly opened.
Dwight’s piercing gaze darted to the intruder. “Who’s there?”
Halsey, having followed him in, was startled to find Dwight standing there topless.
Her pale face flushed bright red, and she immediately covered her face with both hands, letting out a small gasp.
Dwight quickly pulled the hoodie over his head, grabbed his bag, and turned to leave. He wasn’t planning on speaking to Halsey; he treated her like she was invisible.
But Halsey stepped right in front of him. “Are you going to pretend you don’t know me?”
Dwight paused, his voice cold. “Move.”
Halsey didn’t budge.
He moved left, and she followed. When he moved right, she mirrored. No matter what he did, she kept blocking
his way.
She placed her hands on her hips, a defiant look on her face. “I’ll move after you talk to me.”
Dwight’s patience snapped. He reached out, grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, and, with ease, yanked her aside like she weighed nothing.
Halsey, now dangling a few inches off the ground, wondered whether he was even human. His strength was mind- boggling.
Dwight dropped her and walked out the door.
Halsey quickly scrambled to her feet and chased after him. Dwight’s tall, commanding figure was already lost in the crowd.
“Dwight? Dwight, wait up!” Halsey called, pushing her way through.
Dwight wasn’t interested in wasting any more time with Halsey. He didn’t want to get involved with her. At this hour, he was ready to go home.
Just as he stepped outside the bar, a sleek, luxury car was waiting for him. Several well–trained bodyguards in black suits blocked his path.

Chapter 414
“Hello, sir. Ms. Lohan would like to meet with you.”
A wealthy woman had tracked Dwight down and now insisted on meeting him.
Dwight’s face remained stoic. “I’m not interested.”
One of the bodyguards smiled. “Ms. Lohan said if you’re not willing to meet her, she’ll settle for meeting your family. She can find them easily enough.”
Dwight stopped in his tracks.
The bodyguard continued, “It’s an honor for someone like Ms. Lohan to take an interest in you. If you serve her well, you’ll never have to worry about money again. You won’t even have to lift a finger. So, young man, you should cherish this opportunity.”
With that, the bodyguard opened the car door. “Get in.”
Dwight’s eyes flashed with coldness, but he still climbed into the car.
The car sped off.
Halsey had been watching from a distance and immediately spotted Dwight getting into the car. Without a second thought, she hailed a cab. “Follow that car in front of us, and make it quick.”
Half an hour later, Dwight was dropped off at the presidential suite of a six–star hotel, where a woman in her forties, still beautifully maintained and full of charm, was waiting for him.
Her name was Penny Lohan.
Penny looked Dwight up and down with approval, her lips curling into a satisfied smile. “You always wore a mask before, so I couldn’t see your face. I didn’t expect you to be so handsome.”
