Bab 38: Misunderstood Intentions.

"Leone?" Evelina whispered, her voice barely audible over the rain.

Leone's eyes didn't waver, dark and unreadable as they settled on Liam. "I asked you a question," he said, his words slow and deliberate, each one measured like a predator circling its prey. "What is it that you doubt?"

Liam's eyes widened as he saw Leone. 'Leone Hargrave this is my first time seeing him in person he is much more intimidating '

Leone took another step closer, his tailored suit somehow untouched by the relentless downpour, while Liam, drenched and visibly unnerved, struggled to maintain his composure.

"I asked you a question," Leone repeated, his tone low and dangerous, with no hint of warmth. "Or are you too cowardly to answer?"

Liam cleared his throat, forcing a tight, polite smile. "Mr. Hargrave," he began, his voice faltering slightly. "I... I wasn't doubting anything. I was just speaking with Evelina. It's nothing for you to worry about."
