Trevor cast a worried glance at Loraine. He knew Paige was vindictive; if she genuinely had a connection with
Rowan, she would never let
Loraine off the hook.
However, Paige was promptly rebuffed by the soldier.
Maintaining a respectful distance, the soldier stood at attention.
“Apologies, but I'm Hubert Vance, Mr. Torres’ assistant. You've mistakenfor someone else.”
The onlookers suddenly realized that Paige had no idea who Rowan was, nor did she know what he looked like.
Pretty soon, they were all glaring at her with disdain.

Paige’s froze for a moment before she recovered, forcing a sheepish smile. “Oh, it's you, Mr. Vance. Well, when
you get a chance, please convey my admiration to Mr. Torres for me.”

She attempted to leave a positive impression on Hubert, but he merely furrowed his brow at her and proceeded
to ignore her advances.
Instead, Hubert walked past her and approached Loraine, offering a salute.
“Miss Torres, the commander sends his regards.”
Trevor, standing behind them, widened his eyes in shock as he looked back and forth between Loraine and
Hubert, his neck almost craning from the effort.
He knew better than anyone the significance of the Cheetah Command and what it meant for Hubert to salute
Loraine like that!
No wonder Loraine’s file had been encrypted. She was related to Rowan.
Trevor felt fortunate that he hadn't disregarded Loraine because she hadn't revealed her identity.
Paige, on the other hand, gaped in disbelief.
“Loraine, you know Mr.
Torres?”

Judging by Hubert’s deferential attitude, Loraine’s relationship with
Rowan must be close.
Rowan was an enigmatic figure, with limited public information.
However, rumors had it that he was still single. Paige's thoughts naturally wandered down a more scandalous
path.
She glanced at Marco and probed further.
“Loraine, what's your relationship with Mr. Torres? Even though you've divorced Marco, you still appear at every
event with your ex-husband and are supposedly involved with Mr. Torres. Aren’t you afraid they'll become
upset?”
