Ginnie’s gaze flicked between the two of them. With a polite smile that barely masked her intent, she stepped
forward and said with a hint of sarcasm, “Ms. Sloane certainly attracts people. Even someone as emotionally
distant as Mr. Whitney seems deeply concerned about you.”
Her words instantly soured the air. Everyone present frowned.
Larry’s expression darkened. “Ginnie, you don’t knowwell enough to make comments like that. Don’t
pretend you understand who | am.”
Her smile faltered. She forced a chuckle, trying to ease the tension. “Mr. Whitney, | was only joking. Please don’t
take it personally.”

“We're not close. Don’t joke with me,” Larry replied coolly, his voice sharp.
Jill, never fond of Ginnie, grabbed Sloane and pulled her away to explore the vineyard. After a trip to the
restroom, she returned to find Samson wandering on his own.
“What are you doing here by yourself?” she asked.
Samson scowled. “Benjamin got pulled back to do another emergency surgery.”
Jill nodded in understanding, then took the chance to dig a little deeper. “You've known Lucas forever. You must
know all kinds of stuff about him, right?”
Samson narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “What are you getting at now?”
She tugged on his arm playfully. “Don’t be like that! | just want to know-there’s a rumor going around that Lucas

Ginnie back in the day. But it’s complicated. | can’t explain it all right now. Just promise me- don’t tell Sloane,”
“What? So it’s kind of true?” Jill scrunched her nose in displeasure. “And you think Sloane won't find out it ! don’t
tell her? Get real.”
She fumed “And Lucas-if he’s still tangled up with Ginnie, why is he running after Sloane again? What a jerk. I'm

Meanwhile, Ginnie had grown restless from not seeing Lucas around. Just as she was about to leave, she spotted
Larry searching for someone. A glint of calculation flashed in her eyes.
She hurried over, smiling with feigned warmth. “Mr. Whitney, what a coincidence. Fancy running into you
here.”
Larry glanced at her, his voice flat. “Ms. Ginnie. Something you need?”
She gave a small, knowing smile. “I couldn't help but notice how attentive you are to Ms. Sloane.”
Larry’s gaze sharpened. His tone turned cold. “That's my business, not yours. Don’t concern yourself with
ie.”
