After the movie, they retreated to their respective hotels.

On the second day, Sabrina and Bradley made an arrangement to return to Mathias together.

Casual chatter kept them engaged as they shared the same flight.

"Do you plan to head straight home after getting off?" Bradley queried.

“Where else would I go? Aren't you heading home?"

"I have a party to attend. Perhaps, you might be aware."

“What party are you referring to?"

"It's Galilea's birthday celebration."

“Isn't Galilea badly burnt?" Sabrina asked.

Bradley answered, "I visited her the day following the incident. It wasn't grave."

"Alright."

Then why did Eddie paint the picture as if Galilea were at death's door?

"You are free right now. How about you accompany me?" Bradley suggested.

"I don't believe that's a good idea."

Tyrone was bound to be at Galilea's birthday party.

Seeing him was the last thing Sabrina wanted right now.

“What's stopping you? The invite clearly states we're allowed a plus one. Tyrone is your brother, and Galilea could potentially be your sister-in-law. You have every right to be there. Just like the press conference, the more you avoid the press, the more they'll stir up speculation.”

Sabrina averted her gaze, her lips tightly pressed together.

Bradley, observing her, continued, "I heard that Tyrone has spared no expense for the birthday party. The venue was meticulously designed by a renowned international designer. The dress Galilea will be wearing is a limited-edition piece that was air-freighted. Even the birthday cake was specially crafted by a famous baker. Don't you want to see it for yourself?"

Sabrina's eyes seemed to darken further.
