The conference room emptied slowly, the government officials sagging with visible relief.
The tension that had permeated the air during the meeting dissipated as Selene and Ethan left the building.
Selene plastered a smile on her face to try and put these officials at ease.
The lead official wiped his brow with a trembling hand, grateful that the confrontation had not escalated into outright violence.
His colleagues murmured among themselves, trading reassurances that the worst had passed.
But no one could be sure when it came to awaken. Especially between ones as powerful as Ethan and Valeria…no, the Vale family.
"Thank god! We'd be dead if they fought in here."
Someone muttered.
The lead official nodded, still pale.
"We need to keep them both in check. Send word to maintain distance—no one gets involved with either of them without explicit orders."
