One of the young men, Chuck Jones, approached and offered, "Let me see where it got torn. Perhaps I can fix it for you."

As he spoke, he reached out to take off Mia's jacket.

Mia's expression darkened, seemingly ready to react, but someone firmly grabbed Chuck's wrist. In a cold tone, the person roared, "Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on her!"

Mia turned around and saw Timothy standing behind her, feeling relieved at his protective stance.

Chuck's expression shifted abruptly. “Wait, did you say he's a bodyguard from Zalantis?"
