Nonetheless, the Lanes’ clear disdain for Timothy was a welcome sight for Dylan.

At that moment, Connor directed a hostile glance toward Dylan and asked, "And who might you be?"

Feeling uneasy, Dylan promptly clarified, “Hello, Mr. Lane. I work at Ms. Lane's company. She and I had plans for dinner tonight.

"But unexpectedly, Ms. Lane ran into the Bowens in the restroom, and Mrs. Bowen ended up injuring her.”
