Jenkins barely got the words out before Erin chimed in, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "And what good is that promise of yours? If you can't even take back your company, it's not like you have another option. You'll end up joining us anyway."

She popped a peanut into her mouth and walked over casually. "By the way, was that just a threat you threw at Keira? You know she hates being pressured."

Jenkins scowled. "Why are you always around to stir the pot? That wasn't a threat."

"Sure sounded like one to me! Keira, see? I'm the only one who genuinely wants you on our side. Everyone else has their own motives."

Jenkins looked exasperated. "Erin, you're impossible!"

Before she could argue further, Keira raised a hand, cutting them off. "Both of you, stop. Your bickering is giving me a headache."

The two of them immediately quieted down.

Keira turned back to Jenkins. "I'll handle Monbatten—not for you, but because it's necessary for my own plans. As for Clownfish, she'll either surrender or become my enemy."

Jenkins hesitated before nodding. "If you can get Clownfish on your side, make her stop targeting me. Let me go back to my company. I miss it."

Keira rolled her eyes. "Got it."

She never thought Lion would be in such a sorry state.

She barely finished the thought when Erin piped up again, her voice gleeful. "Never thought I'd see such a pitiful Lion. Honestly, 'Lion' was a terrible choice. You should've gone with 'Drenched Cat.'"

Jenkins raised a fist. "Say that again, and I'll—"

Erin smirked, tilting her head smugly. "What? You gonna hit me? You think you could?"

With that, she flicked her hair and sauntered off, her head held high.
