Carolina’s expression and posture seemed way off the chart

Chloe frowned uncomfortably.

“This is the lady of the Summers family? Damn… she looks even more stunning than what I’veheard!”

Connor, standing aside, suddenly spoke with a grin.

He knew the rumors about Chloe, of course.

But he never expected Chloe to be this gorgeous.

Connor’s eyes behind his gold rimmed glasses unabashedly took in Chios

Stunning!

Absolutely stunning!

Especially her refreshing and clean unique aura, something no other woman could replicate

That noble aura, seemingly approachable yet untouchable, was indeed heart fluttering

Carolina at the side saw through Connor’s thoughts and smiled satisfied

However, Chloe remained silent. Carolina’s face changed.

“Chloe! Mr. Jewell is talking to you, didn’t you hear?!”

Carolina reprimanded Chloe in a low voice, her eyes full of warning

Chloe’s eyes suddenly turned icy, meeting Carolina’s gaze head–on.

Carolina felt a chill run down her spine.

Connor’s gaze lingered on Chloe’s cold yet beautiful face, her icy demeanor piqued his interesteven more.

“Hey, Carolina, don’t be too harsh.”

Carolina pulled a stiff smile, “Mr. Jewell, sorry for the scene, my granddaughter can be quite ahandful.”

“What’s the big deal, it just shows Ms. Summers‘ uniqueness.”

Carolina chuckled and turned her head, only to see Chloe was pulled aside by Rose Davis.

Connor’s gaze stayed on Chloe’s retreating figure, a smug smile playing at his lips.

Keira found out from a waiter that Lance was on the terrace in the corridor.

She gently walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist, her body pressed againsthis back.

“Lance…”

Lance frowned, glanced at the hands suddenly appeared around his waist, and slowly turnedaround.

“Why are you here, aren’t you cold?”

Keira asked him cautiously, but got no reply from Lance.

“Lance, do you love me?”

Keira bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears.

Lance’s gaze grew complicated, he didn’t expect her to ask this out of the blue.

*… You know what? I feel really insecure. I knew about your engagement with Chloe, but I still fellfor you. I want to do my best, to make everyone believe I’m the one who deserves to be with you.

I thought tonight was the moment to prove it all, but I didn’t expect Chloe to show up at the partywith such stunning and high–headed attitude.

Everyone was fascinated by her, including you!

Lance, did you realize how you looked at her tonight? Every glance you threw at her was like a knifestabbing into my heart.

I just want to be with you at all costs, I don’t want to lose you. Lance, I’m scared, I’m reallyscared…”

Keira’s tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke.

Lance’s heart ached with pain and sympathy.

At the party, despite all the humiliation, Keira didn’t shed a tear

But now, when no one was around, she cried her heart out.

Her words struck his heart one by one, causing him pain and guilt.

He couldn’t deny what Keira had just said, he had to admit, his heart did flutter for Chloe tonight.

Wiping away the tears on Keira’s face, Lance sighed, “Stop crying. Your makeup is all smeared,you’re not pretty anymore.”

Keira shook her head, “I’m not pretty anymore. Tonight… tonight… I lost all my dignity, whether Ishould have or shouldn’t have. I’m even about to lose you, do I still care about being pretty?”

“What are you talking about, when did I say I don’t want you?” Lance felt helpless, yet his tone wasfull of affection

Keira stepped forward, her thin arms gently wrapping around his neck, pressing her curvaceousbody against his broad chest. With tear filled eyes, she looked at him, tiptoed, and gently kissedLance’s lips…
