?Chapter 919:


    Dn consented! The attendees were left gaping, and within an instant, the room erupted in astonished chatter. Every gaze widened in disbelief, and a few even suspected their ears had deceived them.


    “Did I hear that right? Dn agreed? Isn’t he notorious for avoiding contact with people?”


    “Exactly! I remember anyone attempting to get close to him was swiftly shown the door.”


    “This is history in the making! Dn actually agreed to dance—thisdy must be extraordinary! But who exactly did he agree to dance with?”


    The crowd murmured feverishly, voices ovepping in low spection.


    It took Brendon and hispanions a moment to recover from their shock.


    “No way… That’s not possible! How could Dn consent to dance with either of them? If I had known he’d agree, I’d have asked first!” Katie stamped her heel against the floor in irritation.


    Katie couldn’t ept it. Dn held such prestige, yet fortune hadnded on one of those two women. Christina and Lorraine both ranked high on her list of dislikes, and the notion that either of them could secure such an exclusive chance to waltz with Dn gnawed at her. The firstdy Dn danced with, even if others followed, would always be remembered as having struck gold.


    Ynda burned with silent jealousy, masking it under a fragile poise while curling into Brendon’s arm with practiced affection. “Mr. Scott must be nning to dance with only one person. Perhaps it’s Christina,” she whispered. Katie wished neither Christina nor Lorraine would be the pick, biting back her bitterness in silence.


    “She’s divorced, so she’s hardly qualified to dance with Mr. Scott. My guess is the woman next to her,” Brendon remarked coolly, unable to pinpoint the source of his envy.


    Ever since Christina had walked away from him, her existence had only seemed to climb higher, attracting prominent suitors. Was it possible for a divorcee like her to…

    Capture Dn’s attention? Impossible! Dn would never take Christina onto the floor.


    Brendon’s stare locked onto Christina, his grip on the wine ss tightening until the skin across his knuckles nched.<fn6832> Original content can be found at find?novel</fn6832>


    The crowd’s expressions were a blend of longing, malice, and covetousness. Several high-society women shared Katie’s sentiment. They imagined Dn had shifted his preferences, now seeking femalepany, which allowed those two daring women to im their moment.


    Convinced that Dn had agreed to dance with her, Lorraine felt a rush of tion, nearly breaking into an unrestrained grin beneath the silver mask. If she secured Dn’s interest, what weight would Robin carry? In heritage, looks, physique, and business acumen, Dn was unmatched.


    Lorraine let her mind drift to her imaginary future life. With Dn enchanted by her, she wouldn’t need to tolerate Kurt’s disapproval or pursue the aloof Robin. She could crush anyone who dared treat her with disdain, as if grinding a crawling insect beneath her heel.
