Chapter 920:
Lorraine lifted her chin in victory, her stance tall with satisfaction, the face behind her mask exuding arrogance. After this evening, the Reynolds name wouldmand respect from all. Christina could brace herself for ruin!
Without warning, Dn shifted.
Lorraine’s pulse quickened as she watched his graceful arm extend outward at a measured pace. It appeared he was moments away from epting her proposition of a dance!
Everyone present fixed their gaze on Dn’s outstretched hand, holding their breath in tense anticipation.
The very next moment, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd as Dn took hold of one particr hand. All the guests stood frozen, mouths agape in shock.
“Mr. Scott chose the woman in the clown mask! Who is she? How could she possess such charm?”
“Charm? She was simply in the right ce when Mr. Scott cravedpany. Any other attractive woman could have been chosen.”
“I know who she is! She’s the divorced woman entangled with Robin, isn’t she? And now she’s here trying to tempt Mr. Scott! How utterly shameless!” Some guests watched Christina with envy, while others—those who had seen the scene unfold outside the hall earlier—remembered Robin’s fierce protectiveness toward Christina immediately.
Those unaware of the full story began whispering among themselves. When they learned that Christina was the cast-off ex-wife of the Dawson family with a reputation for flirting with men, their contempt and jealousy deepened.
Behind her silver mask, Lorraine’s smile faltered. Her expression grew rigid the instant she saw Dn’s hand sped around Christina’s. This couldn’t be happening! Dn was meant to ept her invitation! Why on earth would he choose Christina, a disgraceful woman?
???????????????????? ?????????????? ???????? g????????ν?????????????
At that moment, the strains of romantic music filled the air.
Christina and Dn glided together onto the dance floor, moving in step with the lilting rhythm.
Christina became the focal point of envious stares as she followed Dn’s lead in the dance area.
No one dared to join them, fearing they might upset Dn. They could only admire from the sidelines.
Ynda clenched her teeth, forcing her gentle smile to remain in ce. How could Christina be so fortunate, bing the first woman to share such close contact with Dn in full view of everyone?
Brendon’s eyes zed with jealousy as he watched the pair in the center of the dance floor. Dn had actually agreed to dance with Christina! He could not exin the restless unease within him. She was supposed to be dancing with him.
Wasn’t she? Wasn’t she supposed to be doing everything in her power to win him back? How could she have moved on so quickly? This wasn’t how things were supposed to be.
Brendon’s fists clenched tightly, his teeth grinding as his gaze burned with conflicting emotions. A surge of bitterness welled up inside him, stirring memories of the past. The Christina he knew had never been like this—she had always ced him above everything else. She had even tried to improve her dreadful cooking, failing every time yet never ceasing her efforts for his sake.
