    They made their way back into the crowd, carefully scanning the room for their parents. Once Ethan spotted them, he gently guided Layla in their direction.The hall was still filled with soft murmurs as guests admired the artwork.As they drew closer, Layla suddenly stopped.Her jaw dropped, her eyes widening in disbelief.For a moment, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.There was no way…No way they were standing in her gallery, just a few meters away from her.She had once mentioned wanting to meet them, but she never truly believed it would happen.“Ms. Layla, please come forward.”One of them spoke, gesturing warmly.Layla tried to move, but her legs felt heavy, almost unresponsive, as though they were carrying her instead.Step by step, she moved closer.“Your father has said so much about you,” one of them continued. “I must admit, I had my doubts… until I saw these remarkable pieces. They speak volumes.”“Thank you so much,” Layla replied, her voice filled with em

    Aiden stepped into the hall, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for someone.Ryan.He spotted him just as he was making his way toward the podium, where his sister was addressing the crowd.
