Nyla looked at Damon in surprise and asked, "You went to an auction last week?""A client of mine has a thing for antique auctions. There happened to be one in the city, so I attended with them to show goodwill. I saw a necklace I liked and thought I'd save it for your birthday," Damon explained."Then why are you giving it to me in advance?" she asked."I'm going to give it to you anyway. Giving it to you now is the same," he replied.Nyla felt a wave of warmth, and her smile widened, revealing her dimples. "Thank you, Damon."Damon raised an eyebrow, wrapping an arm around her waist. His tone was teasing. "Just a verbal thank you?"Nyla's face flushed as she asked, "How else would you want me to thank you?"Damon's gaze shifted to her lips, his voice dropping suggestively. "By mouth works.""Huh?" She looked up, only to find Damon's face suddenly closer. Before she knew it, his lips were on hers.Nyla's eyes widened, her hands gripping his jacket. She felt a jolt of electric

Despite the murmurs, no one dared approach Damon or Nyla directly to ask about them, choosing instead to discuss and steal admiring glances from afar. After all, Damon had not been close to any woman in the past five years.The fiancee he had had was essentially a one-sided affair, and their engagement had been called off not long ago.Nyla's calm and graceful demeanor, despite the glances and attention directed her way, only enhanced her appeal.Damon guided her toward Pedro to offer their birthday wishes. Afterward, as they turned to leave, they ran into Nathaniel and Rebecca.When Nyla saw Nathaniel, she paused, surprised by how much he had changed in five years—he looked like a completely different person, his formerly vibrant energy now nowhere to be found.As they passed, a chilling aura surrounded him, causing Nyla to shiver involuntarily.Neither Nathaniel nor Rebecca acknowledged them, and Damon seemed equally indifferent, treating them as if they weren't there.Nyla gl

The maid, Pauline Gundy, went pale and dropped to her knees abruptly. "Mr. Hackett, I have elderly parents and a daughter in university. My husband passed away in a car accident a few years ago. Without this job, my family will have no income. Please, have mercy on me!"Tears streamed down her face as her whole body shook with fear.Gabriel's expression remained cold and silent.Pauline's eyes darted toward Nyla, and she pleaded tearfully, "Ms. Kinsey, please, have mercy on me. I can't afford to lose this job. I beg you!"Before Nyla could respond, nearby guests began murmuring."She seems so pitiful. Maybe they should let it slide this time.""It's difficult for a woman to be the sole breadwinner for her entire family. Everyone makes mistakes. We should be forgiving.""It wasn't intentional. If they keep pressing the issue, it just makes them seem petty."Nyla's face turned frosty. It was easy for the crowd to act self-righteous—they weren't the ones who had nearly fallen onto

Once alone, Nyla quickly changed into the white dress, though it was a bit loose around her waist. She took a safety pin from her purse to cinch it. Then, picking up her original dress, she left the dressing room.When Jane saw Nyla in the white gown, her smile faltered even more. If Nyla had resembled a mermaid in the ocean earlier, she now looked as ethereal and untouchable as moonlight, her beauty strikingly cold and pure.Jane clenched and unclenched her hands before praising, "Ms. Kinsey, you really do look beautiful in anything. This dress suits you well!"Not missing the flash of envy in Jane's eyes, Nyla smirked. "Really? I have you to thank, Ms. Wilkie. I appreciate the loan.""You're welcome. Let's head back down," Jane replied.As they walked back to the main hall, guests took in the contrast between Jane's bold red gown and Nyla's elegant white one. In comparison, Jane's dress now seemed gaudy, almost overdone, while Nyla shone with understated elegance.Jane’s smile

Sitting at the center of the living room, Pedro surveyed his family with a hard gaze, his eyes finally settling on Jane.This granddaughter of his was typically flawless, whether in business or personal matters. She was the one he'd entrusted with organizing his birthday celebration."Jane, you were in charge of the party. Since Pauline pushed Ms. Kinsey, I want you to get to the bottom of it and give Mr. Sumner and Ms. Kinsey a satisfactory answer," Pedro announced.Jane took a few steps forward and glanced at Pauline, who was cowering on the floor. She began, "Grandpa, Pauline claims she accidentally bumped into Ms. Kinsey. She denies any outside influence, and there were so many people around today—"She didn't get to finish before Damon cut her off icily. "Are you saying that my girlfriend intentionally staged this scene to frame the Wilkies?"Meeting Damon's gaze, Jane replied calmly, "Mr. Sumner, that's not what I meant. I'm only suggesting that this incident might truly hav
