Before Vessara could say anything, Razen exchanged a look with the makeup artist.From Vessara's perspective, it looked like they were passing some kind of secret signal.Still, there was something oddly awkward about Razen's expression.Was something wrong?She thought about it for quite a while but couldn't figure it out. In the end, she simply gave up and stayed silent.After a quick touch-up, Vessara got into Razen's car, and the two of them headed together toward the charity gala.As night fell, the event officially began.The banquet hall buzzed with activity. Guests moved about constantly, discussing business matters or sharing private conversations. Overall, the atmosphere remained peaceful and orderly.Martin led Selena through the crowd, greeting people and networking whenever possible. He never noticed that the look in his daughter's eyes had long since turned venomous."Dad, how much longer d

A moment later, the lights throughout the ballroom blazed back to life, illuminating a single figure standing center stage.The woman wore a form-fitting red bodycon dress that highlighted her graceful silhouette. Her smile was captivating, and her eyes sparkled with warmth and charm.The moment she spoke, her voice sent a pleasant shiver through the audience.Welcome, everyone, to tonight's charity gala. We'd also like to thank all the generous donors in attendance. All proceeds from this evening's auction will be donated to children in remote regions, and through your generosity, hope and kindness will reach them as well.The hostess spoke at length, but when she noticed the growing impatience among the guests, she wisely brought her introduction to an end.Her gaze drifted toward the auction gavel beside her.The contrast between her delicate fingers and the wooden gavel was striking.As her slender hand gripped the handle and brou

Martin spoke through gritted teeth, keeping his voice low enough that only Selena could hear."We'll discuss this after we leave."Instinctively, Selena clenched her fists. She wanted to explain herself, but the words refused to come out. All she could do was watch helplessly as anxiety tightened around her heart.At that moment, Vessara happened to glance back at her.Seeing the defeated look on Selena's face, she merely curled her lips into a faint smile and uttered one word."Idiot."Selena's eyes widened. She wanted nothing more than to rush over and demand an explanation.But Vessara was seated in the front row.How was she supposed to get there?Like a flower that had suddenly wilted, Selena sank into silence.Unexpectedly, a few moments later, Vessara rose from her seat and headed outside.Selena immediately followed.The two stopped near the restroom corridor.Turning around, Vessara l

Alyssa raised an eyebrow and casually glanced at the guests whispering among themselves in the back rows before turning to Vessara."What do you think this Barclay family daughter is really like? For Uncle Barclay to go to such lengths and build momentum for her at an event like this...""I have no idea." Vessara shook her head.There was no way she could answer that question.Fortunately, Alyssa didn't press the issue. She simply sighed and shook her head."I honestly don't get it. But now I'm curious about her. She must be quite extraordinary if Uncle Barclay treasures her this much. Someone capable of earning that kind of treatment has to have something special about her. I'll have to meet her myself next month."Looking at the determined smile on Alyssa's face, Vessara forced a twitch of a smile.She had even less idea what to say now.In the end, she wisely chose silence.As the gala drew to a close, the excitement

Compared to his earlier reserved demeanor, Roy looked noticeably more relaxed now.Watching him from the side, Vessara felt somewhat reassured.Still, she couldn't help reminding him,"You've been with me for years. You should know by now that I'm used to having you around. There's no need for you to worry about those things."Roy pressed his lips together.It looked as though he wanted to say something.But in the end, he never did.The midday sun blazed overhead.The moment Emilia stepped out of her car, she hurried into the shopping mall.Glancing at the time on her phone, she frowned again.That woman always claimed she was helping.Always said everything she did was for Emilia's benefit.Yet none of her suggestions had actually solved anything.Unfortunately, Emilia had no better options.As she watched Vessara move closer and closer to officially rejoining the Barclay famil
