"Are you insulting Grandma’s taste, or are you simply projecting your own?"Saunders was speechless.Why was it that this young woman always had a sharp retort ready only for her?She hadn’t said anything when Gwen and Evelyn were making taunts at her.The guests were watching in amusement and Saunders feared that she’d be mocked so she didn’t dare talk back.Gwen saw this and immediately looked at Nova helplessly.“Nova, don’t be angry,” She said softly. “Evelyn and I are sorry for misunderstanding you.”She paused.“But you don’t need to take it out on Aunt Saunders.”The words sounded generous and apologetic.But somehow, they only painted Nova in a bad light.Several guests exchanged knowing looks.Meanwhile, Evelyn looked offended to be told to apologize to Nova.She frowned heavily.“Who’s sorry? Why should I be sorry about it?”Her face was full of dislike as she glared at Nova.A faint smile appeared on Nova’s lips.“Even if you dared to offer one, I wouldn't dare to accept it

Her dress lit up entirely.The diamonds woven into the individual threads caught the chandelier's lightThe effect was subtle yet breathtaking.A quiet stir went through the guests.“Look at her dress.”“Are those diamonds?”“They're woven into the fabric.”“How did we not notice that before?”People who had barely spared Nova a second glance when she arrived were now watching her.The dress was clearly far more than expensive.Its craftsmanship was extraordinary.And because the details were so subtle, the longer people looked, the more they noticed.Whispers began spreading through the ballroom as guests wondered who could have created something like it.Across the room, Gwen stood beneath the chandelier in her own extravagant gown.Her dress was unmistakably expensive and immediately recognizable as the work of one of the country's most celebrated designers. It had been made to command attention the moment she entered a room.And it had until now.Gwen watched as the guests who had

“Gwen.”The soft voice came from the other side of the door. Nova looked up at Lucien. She didn't say anything.Lucien's expression remained completely unchanged. He rose from his executive chair and walked toward the door. When he opened it, he pulled it only wide enough for himself to stand in the doorway.Gwen was standing outside with a small silver tray in her hands. The moment she saw him, a sweet smile appeared on her face. “Lucien, I—” Her gaze instinctively moved past his shoulder, trying to peer into the dim study.Lucien noticed immediately. He took a subtle, yet deliberate step forward. His tall, broad frame completely blocked her view of the room behind him.Gwen couldn't see anything. Not even a fleeting glimpse of the person inside.Lucien looked down at her calmly. “What do you want?”Gwen's smile stiffened slightly. His tone wasn't particularly pleasant, but she maintained that airy, innocent smile on her lips. “I brought you something.” She lifted the tray slight

The dining hall was completely silent.Lucien's father, Richard, stared at him, and his face slowly darkened."Don't play games with me.""I'm not." Lucien picked up his tea. "You said my mother. I'm asking which one you mean. The one you're married to now, or the one you were married to when you brought this one home."Someone's fork touched a plate. In the silence, the sound was very loud.No one dared to intervene.The father and son had always been natural enemies. The moment they appeared in the same place, it was almost never quiet.Saunders's tears stopped halfway down her cheek."You..." Richard's jaw tightened. "I am your father.""Yes.""Then you will show me respect.""I do." Lucien took a sip. "I've never once mentioned where you were on those days ten years ago.""I was working.""You were in Paris with your mistress. It was in the news."Vincent lowered his head and became very interested in the tablecloth.His father took a moment to recover. He knew he couldn't lose f

The fork was still rolling on the table when Gwen looked at Nova.She had called his name while looking at the woman across the table.Nova met her gaze calmly and didn't move.The whole dining hall exploded."Gwen!""Get her water!""Is it the baby? Is it the baby?"Carolyn was already rushing around the table with Evelyn on her heels. Elena half stood, a napkin crushed in her hand. In three seconds, Gwen was surrounded by people, all talking at once.Nova sat in the middle of the noise watching calmly. As a doctor, she had seen too many people in pain. Real pain made a person close their eyes and curl inward, unaware of everyone around them. Gwen's eyes were wide open, and they were aimed at her.Whether the pain was real, Nova couldn't say. But she knew exactly who the charade was meant for.Lucien, however, didn't seem to notice.He was already on his feet. Lucien looked once at Gwen's face and once at the hand on her stomach before calling Hayden.Once the call was answered, he
