Chapter 124 

After introducing herself, Matilda stepped down from the stage before the audience had a chance to react, disappearing into the crowd with Criss. It was only when they had vanished that everyone seemed to snap out of their trance, murmuring the name Dawn

That night, Dawn became an enchanting dream in everyone’s minds. She was dignified and aloof, her gaze proud. Even though she had faced downfall, she had risen from the ashes time. and again

As long as she still breathed, as long as her convictions held, life was but a chance to start 

anew

Matilda wove through the crowd, soon spotting her friend Chloe arminarm with Declan Yeager as they, too, descended the stage. Chloe flashed Matilda a smile, You’re quite the star tonight.” 

Feeling a touch of shyness, Matilda returned the compliment, You look gorgeous as well

Declan, a man whose presence was always enigmatic, regarded Matilda with the respect one gentleman reserved for another. His light golden eyes, reminiscent of fine amber. acknowledged her presence

Ms. Thompson, a pleasure,he greeted her warmly

Talented women naturally commanded men’s admiration

Grateful for Declan’s past assistance, Matilda shook his hand and grabbed two glasses of champagne from a passing server’s tray. Their glasses clinked, the bubbly liquid shimmering. Thank you for your hospitality last time.” 

Don’t mention it,Declan replied, casually wrapping an arm around Chloe’s waist. They made quite the pair, Declan’s casual elegance complementing Chloe’s charm

Chloe playfully warned, If Mr. Yeager ever tires of me and I’m out on the streets, you’ll take me in, won’t you, Matilda?” 

With a laugh, Matilda replied, Nonsense, Chloe. How could anyone let you go?” 

Exactly. I cherish you too much to ever let you go,Declan said with his usual sardonic grin, causing Chloe to roll her eyes before turning back to Matilda with a warm smile. We’re off to greet some partners. If we’re late wrapping up, let’s grab a latenight bite together.” 

Sounds good,Matilda nodded

Chloe whispered before leaving. Behind you, there’s a guy who’s been watching you for a while 

now.” 

Before Matilda could inquire further, Chloe and Declan were off. Matilda turned, only to lock eyes with Yvan
