As the paparazzi swarmed in, the bodyguards stepped up to block their path, while William was also on the lookout for any cameras.

“Sorry, we’ve already stated, no photographs,” William’s voice took.
on a grave tone.
Hearing William’s directive, the press reluctantly withdrew their
cameras.
Throughout this, Ethan was shielding Madison behind him.
Madison, unaccustomed to wearing such long dresses, feared
tripping over her hem and becoming the subject of ridicule at Ethan’s
expense.
Ethan’s public appearances were so rare that even without the possibility of snapping photos, the media were keen to catch a glimpse of this luminary of the business world.
Indeed, when they got a close look at Ethan, even the male journalists had to admit that the man was strikingly…
Dazzling.

Naturally, this made the woman by Ethan’s side all the more enigmatic to them.
Amidst the growing crowd, Ethan instinctively wrapped an arm around Madison’s waist, “Just stick with me, don’t be afraid. Stand tall, puff out your chest. If you feel like smiling, smile; if not, keep your

face cool. Nobody dares say a word against you.”
With that, Ethan shifted his grip, taking her hand firmly in his.
Under countless flashing lights, Ethan led the mystery woman by the hand, entering the venue amid the stares of celebrities and guests
alike.
Lucas had not intended to pay attention.
But when he overheard the surrounding female stars whispering,” Who’s that woman?”
“What a pretty profile.”
“She has a nice figure too.”
“I bet she’s gorgeous head-on. The leading actress in the first row said she’s prettier than some ice queen in the circle, just a bit less smiley.”
These comments made Lucas look up.
And that glance almost had him standing up on the spot.
It was Madison!
Even from a seemingly insignificant profile, he could recognize her!

w had she come to be mixed up with the chairman of Mukino International?
For a moment, Lucas couldn’t help but speculate.
Had Madison been secretly liaising with other men all this time?
Is that why she had agreed so readily when he suggested divorce?

Blinded by the dazzling lights of the inner venue, Sophia failed to notice the change in Lucas’ expression.
“She’s beautiful. Worthy of being the woman that the chairman of Mukino International personally escorts. I heard the chairman rarely attends such events. Could this be his first official appearance? Maybe she’s his girlfriend or fiancée?”
“Nobody knows for sure.”
In the front row.
Ethan personally adjusted Madison’s gown before letting her sit down, only then taking a seat beside her.
The chairmen on either side, who knew Ethan well, wasted no time in striking up conversations.
“President Grant’s companion has quite the presence, a perfect match for you.”
“Remember to let us know if you have any good news, President
Grant.”
No matter what the others said, Ethan responded with a polite thank

As Ethan whispered in Madison’s ear, this intimate scene was captured for all to see.

“Wow!”
Whispers of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
First, they were amazed at the youthful and handsome image of Mukino International’s chairman, and second, they were captivated by the woman in the black velvet dress, so gentle and elegant in her profile.
It was that very glimpse that finally allowed Sophia to recognize her.
It was… it was Madison?!
Sophia’s eyes were wide open in shock as she instinctively turned to
look at Lucas next to her.
There he was, fists clenched so tightly they creaked, with a blaze of fury in his eyes.
Sophia gritted her teeth; she couldn’t confront Lucas about this here
and now.
Was he still preoccupied with that Madison?
Clearly, Madison must have hooked up with some wealthy man behind the scenes!
And at the same time, Lucas was consumed with thoughts of Madison’s betrayal!
Ho
e!
she betray him?!
nat no one knew was that on the screen, Ethan was actually ng Madison, “At this moment, your ex, that reservist, will definitely ee you, along with that woman called Sophia. If you appear happy, it’ll drive them mad.”
Madison took this to heart, maintaining the most dignified poise she
