Chapter 486 Has to Find a New Way

Turns out, inside was this year’s special bonus from the International Military Council, Violet Bamboo.

“Got it,” Stella replied in a laid-back tone, shutting the box and stuffing it into her pocket without a second thought.

“I know this might sound a bit unfair to Sebastian, but…” Hudson said with a rare, playful grin, “Honestly, I’m grateful that Sebastian’s charm was enough to keep you on Clusia’s side, instead of making you our rival.”

Stella’s gaze drifted over to Sebastian, who was standing not far away. As if sensing her eyes on him, he turned and met her gaze.

He was almost unreal in his beauty.

Sebastian shot her a sly, flirtatious smile.

It was a sight for sore eyes.

“Sebastian has got way more going for him than just his looks,” Stella said, her gaze steady as she smiled back.

Hudson thought. ‘Tsk. Exactly. And don’t forget, Sebastian has a whole bunch of doggy quirks, too!

‘Is this what people mean when they talk about the cheesy vibe of young couples in love?’ Hudson shook his head.

He thought, ‘I’m stuffed with all this lovey-dovey stuff.

‘Seriously, I can’t handle any more of this mush.’

In the night, State Hall was lit up as a festival. All the top families of Jaffina showed up, plus every big shot in

power.

It was as fancy as it gets, and every single one of them had gotten an invitation sent down from Dragon Hill two weeks ago.

Aside from wanting to see if Bernard’s only son, Salem, had really snapped out of it, everyone was itching to find out just who the granddaughter Bernard kept talking about.

But right now, all eyes were glued to the Clinton family’s table.

If people were paying attention, they would notice the Clinton family showed up in two separate cars, Ryker and Sophie in one, while Aveline and the two boys took the other.

To everyone watching, it just made that juicy rumor from two weeks ago feel even more legit.

Word on the street was that Sophie, the adopted daughter, totally lost it when the Clinton family’s real daughter was found. She went off the deep end, landed herself in the hospital, and single-handedly drained Jaffina’s entire stash of rare blood types.

The 7 PM news was playing.

Just then, the broadcast cut to footage of Stella, Sebastian, and the others being awarded special medals earlier today. Everyone watching was absolutely floored.

Sophie, who had been sitting up ramrod straight on purpose, suddenly froze, her hand under the table, balled into a tight fist.

Aveline’s eyes welled up with tears in an instant.

Her breath quickened, and she was visibly shaken.

“Mom,” Emerson murmured, shooting her a meaningful look, a silent reminder.

Maybe it was that long heart-to-heart they’d had, weighing all the pros and cons, but Aveline managed to pull

herself together, grabbing her wine glass to mask her feelings.

Next to her, Dexter, who’d buzzed off his long hair just days ago, looked spaced out. Compared to the last time he’d seen Stella on TV, he was way more composed now.

Still, Dexter’s face looked rather pale.

“Emerson, I…” Dexter started, about to say he wanted to move out, but before he could get the words out, he saw Emerson’s face suddenly tense up. Emerson was staring at something behind Dexter.

Sebastian walked in, rocking a sharp black suit, while Allan followed right behind in the same style, but in smoky gray.

Lucas, looking every bit the little prince, had put on a tiny black suit and a bow tie, taking the whole thing super seriously.

And right beside them were two faces that were pretty much strangers to everyone in Jaffina.

“Mr. Gray!” someone called out in surprise.

“Mr. Gray!” another voice echoed.

“Good evening, Mr. Gray!” a third person chimed in.

As soon as Sebastian walked in, everyone immediately got to their feet, showing their respect. Only now did they realize that the table right in the center had actually been reserved for him all along.

Sebastian didn’t bother with any of the small talk people tried to make as he walked by. He just took Lucas and headed straight for the empty table, sitting down without a second glance.

“Go on, sit down,” Allan said, raising his brows at Blake and Emily with a mischievous grin.

Blake froze for a moment.

Blake thought, ‘Damn, deep breath.

‘State Hall… This is unreal.

‘Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d ever set foot in a place like this, and now Sebastian has actually brought me in. I could barely hold back my tears.

‘The love is seriously overwhelming!’

“Mr. Gray, what are we even doing here?” Blake asked, still totally lost.

Blake had only arrived that afternoon.

His grandpa was recovering well after surgery, and ever since Stella and Sebastian came to Jaffina, Blake had finally started taking charge himself, with Grandpa’s trusted aide showing him the ropes.

This time, he was here to prep for lon Wing Drones’ new contract with the military, and for something else.

He was also here for Nova Group’s tenth anniversary celebration in Jaffina, which was happening the day after

tomorrow.

By then, everyone would finally know who Moondust really was, and Blake was determined to be the one guarding their love, even if he had to play the idiot himself.

Meanwhile, Emily, dressed in a sleek black Chanel-style suit, looked totally calm on the outside, but inside, her soul had already left her body.

State Hall. The words kept looping in Emily’s mind, like someone just hit Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in her brain, over and over again.

Emily muttered, “What are we even doing here?”

She instinctively straightened up, but Allan just gave her a lazy, teasing smile. “To eat, obviously.”

Emily stared at her phone, her eyes widened.

‘Eat? Ugh, a goddess can’t curse!’ Emily thought.

She just sat there, all stiff and awkward, not sure what to do with herself.

But Lucas, ever the little cutie, noticed how tense she was. He tilted his head and pushed a glass of juice toward her. “Here, drink.”
