Suddenly, a chubby short leg plopped down out of nowhere.

Everyone nearby fell silent.

“Oh no, I’m stuck!” came a lively, robotic voice from inside the car. A moment later, a long hissing sound echoed as something started deflating inside.

Within seconds, Big Ben’s once adorably chubby body shrank right before everyone’s eyes.

Big Ben landed on both feet with its back to the crowd, grunting, “Phew!”

It spread its arms wide, reaching behind it, but it just couldn’t get it.

It whipped its head around.

Its gaze zeroed in on Blake’s face.

Blake said, “Uh, do you… need some help?”

He blurted out, still stunned.

Big Ben said, “Could you please use your fancy fingers to poke that tiny little switch on me?” It paused, clasping its chubby hands under its chin and giving its best puppy eyes. “Please, sir.”

Blake froze.

Blake poked the switch.

Suddenly, with a loud pop, Big Ben, who’d just been showing off its abs, instantly ballooned back into its lovable, chubby self. Blake watched as Big Ben cupped its own cheeks and chirped, “Thanks, pretty boy!”

Blake said, “No problem.”

With everyone’s attention glued to Big Ben, John took the chance to roll out the wheelchair from the other side.

By the time the crowd snapped back to reality, Sebastian was already sitting comfortably, his legs hidden beneath a sleek black blanket.

Everything else was completely out of sight.

The rich kids and socialites who’d been waiting for some drama were mentally cursing and totally losing it inside.

They thought, ‘So that’s Mr. Gray, the guy who’s been off the grid for five whole years?

‘Damn…

Today, Sebastian rocked a custom-tailored black suit, his broad shoulders and frosty expression making him look like he owned the place. The silver-rimmed glasses on his nose were just for style.

No prescription, but they somehow kept his intimidating vibe in check.

One look from those icy eyes, paired with that gorgeous but ghostly face, was enough to send a soul-shaking chill through anyone nearby.

He had all the women in the room utterly captivated.

Nobody said a word.

Everyone watched as Sebastian reached into the car.

“Big Ben, chill out,” a lazy, cool female voice called out before her hand even appeared. Then, a pair of spotless hands reached out from the car and landed right in Sebastian’s palm.

His large hand closed around hers, firm and protective.

Stella emerged from the car, stooping gracefully. The tasseled hairpin, angled in her elegantly coiled hair, swayed gently with her every movement.

In the very next moment, as she lifted her eyes, all her charm seemed to burst forth at once.

The crowd fell silent, stunned, and their eyes widened as they watched her in awe.

Blake stammered, “S-Stella…”

Today, Stella was rocking a white cross-collar top with winged sleeves, paired with a black traditional tailored skirt adorned with subtle patterns.

Annette had swept her long hair up into an elegant bun, securing it with an exquisite hairpin with tassels that shimmered with every movement.

She was drop-dead gorgeous and totally badass.

Not far away, Celia’s pupils trembled with shock.

She couldn’t help but curl her fingers into a tight fist.

“That feeling again!’ Celia thought.

It was like every time Stella appeared, she instantly had everything under her control.

Conrad, meanwhile, couldn’t help but pinch his fingers, lost in thought.

Blake’s sidekicks stood behind him, mouths hanging open. “Man, I wish I had the words for this, but all I can say is ‘holy shit!””

And when Chloe saw that traditional tailored skirt Stella was rocking, she just scoffed, her lips curling into a cold, mocking sneer.

Blake snapped, “Who the fuck are you?” He was about to lunge at Chloe, but before he could even move, an arrow stopped him dead in his tracks..

Blake stopped at once. “Stella!”

Sebastian’s thin lips parted slightly, his voice icy to the core. “John.”
