The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 601

She had to explain it clearly, otherwise, if Riley really cut ties with Sebastian over this, the Sinclair family wouldn't survive Sebastian's ruthless retaliation.

In the crowd, Pierce Landon put down his phone. He had snapped photos of Sebastian and Macy standing together, as well as pictures of them leaving the party.

Rumors were already flying that the St. John and Sinclair families were arranging a marriage. If he leaked these photos to the press and added some fuel to the fire to make it look real, he was willing to bet Riley would stop pining for a man who had already moved on.

Riley arrived at the banquet hall using the address on the invitation. She immediately spotted the massive screen displaying the successful strategic partnership, but her eyes couldn't find Sebastian anywhere in the room.

Where was he?

Had they already announced their engagement and left?

At that moment, people around recognized Riley and started whispering.

"Isn't that Sebastian's ex, Riley Vance? What is she doing here?"

"Is she here to cause a scene?"

"Sebastian already dumped her, what is there to make a scene about?"

Not far away, Pierce saw what was happening and took a step forward. But then, realizing something, he stopped, turning to whisper instructions to Scott Baxter.

Scott glanced at Riley, nodded, and turned away to carry out his orders.

Riley scoured the room but still couldn't find Sebastian. Just as she pulled out her phone to call him, someone violently slapped it out of her hand.
