His gaze was light, almost casual, yet it carried an inexplicable sense of pressure.
Intimidated by his look, the crowd's chattering instantly ceased, and no one dared to meet his eyes.
The man only glanced at them for a moment before looking away.
The pressure on the crowd lifted, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Once he and Stella were a safe distance away, someone couldn't help but whisper, "You don't think he heard what we were saying, do you? Okay, okay, let's just stop talking about them. You've heard the rumors about the Gardner family. It's best not to provoke people like him."

There were still two hours before Aurora and McCoy's official engagement ceremony.
Most people had arrived early to network with business partners.
While the guests mingled cheerfully outside, Aurora, who was in her dressing room getting her makeup done, was quietly crying.
"Sellers," Aurora said softly, "do you blame me for getting engaged to McCoy?"
Sellers looked at Aurora, his gaze heavy.
"I know you had no choice. Jonathan is in a coma, and although Leonard's shares have been temporarily frozen, if we don't find a way to stop Stella soon, The Williams Group will fall completely into her hands."
Aurora looked at Sellers, her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to spill, but she forced herself to hold them back.
She said wistfully, "I know I'm not worthy of you anymore, Sellers. The Burton family would never allow me through their doors. But whether I marry you or not, no one can ever replace you in my heart."

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
