Riley remembered how this man had toasted earlier on the yacht about receiving a wedding invitation from her and Sanif she gave her real name now, she’d burst his bubble right then and there. As much as she enjoyed watching Killian embarrass himself, she didn’t want to attract unnecessary trouble for herself.

In a flash, she had an idea. Without missing a beat, she said calmly, “Hi, I’m Hiley Oswald. I work in marketing at a company”

A plain name, a common job.

Sebastian caught on to his wife’s cue almost instantly. When the group’s attention shifted to him, he gave two words, his voice as cool as his demeanor. “Elliot Torres,”

Killian repeated the names, found nothing unusual, and enthusiastically gestured for them to sit.

But even if he didn’t notice anything off, others did.

A short–haired girl in the booth had been staring at Sebastian since he arrived. She wore a little black dress with edgy, smoky makeup. Hearing his introduction, she arched an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on him as she asked with keen interest, “Your surname is Torres? The same family as Sebastian Torres’s?”

It was a sharp question. Everyone knew that surname was incredibly rare, and when it appeared, it usually signaled immense wealth and power, almost synonymous with the top–tier family in Nexopolis.

Sebastian caught the implication. Admitting the truth here would invite endless probing. To avoid the hassle, he replied flatly,

“No.”

But the short–haired girl didn’t seem ready to drop it. She acted as if she hadn’t noticed his cold demeanor and grew even more curious. She drew out her response, “Oh… I see…”

Throughout the exchange, her eyes remained locked on Sebastian, as if Riley, who was holding his arm, was nothing more than a piece of decor.

Audrey, seeing the short–haired girl practically stare a hole through Sebastian, felt a surge of indignation on Riley’s behalf. She leaned in and whispered, “Riley, do you see her? That girl is looking at Sebastian like she wants to devour him whole. She’s clearly got her eyes on your man. You should keep your guard up.”

Riley listened to Audrey’s dire warning with calm composure. She turned slightly, glanced at the short haired girl through the dum light, and replied quietly, “You can’t guard against that kind of thing anyway. And besides, it really depends on the man himself his heart isn’t with you, tying him to your belt won’t help. But if he’s disciplined, no amount of effort from others will matter.”

She said this with confidence.

Though their marriage had come together quickly, their time together had shown her Sebastian’s self-control.

He was cold to his bones–except for the rare, deeply hidden warmth and possessiveness he showed her, he treatest every like a frozen wasteland.

And just as Riley expected, Sebastian frowned slightly. When he sat down, he adjusted his position, using the tall bees and decorative flower stands on the table to perfectly block the girl’s line of sight, making himselt tursible to ha refusal

The short haired girl, however, was a smooth social operator Unfazed by his cold reception, she introduced
