She shot Riley a sidelong glance, her eyes dripping with the kind of superiority and contempt usually reserved for a country bumpkin wandering into the city.

Killian, eager to smooth things over so Audrey wouldn’t be put off, jumped in with a chuckle. “Ms. Oswald, Flora built her business from scratch, no less. Impressive, right?”

Colin and Justin said nothing.

Seeing that Colin was dressed with taste but without any flashy designer logos, Simon decided to test the waters with a hint of condescension. He asked, with deliberate provocation, “So what about you, Mr. Peterson? With that calm, collected air of yours, you must at least be in the seven-figure range, right?”

In Simon’s mind, these good-looking people were probably just hangers-on to Killian-minor social climbers or senior white-collar workers. A few million in assets would be pushing it.

Colin didn’t take the bait. He offered a vague smile and shrugged lazily. “I honestly couldn’t tell you. The family money doesn’t go through me, and I’ve never kept track. Just enough to get by, I suppose.”

Justin, beside him, smiled but said nothing.

The truth was, every single person in that booth was worth nine figures or more. Especially Sebastian-since formally taking over the Torres Group, the balance in his personal accounts had long ceased to be a real number and had become more of an abstract concept.

But Flora and her crowd had no idea of the depths they were dealing with. They took Colin’s modesty for a flimsy cover-up.

The conversation hit a full, draped in awkward silence.

Killian, feeling the dead air, tried to revive the mood. “Sitting here’s boring; the music’s great. Audrey, how about a dance on the lawn?”

Audrey didn’t even look at him. She linked her arm through Riley’s instead. “Pass. I want to dance with Riley More fun with another girl anyway”

Riley, who’d been feeling Flora’s unrelenting stare all night, was happy for an excuse to move. “Sute. let’s go.”

The two women rose and headed toward the lawn dance floor, drawing appreciative glances for any of the man iguring

As soon as Riley was out of earshot, Flora seized her chance. She walked around the table, ready to claim the sagt fly djur vacated.

But before she could lower herself onto the sofa, Sebastian’s gaze lifted from the loos

A normal person might have taken the hint and backed off. But Flora had a competitive streak-she loved conquering difficult clients in business, and she was no different with men.

She leaned sideways, glancing at Riley dancing lightly with Audrey on the lawn. Even in that casual setting, Riley carried herself with an effortless grace that made her stand out. But to Flora, she just looked… unambitious

She turned back to Sebastian, brimming with confidence. “Mr. Torres, someone like you, married so early? That’s surprising. What do you even see in her?”

When Sebastian ignored her, she pressed on. “With your presence and your bearing, you deserve better. Honestly? She’s pretty, sure. But she seems… not quite your equal. In this world, looks aren’t enough. Don’t you need a partner who can stand beside you in the trenches?”

Colin, who’d been pretending to chat with Justin, nearly choked at this. His face twitched as he fought to keep his composure,

One thought raced through his mind. Flora was either brave or suicidal. Giving Sebastian marriage advice while trashing the woman he’d die for. Was she trying to tank her own beauty company?

His gossip instincts flared. Under the table, his fingers flew across the phone, relaying Flora’s bold speech to Riley on the dance floor, complete with a string of gleeful emojis.

Out on the lawn, the party was in full swing. Riley was swaying lightly to the beat when her phone buzzed. She stepped aside to quieter corner.

It was a message from Colin, “Flora just told Sebastian you’ve got nothing going for you besides your looks. Said you’re not good enough for him.”

Riley read it and laughed out loud.

“Something funny?” Audrey leaned in, curious.

Riley didn’t bother hiding the screen. Audrey scanned the message and raised an eyebrow. “Huh. She’s clearly trying to put you down, but she also basically admitted your looks are flawless. So I guess you didn’t lose that round.”

Riley typed back, “What did Sebastian say?”

Just as she was about to assume Colin couldn’t reply, her phone buzzed again; this time with a short video.

She tapped play. In the video, Sebastian’s face was carved from ice. He hadn’t spoken, but the oppressive tension radiating from him was unmistakable fury.

Flora, clearly unused to being shut down so coldly, scrambled to salvage the moment. “Never mind. Let’s not talk about that. Let’s just have a drink. Here’s to new friends.”

She raised her glass toward Sebastian..

The video ended there. Audrey stared, wide-eyed, “Damn. Sebastian’s energy is terrifying. Flora’s face went gloomy”
