From the very beginning, the highly anticipated engagement party had been shrouded in an unspoken, eerie atmosphere. Guests raised their glasses and chatted, but their eyes constantly darted between Vincent Gaylord and Jake Davidson. Socialites surrounded Lorie, complimenting her dress, their voices laced with prying curiosity about the alliance. Even the waiters seemed to move with an extra degree of caution.
Vincent Gaylord stood in a corner of the ballroom, holding a glass of warm water, his brow furrowed. Harold's earlier words were like a poisoned thorn stuck in his heart.
"I'm aware of the things you did back at the research institute. Do you really think Alexander can't find out?"
"He was willing to cast aside his own son. Do you really think your daughter will be truly happy?"
Every word had struck a nerve.
He had dedicated his life to the Aerospace Institute, overseeing countless projects. To climb the ladder and secure resources, he had indeed done some unsavory things. He had thought those deeds were buried in the past, but he never expected Harold to bring them up so suddenly.
What unsettled him even more was Alexander's calmness. From the moment the party began, his future son-in-law had maintained a perfect, polite smile, effortlessly handling the guests. He seemed completely oblivious to the undercurrents, and that very placidity made Vincent's stomach churn with anxiety.
He scanned his surroundings, feeling that something was off. The champagne flutes on a waiter's tray trembled slightly. In the distance, two men in black suits stood unnaturally still, their eyes occasionally flicking up toward the central crystal chandelier. Vincent's heart began to race, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on his glass.
"What are you looking at?"
Alexander's voice, tinged with a faint hint of amusement, suddenly sounded from behind him.

I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...

OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
