"In the future, I will have to call you Mrs. Adams. My heart is extremely sad, and I don't think I can ever call you that." After he finished speaking, he deliberately showed Lucia an expression full of hurt.

August extended his arm in front of Lucia to protect her and raised his wine glass to express his appreciation. "Thank you for gracing us

with your presence, Jamie."

Jamie could not help but frown when he realized that August was still as aloof as ever. "I didn't expect you to still be this cold even after getting married. In the future, Lucia will have to look at this stinky face of yours every day. What a pity."

August's expression darkened further as he eyed Jamie's flirtatious expression with his eagle eyes. "Thank you for your concern, but

that's between Lucia and me."

"Who said I was concerned about such trifles? I'm a busy man, you know." Jamie waved his hand when he heard this.

After speaking, he even lowered his head and kissed the woman in his arms, causing her to giggle non-stop.

Lucia promptly raised her wine glass between Jamie and August. She held onto August's arm affectionately and changed the topic. "It

seems like Jamie is in high spirits and has something to say. I take it that there's good news about the Knight Town."

"Even if I don't care for your husband, I would still like to see you." The smile on Jamie's face grew wider. "Don't forget to come over and

sign the contract after the celebration. You have to come personally. Otherwise, I won't sign it."

"I will personally go to your office to discuss the details some other day," August spoke up in a bitingly cold tone.

Jamie couldn't take it anymore and nudged Lucia into August's arms. "Come on! August Adams, I'm not interested in married women.

Stop taking this the wrong way, alright?"

In a corner of the venue, Paul looked at the pair of newlyweds on the stage with a painful expression. He raised his hand and downed the

red wine in his glass.

When he and Lucia had their wedding, she never smiled like this!

He could give her whatever August Adams could give her, so why did she still choose August in the end?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. His fingertips unconsciously gripped the neck of the wine glass. As the glass cracked,

the wine glass shattered into two. He immediately heard the young woman beside him letting out a soft yelp.

"I'm sorry." While he apologized, he glanced at the young woman beside him. He couldn't look away from her after the first glance. The young woman had probably been drinking as well. Her clean and radiant face was flushed red. Under her slightly knitted brows, her

eyes were pure and bright.

As he stared a little longer, her beautiful face overlapped with Lucia's.

This girl looked exactly like Lucia from six years ago!

Since he was under the influence, he suddenly grabbed the young woman's hand and asked coldly, "Who the hell are you?"

"I..." The young woman retracted her hand fearfully when she saw the coldness in his eyes. She trembled and replied, "My father is Dylan

Davenport of Howe Real Estate. My name is Daryl."

Seeing her frightened look triggered the soft spot in Paul's heart. Only then did he let go of Daryl's hand. His eyes fell on her dress as he

explained gently, "Don't be afraid. I just want to buy you a new dress."

He had spilled the red wine on her white dress, and the stain was very obvious. She hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe it, but at the same

time, she did not forget to reassure Paul.

"It's alright. My driver will pick me up soon. There's no need to trouble you at all."

"As a girl, you surely can't be walking around like this, can you? Come with me." As he spoke, he had already taken off his jacket and

draped it over her. He held her shoulders and left the venue.

Feeling the warmth of his jacket, Daryl did not refuse any further and followed him to the exit of Evergreen Park.

There were many luxury cars parked on the side of the road. Paul walked to one of the vehicles and took out the car key from his pocket.

"Can you drive?"

"You don't have a driver?" Daryl took the key and asked with concern, "Mr. Thomas, let me send you home."

"Do you know me?" Paul was stunned.

Daryl shrugged as she pointed to the wedding in the distance and said playfully, "News about you and Lucia caused such a stir in Austos

City. There's nothing strange about me knowing you, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Paul laughed and felt that she was very similar to Lucia. "You are also very smart."

"Also very smart?" She smiled and shook her head. She thought that he was talking nonsense because he had drunk too much. She opened

the car door and helped him into the passenger seat. Then, she fastened his seat belt with care. "Please give me your home address, Mr.

Thomas."

"To the mall." He looked at her gently and whispered, "I must buy you a new dress."

The two of them went back and forth about the dress for a while as they sat in the car. In the end, she could not refuse Paul and drove toa

nearby mall.

Daryl drove steadily, just like her gentle personality. The journey wasn't a bumpy one, and Paul was getting cozy in the car. With the

comfortable warmth in the car, the effect of alcohol was getting stronger and stronger. His eyelids got droopier by the minute, and he

finally fell into a deep slumber.

Daryl drove slowly into the basement parking lot of Starlight Mall and parked the vehicle. She tried to wake him, but there was no

response.
