In the evening, amidst a lavish banquet with wine and champagne flowing, the cream of Wexford's high society was present.

When Irwin arrived with Natalie by his side, nearly all eyes were instantly fixated on them.

Natalie also attracted numerous hostile gazes at that moment.

"It seems you're quite the popular figure here in Wexford!" Natalie glanced around, feeling the envy radiating from many younger women.

The comment carried a hint of sarcasm.

It was a dig at Irwin and Cedric, suggesting she knew nothing, but it was clearly also mocking herself.

Sensing the undertone in her words, Irwin tightened his grip on her hand and whispered, "Since we're here, you'll have plenty of time to discover just how sought-after the men around you are. So, cherish the chance, alright?"

His tone was teasing.

Irwin effortlessly dismantled Natalie's sarcasm.

In response, she shot him a cold look.

When Cedric arrived, he saw Natalie and Irwin standing together. At that moment, Natalie's delicate hand rested comfortably within Irwin's larger palm.
