Vespera and Nancy were rendered speechless. They awkwardly stared after Dominic, who had just walked off to the dining area.

Dominic hadn't even tried to pretend. He just crashed right through their carefully choreographed performance like he couldn't care less. He was truly insufferable.

Vespera and Nancy pretended not to hear anything. One busied herself with her phone, while the other twirled a strand of hair and looked out the window at the sunset.

"Ms. Gildon, Ms. Acosta, shall we eat?" Raymond asked with a warm smile.

Vespera wanted to say that forcing down this dinner might be harder than chewing nails, but Nancy stood up and said, "Sure. I'm starving. I didn't eat much on the plane."

Nancy walked toward the dining area with barely a pause. Meanwhile, in the back of Vespera's mind, a voice whispered, "Don't follow. Just turn around and go downstairs. Let them catch up. Let them talk. Don't get pulled into this."

But then Vespera remembered the way Dominic had held her hand earlier. His grip was so firm, and it had stung and comforted her all at once.

"Vespera, what are you spacing out for?" Calvert asked, grabbing her wrist and dragging her forward out of nowhere.

Calvert leaned in and whispered, "That woman is bad news. Harry almost committed suicide over her. Mr. Reid despises her."

Vespera was shocked. She was already overwhelmed with complicated emotions. Now, Calvert dropped a bombshell right in her ear.

When they were about to reach the dining area, Vespera grabbed Calvert and asked in a low voice, "Who's Harry?"

Calvert mouthed the answer, "The third son of the Reid family."
