Fawn nodded.

Vespera continued, "That's all I can help you with. I came here with my friends, so I'll join them now. You should... be careful."

With that, Vespera let go of Fawn's hand, but Fawn quickly grabbed hers. "Miss, please don't go! I'm terrified."

Vespera was speechless. Did Fawn think she wasn't scared at all?

"I'm sure Mrs. Dawson will seek you out soon. I already ruined her plan earlier. If I continue hanging around you, I'll be in danger as well."

"I'm sorry for dragging you into this." Fawn released Vespera's hand and became more composed. "Go and look for your friends. I'll be fine."

"Don't be nervous. Remain calm and act normal." After saying that, Vespera took a plate of snacks with her and walked away. She wasn't as chivalrous as Rebecca. That was more than what anyone could expect of Vespera.

Meanwhile, Fawn tightened her grip on her plate to calm herself down for a few seconds. Then, she joined a group of older women seated together, all engrossed in conversation. She chatted with them for a while before attempting to text

someone.

In a corner of the banquet hall, a woman dressed in a gray evening gown was staring at Fawn. She calmly made a call. "Something's not right. I think she knows something."

Meanwhile, Vespera brought a plate of snacks back to Rebecca and Yasmine. While scooping up some cake with her spoon, Vespera began telling them what had happened.

Rebecca and Yasmine went silent for a moment before the former asked, "If we're going to save someone, shouldn't we go all the way? Don't we have Calvert on our side? Ask him to come in and escort that woman back home."
