Chapter 658:

The guests around him followed his line of sight to the doorway, where the Morrison siblings and their companions made their entrance. The room seemed to pause for a moment as the group appeared—three men and two women, all breathtakingly elegant, as if they had stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine.

At the center of them all was Carrie, radiant and commanding. Her tailored suit, paired with her short hair, gave her a sharp yet magnetic look. The massive purple diamond resting against her collarbone sparkled under the chandelier light, but even its brilliance paled in comparison to her luminous features. Her eyes, gleaming like they held galaxies, swept across the room with an almost imperceptible coolness.

The crowd was visibly stunned by the revelation. They had not known Carrie to be associated with the Morrisons.

Surprise flickered across Kristopher’s face before relief washed over him. The weight that had been pressing on him for days seemed to lift.
