Chapter 709 It’s Also River Xenos’ Name

The spacious villa was illuminated with lights, and beneath the bright glow were impeccably dressed guests. Everyone at this party had put in effort to look dazzling, each person radiating their unique charm. Yet, amidst this dazzling crowd, there was one man who stood out exceptionally. His calm and profound gaze was fixated on me, while my best friend's husband stood beside him.

Whenever they were together, I couldn't help but feel uneasy—perhaps because of what Shawn had said last night.

Halfway through the dance, Shawn and Alfred abruptly left the party. As they headed toward the entrance, I paused for a moment and momentarily forgot that I was still dancing. Quickly regaining composure, I hurriedly resumed dancing. After the performance, May pulled me off the stage and questioned, "You made two mistakes just now. What were you thinking? Why did Alfred and your husband suddenly leave?"

Truth was, I was also curious about their sudden departure.

"I'm not sure. I'll ask Mr. Briar later," I replied.

Amidst the festive atmosphere, we returned to the living room. Kevin showered us with compliments, and Ian, surprisingly, praised Serene, "I didn't expect Mrs. Zeller to know how to dance."

Serene smiled politely. "Thank you."

Her tone was polite yet distant.

Truth was, her heart was in turmoil.

After bidding farewell to all the guests as the party came to an end, it was already 2 AM. Christopher took Emma home, and Aimes had departed long before the festivities concluded.

Troy and Amy had returned to the set two hours ago.

Now, it was just us, the close friends, left in the living room.

I finally asked Kevin, "Where's Shawn?"

"He left with Sir Larson," he replied.

A slight chill ran down my spine as I questioned, "Didn't Shawn say he would leave after the party ended? Why did he suddenly leave?"

Kevin shrugged, "What's the big deal about leaving a few hours early?

It doesn't seem like a big deal...

Forget it, let's put it aside for now and talk about it tomorrow.
