One of the bodyguards rushed off to deliver the message. While everyone's attention was on Arnold's departure, Felicia seized the moment, lifting her gown to kick off her high heels! This was the opportunity for her to escape.

She darted away, the bright red gown trailing behind her like a flickering flame in the dreamlike hallway.

The bodyguards yelled in frustration and took off after her!

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was lively and boisterous, filled with guests mingling and clinking glasses, all eagerly waiting for the appearance of the main couple of the engagement.

Stephan, tall and statuesque, stood by a massive floor-to-ceiling window. His dark eyes were calm and deep as he surveyed everything below.
