A growing number of passersby began to notice Vince, their whispers spreading quickly.

“Hey, isn’t that Vince Ward? He’s the Ward family’s next in line. What on earth is he doing?”

“That’s Maia Watson, right? Unbelievable. She’s the one who turned heads at Sceibar’s big art show!”

“Is Vince trying to win back Maia? This is better than a TV drama — I have to tell everyone about this!”
