Sir Ares, Goodnight

The gown was dragged across the ground, sweeping it as she walked. Jay looked on as she left in pique and let out a smirk. Grayson felt distressed about the ten grand evening gown being hauled that way. 'It was indeed destined to be laid to waste.' There was a smile in Jay's eyes when he said, "Only a woman without vanity will trample on the good stuff I've given in such a way." Grayson grew petrified as he froze.

'Is Mr. Ares boasting about Rose Loyle?'

Why did it suddenly feel like the whole time he helped Mr. Ares out in mistreating Rose would turn out to be a self-inflicted sin and he would not live to survive it? He could merely hope that it was an illusion.

Once Rose entered the banquet's entrance, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Her beauty was extraordinarily exquisite, and the evening gown she wore helped her stand out from the crowd.

Rose became the focal point of the whole venue without her realizing it. Her gaze merely scanned through the crowd for Sean Bell.

Sean was toasting drinks with a couple of guests and inadvertently saw Rose from a distance. He was immediately awestruck by her beauty. "Excuse me, I've got to go," Sean said as he placed his wine glass down and straightened up his suit. Then, h e gracefully walked over to her. "Rose, you look exquisite today." Sean had spent a couple of years of his life abroad. Hence, he was bolder in expressing his emotions.

"You really do make me feel proud," he said while raising his arm.

Rose hesitated slightly but still took his hand anyway.
