“Mr. Evan?”

The two people who had just confronted Rosalynn were dumbfounded when they saw who had arrived.

“What are you guys doing?” Evan frowned, shielding Rosalynn.

Whispers of surprise spread through the crowd.

Ashley couldn’t fathom it; she believed Rosalynn was simply unworthy of such attention and companionship.

Rosalynn herself was also stunned. First off, the handsome guy in front of her was the star of today’s party, the young master of the Lockner family, Evan. Secondly… he actually

Wait! Wallace!

Rosalynn quickly looked around, but Wallace was nowhere to be found in the dispersing crowd.

“What are you looking for? Did you drop something?” Evan looked around innocently, following Rosalynn’s gaze.
