Grace abruptly lifted her head, tear tracks still visible on her face, her eyes filled with hurt.

Asher had just openly declared his feelings for Thalia in front of everyone!

Thalia stood stunned.

When those whispered comments had reached her ears, she had felt genuinely anxious.

She had feared that Asher might indeed, as they suggested, favour Grace and position himself against her.

In this moment, Thalia felt an overwhelming sense of security.

Warmth radiated from Asher’s hand as it enveloped hers, providing her with reassuring strength.

Thalia’s heart gradually settled, her emotions calming.

Lady Blackwood, however, was far from calm.

Wasn’t Asher publicly humiliating her with such a declaration?

The elderly woman was so furious that her voice trembled as she spoke. “Asher, I absolutely forbid you to-”

“Miss Winters, I’ve brought the security footage,” the attendant interrupted Lady Blackwood, holding out a USB drive to Thalia.

All eyes turned to the small device in the attendant’s hand, everyone eager to see its contents.

Thalia took the USB drive and addressed the gathering: “If you’d all be so kind as to join me in the screening room on the fifth floor, we can settle this matter once and for all.”

Grace felt a layer of perspiration forming on her palms from sheer anxiety.

She bit her lip, feigning composure as she said: “Thalia, I’ve already said I’m sorry. Must you really drag this out?”

“You call that a sincere apology?” Thalia shot her a cold glance. “I’m not having it.”

Grace continued to deflect: “Even if you’re cross with me, think about the other guests. The hall’s absolutely packed–surely the screening room can’t fit everyone?”

Thalia smiled sardonically. “No need to fret on that account, Miss Bennett. The screening room upstairs seats a thousand quite comfortably.”
