With his strong arms, Shawn effortlessly picked Zoe up, When the guests saw what happened, they all exploded with excitement
“Look, it’s Shawn! He never comes to these kinds of events, and tonight he brought a date with him.”
“And he just carried her in his arms. What a charming man.”
“Oh my gosh, that woman is gorgeous. Who is she? I’ve never seen her in Jelonsburg before.”
As everyone gossiped and whispered, Shawn was already carrying Zoe downstairs.
He bent down and gently set her on her feet, every movement as careful and deliberate as a knight handling a princess.
They looked so perfect together that everyone around couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.
Eunice and Sophia immediately recognized the girl in Shawn’s arms. It was Zoe.
Sophia thought. It’s her. She stole Shawn’s first kiss: Sophia was so furious that she could barely think straight. She clenched her hands so tightly it was like she was about to dig into her own skin.
To Eunice, every second of this was infuriating. She didn’t expect that Zoe would manage to get close to Shawn so fast.
of a man as outstanding as Shawn, And Zoe! She doesn’t deserve him at all. Just her being here is a stain on
She thought, “Only Firefox is

“Shawn, your fiancée is me, and your date is supposed to be me
Her indignant outburst drew plenty of stares from the people around them.
However, Shawn didn’t even glance her way as if she were just another passerby.
“Let’s go.” Shawn said, reaching out his hand. His eyes never left Zoe for a second.
The moment Shawn offered his hand, he looked just like a knight bowing to his princess. Zoe didn’t miss a beat. She lifted her hand like royalty, placing it in la
Both of them had that cool, aloof vibe, but together, they looked unexpectedly perfect and approachable.
With everyone watching, the two of them walked away, leaving Sophia standing there in her custom dress, the one she had picked out just to catch Shawn’s rye. Now, she was nothing but a joke.
She could even hear the snickers and whispers all around her.
Even after Shawn and Zoe, disappeared into the crowd, Sophia just stood there, clutching her dress, feeling stunned and humiliated. “This is absolutely unforgivable. How dare slie go after Shawn? I’m gonna kill her”
Sophia had always been spoiled since chuldhood and had never faced such an embarrassing situation before. She was about to march over and throw Zue out of the hall!
“Ms. White, please calm down. This is the Ladwig family’s event. Don’t lose your temper over something so minor and mess up our real plan, Eunice whispered, grabbing Sophia’s arm just in time
Thinking about their plan that could ruin Zoe’s reputation, Sophida, who was ready to explode, finally toned it down a bit. Sull impatient, she asked, “Is everything ready? I can’t wait any longer
Eunice smiled “Relax, Ms. Whate, everything is under control. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the show”
Sophia shot her a warning look “Don’t let me down, or you’ll regret it.

Right at that moment, Joseph made his entrance with his assistant, looking every bit the imposing patriarch.
Seeing this, the Ludwig family members rushed over, each one eager to add their spin as they relayed everything that had just happened outside to Joseph, making it sound even worse.
“Mr. Joseph Ludwig, you have to do something. Shawn is supposed to be the heir to the Ludwig family, but this is completely out of line. He brought another woman here, right in front of everyone, without even telling us?
“Exactly. I’m just worried the White family will see this and immediately come demanding an explanation from us
“If this keeps up, the alliance between the two top families in Jelonsburg could fall apart
All the complaints made Joseph’s face twist in disgust as if he had just swallowed something foul.
He slammed his cane on the ground, his expression turning even colder and his voice dropping to a harsh tone
He said. “This is unbelievable. I didn’t expect a girl from a small town to be so calculating. Does she want to join the Ludwig family, one of the top two prestigious families in Jelonsburg?
“Shawn, can’t you see what this woma is after? You’re completely blind”
After venting his anger. Joseph glared ahead, looking ruthless. He said. “All of you, calm down. She’s just a random woman, and they’re not even halking about marriage yet. You don’t have to be so worried.
