“Andrew, perhaps you should prioritize the disaster unfolding here.


    It is, after all, your estate,” Caleb remarked nonchntly.


    He paused, then dr@ped his arms around my waist and drew me close.


    “As for Debra, she’s my Luna.


    I’ll look after her myself.


    You needn’t worry about her.


    ”


    Debra’s POV:


    Caleb seemed to be asserting his dominance.


    He wrapped me tightly in his arms, his gaze fixed on Andrew with a faint, knowing smile.


    Andrew’s face was livid, the bones of his hands protruding.


    His jawline was tense, and his dark eyes appeared ready to unleash a storm.


    If the guests weren’t around, his anger might have erupted.


    However, Caleb wasn’t satisfied.


    With a provocative smile, he lowered his head and ki*sed my forehead, feigning concern.


    “You were exhaustedst night and awakened so early.


    Would you like to go rest for a while?”


    When the surrounding guests heard this, they seemed to imagine a series of heated scenes.


    Yet, due to Andrew’s presence, they didn’t dare to discuss it openly.


    Only a few hushed whispers reached my ears.


    “This half-blood witch was never worthy of Andrew.


    And now she has a lover?”


    “Shame on her! She’s brought disgrace to us.


    ”


    “How could Andrew possibly fall in love with a woman Like her?”


    Andrew became angrier, his fists tightening with a newfound resolve.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

    He cast a warning nce at the guests, and an immediate hush fell over the corridor.


    Feeling a mix of embarrassment and regret, I subtly elbowed Caleb, hoping to signal him to rein himself in.


    Caleb raised his eyebrows but continued to hold me tightly.


    I attempted to discreetly free myself from his grip, but it was clearly futile.


    At that moment, I sensed someone watching me.


    When I looked up, my gaze met Andrew’s prating eyes.


    His eyes were filled with suchplexity that I couldn’t bring myself to meet his gaze.


    “Debra—”


    “Andrew.


    ” I interjected with a pang of guilt, shifting the conversation.


    “So, what’s your strategy concerning Keenan? It’s imperative that you address this promptly; otherwise, the repercussions could be dire for you.


    ”


    Andrew’s betrothal to me had already drawn harsh scrutiny from the entire n.


    Now, with two deaths urring at the engagement celebration, the situation could easily be exploited by those with hidden agendas to undermine him.


    Such incidents not only threatened Andrew’s standing and authority but also tarnished his reputation.


    Andrew’s lips twisted into a bitter smile as he assured me, “Debra, fret not.


    I shall address this matter with due diligence.


    ”


    I chewed on my lower lip, casting my gaze downward, at a loss for words.
