The fact that Cayson had feelings for her beyond those of a brother was clear, contrary to his earlier


    ims.


    Despite Loraine’s asional insensitivity towards affection, she couldn’t deny the fact that she could


    sense Cayson’s unwavering intention to pursue her and express his Love.


    “I’m afraid I can’t, Cayson. I’m weary,” Loraine expressed her declination.


    “Is it just fatigue? Or, Lorrie, is it that you don’t wish to dance with me?”


    As Loraine watched Cayson lower his head and appear dejected, she found herself in a dilemma. Just


    then, a plump figure managed to squeeze into the scene.


    Through half-shut, narrow eyes, a plump old man, his mask struggling to cover his expansive face,


    ogled Loraine as he held out his brooch to her.


    “Darling, as the boss of the Wanhua Group, would you care to share a dance with me?”


    Suddenly, the two men ceased their rivalry and stood united, their faces reflecting an unmistakable


    hostility.


    Cayson, stepping in for Loraine, declined on her behalf, “Regrettably, she needs to rest.”


    In a frosty voice, the man in the silver fox mask said, “Get lost!”


    The boss of the Wanhua Group gulped. Behind the mask, he sensed the chilling gaze of the man in the


    silver fox mask.


    Dealing with this character would be no walk in the park.

    The boss, understanding the situation, swiftly excused himself with a smile and said, “Apologies for the


    interruption. I’LL take my leave now!”


    Several others tried their luck, hoping to woo Loraine. They’d been entranced by her ever since her


    mesmerizing entrance. All had been patiently waiting for her first dance to conclude so they could seize


    their chance.


    But between the imposing presence of the man in the silver fox mask and


    Cayson, all were kept at bay.


    A short distance away, the sight of it all made Paige’s teeth grind.

    How did Lorainemand such attention?


    Moments ago, the boss of the Wanhua Group had left his previous partner for her after being enticed


    by her.


    Paige found it distasteful, unable to digest the reality of her man being smitten with Loraine.


    She was determined to find a way to get back at Loraine!


    In the lounge of the ball, with gratitude in her eyes, Loraine turned to the man in the silver fox mask and


    said, “Thank you for helping me turn down other people’s invitations.”


    She then nced at Cayson, offering an apology under the pretext of the masked man’sment,


    “Cayson, I’m sorry I can’t ept your invitation to dance. I need a break.”
