happiness." His tone, though gentle, was as undeniable as ever. I silently changed into the gown, letting him lead me away, his eyes filled with admiration. The banquet was held at Julian Group's seven-star hotel. In the opulent, dazzling ballroom, people mingled in their finest attire, and celebrities gathered. However, all the service staff wore cheongsams and masks. Julian Blackwood's expression was cold as he swept his gaze over us, then explained to me, "Summer, you are the undisputed center of attention tonight. The background staff will wear masks so they don't overshadow you." I vaguely guessed something, and my face went pale. I was about to speak, but flattering voices interrupted me. "Mr. Blackwood is as devoted and thoughtful as ever. Mrs. Blackwood is truly blessed." "I heard Mr. Blackwood's fifth-anniversary gift was an estate worth five billion." "Mr. Blackwood said his love only grows, and his gifts will be more precious each year." Suddenly, the sound of fabric tearing echoed. "I-I'm sorry" A masked server trembled as she got up from the floor, her cheongsam torn all the way to her upper thigh, revealing alluring legs. But the guests weren't interested in admiring them; they were all hushed and fearful. 12:37 pm PD < Julian Blackwood was notoriously devoted to his wife, a possessive tyrant. Anyone who dared to disrupt the banquet's atmosphere now... given his usual ruthlessness... Everyone silently prayed for the clumsy server. Sure enough, Julian Blackwood's voice turned icy cold. "Come with me." "Summer, rules are rules. I'll go teach *her* a lesson, be right back." He softened his tone as he told me. Then he grabbed the server's wrist and dragged her upstairs. A moment later, I followed them. On the third-floor landing, the conference room door was ajar. The server was sitting on the conference table, her long, smooth legs wrapped around Julian Blackwood's waist. Her mask lay quietly to the side. Her exposed face was tear-streaked, looking utterly pitiful. It was Serena Vance. My heart ached fiercely. So, his grand gesture of celebrating with me was merely to fulfill Serena Vance's wish. But clearly, I wasn't satisfied. "I'm sorry, husband, I shouldn't be this way, you brought me out, I should be happy. But seeing you and Ms. Hayes so in love, it just hurt so much. I felt so unwell that I collapsed without even realizing it. I've embarrassed you. Will you be angry with me for interrupting you and Ms. Hayes?" Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
