Everyone turned their heads in that direction.
Dominic walked over in a tailored suit, calm and unhurried, radiating composure.
The moment he appeared, his tall figure, handsome features, and nonchalant demeanor drew every eye to him.
“Dominic is incredible! When he showed up with a dozen of Rolls–Royces, I felt like spotting a walking bank!”
“So handsome! This is exactly how a top heir should look!”

“Bella is so lucky! Dominic’s life is my dream!”
Compliments filled the air.
Bella straightened her back proudly and walked over to link arms with Dominic.
“Dominic, you finally came! I’ve been waiting so long!”
She playfully shook his arm.
“Why did you bring so many guys today? Such a grand entrance.”
Dominic pinched her cheek affectionately.
“We just announced that you’re my future mate, didn’t we? Of course I have to make a statement.”
“From now on, these warriors are in charge of protecting you, my darling.”

Dominic held her tightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, basking in their stares.
Seeing this, employees swarmed around them, showering endless praise.
“Dominic, you treat Bella so well.”
“Dominic and Bella are a match made in heaven!”
“That’s right! We’re witnessing a fairytale romance in real life!”
“With Dominic backing her, no one would dare cross Bella!”
Hearing that, Bella lifted her chin even higher.
Dominic seemed accustomed to such scenes. He raised his hand slightly, and the crowd instantly quieted. “Bella and I making our bond official is worth celebrating Everyone should share in this joy.”
“Each employee of Darkdjawl Pack Group will receive a three–thousand–dollar bonus.”
“Consider it gift money from me and Bella, to celebrate our approaching bonding ceremony.”
The crowd erupted, praise washing over them like waves.
“Wow!

Amid the cheers, no one noticed me.
I knelt on the ground, gathering the scattered fragments of gemstones piece by piece.

This had been my mother’s last gift to me. Now it was nothing more than a pile of cold trash.
Bella, clinging to Dominic’s arm, was about to step into the lobby when she glanced back and caught sight of my pitiful figure.
Her smile grew even crueller.

Dominic stopped walking. The contempt and disdain in his eyes turned to shock and panic when he recognized me.
Confusion flickered across his handsome face, and then his brows furrowed deeply.
“Audrey? What are you doing here?”
I lifted my head, a bright smile curving my lips.
“It’s me, Dominic.”
“Today is Valentine’s Day. I came especially to give you a surprise.”
“So tell me, are you surprised or happy?”
