She didn't pay attention to the surrounding gazes but took out a tissue and turned her head to wipe the sweat off Raymond's forehead. Raymond slightly opened his eyes and glanced at her.
Neither of them said anything. Although surrounded by people from the scircle, it felt as if they were in another world under the spotlight. Selena felt her heart beating fast. She clenched the tissue tightly and turned her gaze back to the stage.

"Next up is a ring, said to carry a promise of youth. The person who bought this ring back then sent it to his future girl when his life was in danger." Selena felt a bit uneasy, and then she heard the host ask, "Ms. Fair, do you remember the person who made a promise to you?" The atmosphere froze, and then people started discussing. Everyone knew little about Selena's past, only that her family background wasn't good, and she was lucky to be associated with the Montague family. Selena's face turned somber, her body stiff, and her back straight.
In the grand hall, all the influential people in the circle frowned, and the host smiled at everyone again.
"I believe you all know the person who sent the ring. He instructedto return the ring to Ms. Fair. After all, Ms. Fair has kept it for so long, and she must be anxious if it's lost." Raymond had already straightened up, looking intently at the stage.

"Letgive it to her." His voice was gentle and warm.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the second floor. The man standing there wore a white suit, looking down with gentle eyes, smiling at Selena with deep affection. Among the hundred or so people present, who frequently attended various gatherings, someone instantly recognized that face in the luxurious hall. "Impossible! Isn't he dead?" "Am I seeing things? How can he still be alive?" "So what happened between Selena and him?" "Did William make Selena marry Raymond because she had something with him first?" Selena's whole body tensed up.
She could tell this wasn't the gentle Mashe knew. This was the bad one.
