Everyone was utterly stunned!


    Whoever came tonight knew this party was specifically arranged for Jason and Carrie. In reality, they were all just there to act as a backdrop.


    But now, Ralph has brazenly intercepted Jason''s fiancée. What''s worse was that Carrie unhesitatingly chose Ralph over Jason when both men simultaneously invited her to dance.


    In terms of wealth, family background, and appearance, choosing Ralph was entirely reasonable. However, the Salvador and Solloway families were already discussing marriage prospects. This decision was a public p in the face for the Solloway family.


    Under the radiant crystal chandelier, Ralph stared straight into Carrie''s clear, sparkling eyes. The people around them were dancing gracefully, but the two of them stood motionless like wooden posts.


    If this continued, everyone would startughing at them.


    Carrie blinked and asked softly. "Um, Ralph, are we dancing?"


    Drenched in cold sweat, Ralph swallowed hard and mumbled. "I... Can''t dance."


    In the heat of the moment, he had not thought of anything else but to prevent Jason from touching the girl he liked. But Ralph forgot that, while he was excellent at solving criminal cases, his dancing skills were absolutely pathetic.


    Carrie was momentarily surprised, she said while smiling. "It''s okay, I''ll teach you."


    "Just a few steps is fine."


    "No, we need to dance properly." Carrie''s expression turned serious, like that of a strict teacher. "I... I don''t want you to be embarrassed."


    Ralph brushed it off and said with a slight smile, "I''m not involved in the business or political world. Once we leave here, I might never see these people again in my life. There''s nothing to be embarrassed about."


    Carrie lowered her eyes and shook


    her head, her eyes reddening. "I know you came to help me out. know I''ve already be your trouble. I don''t want to caus@youN?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    any more trouble..."


    "It would be a dreame true to have you as my ''little trouble'' every day," Ralph said with fiery, passionate eyes. The truth hidden in his heart slipped out.


    Carrie took a breath and pursed her rosy lips. "Ralph, let''s dance. Put your right hand on my shoulder."


    "Okay." Ralph obediently followed.


    When his palm touched her soft and thin shoulder, his mind went nk, and his heart was pounding.


    At that moment, Carrie ced her left hand on his muscr upper arm.


    Suddenly, Ralph seemed to have an epiphany. He took the initiative to sp her soft fingers with his calloused hand.


    Carrie was taken by surprise. "Ralph, you do know how to dance!"


    "I''ve never danced, but I''ve seen people do it." With that, Ralph started moving, twirling her lightly.


    In terms of dancing, they did not dance very well, as they failed to keep up with the rhythm. Ralph nearly stepped on Carrie''s foot. several times. Yet, their genuine


    interaction captured everyone''s


    astonished gaze.


    One was handsome, while the other was beautiful. They looked perfect together. Who cared how they danced?


    As Gregory watched his daughter and Ralph dance, his eyes were bulging in shock. He nearly crushed the ss in his hand.


    "Chairman Salvador!" Unable to bear


    it any longer, Jason rushed over, his face flushed with suppressed rage, teetering on the edge of an outburst. "Carrie is my fiancée! We''re officially getting engaged next month!"
