"I''ll figure out what''s happening!" Kena dered, starting to head over.


    Sophie quickly caught her arm, giving a slight shake of her head. "No need."


    "But..." Kena hesitated, words hanging in the air. Was she really supposed to just stand by while her husband was all chummy with another woman? Colby still hadn''t nced at Sophie; it was like they were strangers, no eye contact at all. The guests around them seemed to revel in the drama.


    Yet, Sophie''s face was calm, her smile unwavering as she greeted the guests, as if Colby was invisible to her.


    "Mr. Colby, that''s Ms. Sophie, right? She''s stunning. Why don''t you go talk to her?" Gina batted her eyshes, all charm.

    Colby replied, almost dismissively, "She is beautiful."


    Noticing Colby''s reluctance to chat further, Gina grabbed his arm, "Did you two have a spat? I know a trick to patch things up quickly. Want to try it, Mr. Colby?"


    Gina didn''t seem to mean any harm. Before Colby could react, she was already pulling him toward the dance floor outside.


    The fact that the Spellman family''s goddaughter was this cozy with Colby set tongues wagging. Everyone knew Colby wasn''t one for mingling with women, except Sophie. Who would''ve thought there''d be an exception?


    Colby frowned slightly at Gina holding his arm. But before he knew it, they were in the middle of the dance floor.

    Her bold move grabbed everyone''s attention, all eyes glued on them With Sophie right there, it was a scene right out of a soap opera.


    Some guests watched with glee, some with discreet curiosity, while others were already drafting tomorrow''s gossip.


    "Mr. Colby, women get so jealous! Just dance with me, and Ms. Sophie will be jealous for sure. Then you two can clear things up!"


    Gina''s sincerity was palpable, and

    "Ms. Sophie!" Kena''s voice broke through, grabbing Colby''s attention.


    He turned to see Sophie''s retreating figure. Almost instinctively, he ran after her.


    As Colby dashed out of the hall, Gina hiked up her dress and followed.


    By the fountain outside, Colby caught up with Sophie. "Sophie, wait, listen to me..." "It''s not what it looks like, Ms. Sophie!"
