Ashley spun around and was startled to find Greta standing there, looking pale and frail. The sight nearly scared

the life out of Ashley, almost making her yell out, "Ghost!"

Greta quickly introduced herself, "I'm Cameron's wife." She had a knack for boosting her own importance,

instantly earning Ashley's respect.

"Oh, so you're the lady of the Dawson family? My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

Greta's vanity was thoroughly satisfied. "Ashley, do you fancy Nathan?"

Ashley sighed, feeling troubled. "I fell for Nathan the moment | saw him. But it's just a classic case of unrequited

love."

Greta leaned in and whispered, "You and Nathan are meant to be together. He's your destined prince, but

Nathalie's been the one standing in the way."

Ashley's face turned indignant. "So it's been Nathalie causing trouble all along."

The two were having such a lively chat that when Greta asked to borrow Ashley's invitation, Ashley handed it

over without a second thought. "Here you go. I'm well acquainted with the Dawson family. | don't need an

invitation to get in." Greta was thrilled. "Thank you."

The banquet was in full swing at the Dawson family's estate. It was held in the outdoor courtyard. The place was

already buzzing with mostly wealthy and influential guests, adding to the event's grandeur.

When Nathan and Nathalie stepped into the courtyard, Nathan suddenly removed Nathalie's hand from his arm.

Nathalie was puzzled by this move, but then he took her hand, intertwining their fingers. She was caught off

guard. This was a gesture more suited for couples. "Nathan, this isn't right," she whispered.

Nathan was still miffed about Nathalie leaving him earlier. "If | don't hold on to you, what if you leaveagain

when someone else makes a comment about us?"

Feeling guilty, Nathalie stayed silent.

Justin spotted Nathan, and his face

lit up with delight. He quickly

grabbed two glasses of fine wine and approached Nathan with enthusiasm. "Nathan, I've been waiting for you!"

Nathalie was taken aback by Nathan and Justin's camaraderie. Justin's attitude towards Nathan was filled with

respect and admiration How did they becso close?

Nathan took a sip of the wine. "This is excellent."

The wine must have been top-notch to get Nathan's seal of approval. He was known to be choosy.

Nathalie licked her lips, her eyes glued to Nathan's glass. She hadza strong craving for alcohol. She used to seek

comfort in drinks - a habit she picked up in her last life because of past disappointments.

Justin noticed Nathalie's interest and gave a knowing smile. "Looks like Miss Nathalie has a taste for the finer

things, too?" He fetched another glass for her.

Nathalie eagerly took the glass from Justin, but just as she was about to sip, Nathan snatched it away. He sternly

told Justin, "My date doesn't drink." Justin chuckled.

Nathalie watched her chance for a drink slip away, feeling a twinge of disappointment. "Nathan, | can handle it."

Nathan replied, "I know you can drink, but your body can't take such strong alcohol."

Nathalie pouted in disappointment.

Nathan, however, raised his glass with a cheeky grin. "Nathalie, I'll drink yours for you."
