Sebastian didn’t spare Triny another glance. He ordered the manager to pack up the gown, then took the bag himself and led Lillian out of the boutique without a backward look.
Jane sidled up to Triny, catching the longing still lingering in her eyes. “What’s this? Can’t let him go? If you can’t, then chase him,” she teased.
“Shut up,” Triny snapped, her voice sharp.
Jane only smirked. “Well, I can’t blame you. That man really is one of a kind—his looks, his family, his status, all untouchable. Miss a chance like that, and you won’t find another in this lifetime p>
Her words left Triny pensive, and Jane’s smile deepened into something colder. “Honestly, Lillian’s only got a pretty face going for her. In every other way, she can’t measure up to you. And men? They’re all the same-they chase after beauty. If she lost that, what else would he see in her?” With that, Jane turned and left, leaving Triny alone with her thoughts.
The Million Corp anniversary gala was one of the grandest events Kingston had ever seen. High society fought tooth and nail for an invitation-not just for the company’s dominance in entertainment, but for the power of the Phillips family behind it.
Rumors about the family were endless. It was said even the royal family favored them, and their empire stretched across the globe. Years ago, a financial firm tried to calculate the extent of their wealth, but in the end, couldn’t even pin down the numbers. A family with that kind of influence overseas wasn’t one ordinary people could hope to match.
This year’s celebration was set at the Palace Hotel. Built like a castle, it boasted towering columns, sharp spires, golden bricks, enormous chandeliers, and walls painted with scenes from old Europe. Walking inside was like stepping into a fairytale.
A long crimson carpet stretched from the entrance to the interior, lined with flashing cameras and news crews. Tonight’s guest list included some of the biggest names in entertainment, making the scene even more electric.
By half past seven, luxury cars began to arrive, each guest more dazzling than the last.
At Ravenwood Manor, Ada clipped the final diamond wreath into Lillian’s dark hair and stepped back with a gasp of delight. “Perfect p>

starry night, her hair swept into a loose bun crowned with the glittering wreath. She looked less like a guest at a gala and more like a spirit born of the dark.
Catching sight of Sebastian’s reflection at the door, Lillian flushed. “When did you get here p>
He walked over and wrapped an arm around her waist. “Right when you were admiring yourself. And I have to say-you really are breathtaking p>
Ada smiled knowingly at the pair and slipped out, shutting the door behind her.
Lillian tilted her head playfully. “Aren’t you worried someone might steal me away tonight p>
Sebastian’s lips curved lazily, but his eyes gleamed with something far more possessive. “Then I’ll just lock you away forever p>
His words were light, yet beneath them burned an obsession sharp enough to chill.
At the Palace Hotel, the banquet hall glittered under a sea of chandeliers. The décor was nothing short of magnificent, every detail meticulously arranged. Platters of delicacies filled the tables, and laughter rippled through the crowd. Stars who were rarely seen in public mingled among the city’s elite, each face shining with excitement under the brilliant lights.
