With this in mind, she accepted the roses without a word. She maintained her cold demeanor as she headed towards the car without glancing back.
Kyson expected to be mocked, yet she accepted the flowers despite saying nothing.
He was so shocked that he looked at Sonny who was standing by the door and asked, “She received my flowers. Does this mean that she is trying to accept me?”
Sonny lowered his head and responded, “I’m just a bodyguard. How can I possibly know what’s on her mind?”

A joyful smile spread across Kyson’s face as he interpreted Sonny’s words as a confirmation. He swiftly turned around and caught up with Lucinda.
Sonny silently trailed behind.
Before long, they reached the gate of the palace.
Last time Lucinda had come here, Kyson escorted her in through the east door.
However, this time there was a dinner party, and the grand main doors of the palace stood wide open. Well-dressed ladies and gentlemen engaged in conversation as they entered the palace.
The garage was filled with luxury cars, all owned by aristocrats and influential business tycoons in the country.
In a low voice, Kyson reminded Lucinda, “The banquet hall will be crowded. Stay close to me and be careful not to get lost.”
She nodded, her eyes scanning the room in search of Harold.

“Miss Simmons, you look absolutely stunning tonight. You’re gorgeous in that light green dress!” Zakai complimented.
Lucinda burst into laughter.

Amongst all the women present, the married Madams were hoping to find suitors for their unmarried daughters at the banquet, and Zakai was undoubtedly one of their targets.
Kyson saw her smile.
Ever since they had parted ways seven years ago, Lucinda had never smiled at him. How could another man make her smile with just a casual comment on her dress?
It irked him.
“Zakai, you dare approach my female companion? You clearly have no regard for me!”
Zakai kept his silence, since Kyson was his brother after all.
Meanwhile, Harold mingled with the other aristocrats, engaged in lively conversation and laughter. Suddenly, his attention was drawn to the unfolding scene.
With a serious expression etched on his face, Harold strode over with deliberate, heavy steps.
“Lance, don’t you forget your place as a lowly pleb! Why should Zakai treat someone like you with respect?”
