He wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip through his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, mysterious lady...\" he said smoothly, standing just a few feet away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora turned toward Jasper as if she was noticing him for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" she murmured, her voice light but unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was standing in the corner and suddenly I noticed that you were all alone so I thought of accompanying you.\" He said with a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a beautiful lady like you stands alone at a party like this,\" he said softly, \"it would be a shame if no one kept you company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora tilted her head slightly, pretending to be amused. \"Oh? And you decided to be that person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper chuckled, his voice deep and charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I couldn’t just walk past and ignore you.\" He leaned in just a little, lowering his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A woman as mysterious as you... wearing a veil... it’s hard not to be curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora’s lips curled slightly under the veil. She knew exactly what he was trying to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a small sip from her drink, letting the silence stretch before responding. \"Curiosity isn’t always a good thing, Mr...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jasper,\" he introduced himself smoothly. \"And you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora pretended to hesitate, then said, \"Call me Bell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper smirked in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, from what Zain had told him, Dawn’s real name was Nora Bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It confirmed his suspicion that the lady in front of him was indeed Dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s eyes flickered with amusement as if hearing the name for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bell... a lovely name for a lovely lady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was planning to save this, but... I think you deserve it more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the box, revealing a delicate diamond bracelet that sparkled under the chandelier lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora glanced at it, pretending to be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A gift? For someone you just met?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper smiled smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I believe in fate. And fate led me to you tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently picked up her hand, his fingers warm against her skin. \"Let me put it on for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora watched him closely. He was good—too good. Every move was practiced, every word designed to pull her in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let him fasten the bracelet around her wrist, then pulled her hand back slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you don’t think this means I owe you anything,\" she said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper chuckled. \"Of course not. A gift should come with no expectations, only sincerity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and his friend who were standing on the side, instantly panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were planning to win Dawn’s favor by pretending to be kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan tapped on Harry’s shoulder and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do now? With Jasper in our way, I don’t think we can stand out in front of Dawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles who was silent suddenly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe we can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them turned toward Miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..........................\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora arrived at the banquet and for some reason started to fantasize a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emily, what if everyone rushed toward me and asked me to invest in their company? Ah! If that person is handsome enough...I can’t disagree...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You only have to repeat one line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Aurora asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will consider it,\" Emily said in a cold voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora nodded and followed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the hall, Aurora took a deep breath, a sense of calmness washed over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she...she had already lived these scenes countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily who was following behind felt a subtle shift in Aurora’s demeanor and was baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never knew Aurora was so good at acting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to Aurora’s expectation, no one bothered to even spare her a glance and each of them was busy on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No eager businessmen. No hopeful investors. No handsome suitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just... silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora blinked, then quickly composed herself. Maybe they just haven’t noticed me yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took a step forward, her heels clicking against the marble floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a graceful smile, she nodded at a few guests, expecting them to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily, walking beside her, stifled a laugh. \"Looks like they’re a bit too busy for your grand entrance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora huffed, crossing her arms. \"This is not how I imagined it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily smirked. \"You expected them to drop everything and fight over you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Maybe,\" Aurora mumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end Aurora could only find a corner and sit down with Emily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon a few businessmen who had previously met Emily rushed toward Aurora and greeted her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello Miss Emily, you have finally decided to attend business parties, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily smiled gracefully and nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Boss is finally ready to show her presence, so I tagged along.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessmen pretended to be surprised and turned toward Aurora who was wearing a veil,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this Miss Dawn?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The businessman extended his hand and introduced himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello I am Theo Walter, the CEO and founder of the Walter’s Group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s eyes sparkled under the veil as she extended her hand gracefully, shaking Theo Walter’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her movements were practiced—calm, composed, and effortlessly elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Dawn,\" Theo said politely, his tone laced with curiosity, \"it’s an honor to finally meet you. I’ve heard many things about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora tilted her head slightly, her voice smooth as she replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? And what exactly have you heard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo chuckled, withdrawing his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That you’re a woman of mystery. Talented, intelligent, and... difficult to impress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora smiled under her veil. \"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily, watching the exchange, subtly nudged Aurora’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora took the hint and elegantly folded her hands on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about you, Mr. Walter? What brings you here tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo’s eyes gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Business, of course. A gathering like this is the perfect place to find new opportunities. Which is why—\" he leaned in slightly, lowering his voice, \"—I was hoping you mightconsideran investment proposal I have in mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora barely held back a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally! Someone asking for an investment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping her composure, she slowly turned her head toward Emily, as if pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily, who had been guiding Aurora on how to handle these situations, gave her a barely noticeable nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora then turned back to Theo and, in a voice as calm and poised as she could manage, said, \"I will consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo’s eyes flickered with excitement. \"That’s all I ask, Miss Dawn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily let out a breath of relief, proud that Aurora had followed the script correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Aurora was about to continue the conversation, a sudden commotion erupted from the other side of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, clear voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies and gentlemen! It seems we have a ratherinterestingsituation here tonight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s head snapped toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo and the other businessmen also turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice belonged to Miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood at the center of the hall, a confident smirk on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Harry and Ethan stood, looking pleased with themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper, who had been comfortably charming Nora, narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are they up to now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora, still playing her role as \"Bell,\" merely watched, intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles took a step forward, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not every day we get to witness something as bold as a man giving a woman a diamond bracelet on their very first meeting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps and murmurs spread through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora’s gaze followed the direction Miles was looking and found a man with above average looks, having blonde hair, and black eyes, he was wearing a black three-piece suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora, on the other hand, merely lifted her wrist, letting the diamond bracelet glimmer under the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if I told you—this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper’s smirk didn’t fade, but his eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they’re trying to make me look bad? How predictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nora, playing along, tilted her head at Jasper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? You have a habit of giving expensive gifts to strangers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper turned to her, his smile never faltering. \"What can I say? I have a generous heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles let out a dramatic sigh. \"Generous? Or just using these gifts as a way to manipulate women?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emily was scrolling through her phone and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alex is already here. I will find and bring him to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora waved her hand as she focused on the commotion, with such drama going in front of her, how could she be distracted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper chuckled, stepping forward. His entire demeanor was smooth and unbothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what exactly are you trying to say, Miles?\" Jasper asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simple. I have proof that you’ve done this before—lavishing women with gifts, charming them, and then—\" he dramatically gestured with his hand, \"—leaving them behind once you’ve gotten what you wanted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps echoed through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
