William turned his head, looking for the source of the voice. His eyes then met a familiar figure. Apparently, it was Merida, his ex-girlfriend who left him to be with Jordan.William looked around, trying to figure out why Merida was here alone. Where was Jordan?Merida, who noticed William's gaze, immediately solved the confusion. "Jordan went to the toilet," she explained with her chin up. "Well, it's a surprise that I met you."William just shrugged, then said yes. He didn't need to explain further. To him, perhaps it was meant to be. They met that night, in the same place, and in the same situation. Perhaps, this was the universe's way of telling William that he should always be aware of wherever enemies might appear.William noticed Merida. That night, Merida was wearing a black dress that accentuated her fair skin, with a fitted cut that showed off her beautiful curves.The details of the dress, such as the small sparkling sequins and the delicate pleated accents on the skirt,

William was surprised when two women suddenly sat next to him. They were Loisa and Angela who seemed very eager to approach him. William watched them for a moment. Angela, who was right next to him, waved and said, "Good evening, Mr. Anderson, we meet again."Meanwhile, Loisa smiled as she pulled Angela's hand and said, "Good evening too, remember me, right?"William, who looked stiff, replied, "Good evening, Ladies. It's nice to see you again." Although his reply sounded stiff, the two women were still eager to approach William.Meanwhile, Tania, who was watching them, just stared sarcastically. She felt lucky that she managed to approach William before the two women.William refocused on the ongoing banquet.The MC of the banquet was preparing the order of events and started introducing the Withman and Montgomery families who were rumored to be working together. Angela looked confused and asked, "I wonder, why is Montgomery's name mentioned? Isn't this cooperation related to the And

The party that was originally characterized by the low rumble of laughter and the sound of brindis cups, had now turned into a tense and confused atmosphere. People looked at each other, whispering, trying to understand and digest what had just happened. The light that had danced on happy faces was now reflected in every corner of the uncertain room. Sarah, the woman who had been the magnet of attention, was now the center of gossip. She who previously walked among the guests with a sweet and confident smile, now had to leave with a broken heart. Her cheerful face had been filled with gloom and anxiety. Daniel Withman was the talk of the party. Just as he had revealed his love for Sarah, now another woman was claiming to be pregnant with his child. This news was like a time bomb that exploded in the crowd, turning the party into a battlefield. The guests began to whisper, talking about Sarah's unfortunate fate. Some felt sorry for her, suggesting that she leave Daniel immediately.

William felt heavy when he heard his best friend Vera's rejection. He frowned, trying to digest what had just happened."No, William, you won't be able to help us," Vera said in a cold, firm voice. There was a note of regret in her voice, but she stuck to her guns.William thought for a moment, trying to string together the right words. He wanted to help, but maybe now his role was not too important. "All right, if that's what you want.""I'll call you later, Vera," William said next."Yes, William, don't worry about us," Vera replied. "Sarah has asked Daniel for help. After all, they once loved each other. I'm sure Daniel will help."William agreed, even though he knew it would be in vain. Daniel wouldn't be able to help them this time.After hanging up the phone, William walked back to his dorm room, his footsteps. Apparently, William's roommates had heard the news about Sarah and they were talking about it.Andrew, in a hateful tone, said, "It's good that Sarah is now in custody."

William furrowed his brows, his astonishment growing. He didn't understand why Sarah acted like that. She should have been more thoughtful and grateful if she felt unable to do it herself. However, Sarah still maintained her cynical and haughty attitude in front of William.Sarah, with her flat face, looked at William. Her eyes showed annoyance and disappointment. She didn't understand why William couldn't understand how she felt. She thought he was just playing with her feelings."What's wrong?" William asked in a calm tone. He tried not to be provoked by Sarah's attitude. He knew he had to stay calm and try to understand Sarah.Sarah was annoyed by William's attitude."Come on, just answer! I asked you a question!" Sarah said in a high tone. Sarah folded her hands, her face looking tense. "You know, right, that the restaurant is holding me and they're asking for millions of dollars in compensation?" Sarah said in a stern tone.William smiled, looking at Sarah with a calm expression
