He made a hushing gesture, signaling for me to follow him. I hadn't expected Grayson to be on the ship as well. I was just thinking about finding him.
In a quiet corner, I asked, "When did you board the ship? I had no idea you were back, too!" "Mr. Atlas arranged it. Mr. Ryan and Joyce are also here. Mr. Atlas said, if we're going to play a role, we should go all the way. Plus, there's an organization from Jitador on the ship today. Be careful!"

"Not exactly, but it's better to be safe than sorry. After all, they've already targeted you and your daughter before." . : I nodded. I hadn't realized these people were everywhere.
"Mr. Ryan has already delivered the cake to Liora. I reckon she'll receive the exact message tonight," Grayson Yo
cautioned me again. "So, she's likely to be unstable. Given her personality, she might provoke you." "Got it!" I smirked. "By the way, about Harmony's situation, how is it related to Jared?" I was confident that Grayson would know the details.

However, Stella is still ensnared in the trap for now." Grayson knew the intricacies of the situation. "Chlo, it seems like Mr. Atlas is looking for you. You should go to him first." 9

"Alright, you go on then!" @ Then, I walked toward Atlas, and he spotted me from a distance.
It was the center of attention wherever Atlas was. Many socialites who had their eyes on him rushed toward him.

"She might be beautiful, but so what? She's someone's leftovers!" : "I'm sure she must have something special!" Several people sneered with ill intentions. I knew the deeper meaning behind those words.

At midnight, a grand ball in the central hall brought the atmosphere to a climax. We only danced for a song before retiring quietly to our room.
Like a hungry animal on his prey, Atlas eagerly pulled me into his embrace. It had been a long time since we were ®/7

I rushed to the outer room and opened the door. It was Ivanna.
