In the midst of leaving through the crowd, a waiter accidentally bumped into her. Amelia felt a brief sting in her arm as if a bee had stung her, but it quickly faded away.
The waiter promptly apologized. "Ah, I'm sorry miss." "It's... It's okay." Amelia shrugged it off and turned to leave quickly.
As the waiter watched her walk away, a hint of a smirk crossed his face.
Amelia was standing on the deserted balcony, feeling the evening breeze in her hair and looking at the moon.

But she had already made the painful decision to let go.
From now on, there would be no Steven in her life... Should she have one final conversation with him to clarify everything and have closure? After much deliberation, Amelia finally mustered the courage. Her hands were trembling as she turned on her phone. As soon as the signal connected, countless missed calls and messages flooded her screen.
Steven had never stopped trying to reach her, every word filled with deep affection. Amelia pressed her fingers onto her chest, where her heart seemed to have shattered into pieces. Biting her cherry lips until they bled, she couldn't stop the tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Steven... I don't want to be separated from you." Suddenly, she felt her vision blurred by tears. Her delicate body swayed violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.
"Ms. Amelia, what's wrong with you?" A nervous voice reached her ears, but Amelia's mind was muddled, her ears ringing. The next moment, she was fiercely pulled into someone's embrace. She could even feel the restless palm on her tender shoulder, lewdly caressing her.
"Who are you? Don't touch me!" Amelia trembled, trying to struggle but unable to muster any strength. Her eyes filled with tears. "Heh heh, don't be nervous. Just relax." The man smirked, his lips lasciviously brushing against her cheek, which he had long coveted. "I will take good care of you."

"But... A group of people passed by from the dance floor, and Ms. Amelia suddenly vanished. Second Young Master Iverson is missing too!" .
"Useless!" Asher's eyes glare with fury, his anger palpable.

Veins bulged on Asher's forehead, and his voice was hoarse as if torn.
"Search discreetly. Don't inform Ghairman Thompson for now. Spare him the worry. If we don't find my sister before the end of the banquet, you can think about how you'll face your demise!" .
The Thompson family's bodyguards scattered throughout the castle immediately, launching a thorough search. Asher was no longer in the mood for socializing and joined the search himself.
