Vera?”
For a moment, the crowd seemed to struggle to remember who this woman was.

But Cerys had already slipped away from Angela, smiling as she ran up to Robin. “Robin, I know where Vera is! She’s in the room on the far left side of the logistics building. I can take y
there.”
With that, she took Robin by the hand and, practically bouncing with excitement, led him toward the
outheast side of the estate.
Angela and Jade wanted to stop her, but Cerys and Robin had already taken a few steps away. Trying to intervene now felt inappropriate, especially since they didn’t know Robin’s true identity.
Moreover, this strikingly handsome man, who had such a refined air about him, was carrying an invitation from Westeria Residence. He certainly didn’t look like some penniless nobody, and they didn’t want to risk making a mistake.
Growing up in a family as powerful as the Lynches, girls like Angela and Jade had learned to be cautious and self–serving, prioritizing what was beneficial for themselves above all else. If something wasn’t their concern, they didn’t meddle.
So Angela and Jade stayed where they were, neither calling out to Cerys nor approaching Robin, just watching him walk away with a curious gaze.
The man looked unfamiliar, and yet he knew Vera–he certainly didn’t seem like one of the noble sons from Brighton’s elite circles.
Rumor had it that Vera had a boyfriend in Harmonfield. Could this be him?
Was he here at Lynch Mansion to see Vera because he’d heard the Lynches were planning to marry her off to Hendrix from Westeria Residence?
Did he intend to whisk her away before that happened?
The Lynches alliance with Northlorn Residence was critical to their future. Angela and Jade had no desire to get involved in this matter. After all, Angela’s father, Vincent, was merely a collateral member of the Lynches, not Viola’s biological son. Their branch would never wield the family’s ultimate authority.
It was clear why Viola intended to bring Marie and Wren into the Lynch family–Kenneth’s position as Lynch Group’s second–generation leader remained secure. Even if the alliance with Northlon Residence went through, Lynch Group would never fall into Angela’s branch of the family.
She almost hoped some complications would arise, just enough to throw the current situation into chaos.
Jade leaned over and whispered, “Angela, do you think that man is here to stir things up?”
Angela shook her head. “What does any of this have to do with us?”
“Besides if there’s any trouble, Grandma and Kenneth will handle it. Let them deal with it.
“Let’s head over to the entertainment area.”
Everyone was silently speculating about Robin’s identity, but no one dared voice their thoughts aloud.

To the Lynches, Vera was an extremely sensitive topic. This matter involved both the Lynches and Northlorn Residence. And now, here was a man openly asking for Vera, which complicated things even more, especially since he held an invitation card from Westeria Residence,
One wrong word in this delicate situation could spell trouble. People in these circles knew better than to speak recklessly.
From a young age, they’d been taught the importance of knowing when to speak and how to speak–an unbreakable golden rule. Disasters often came from loose words, and silence could sometimes mean survival.
But in Wren’s eyes, this scene was a thrilling new chapter in her life.
Though she’d never set foot inside Lynch Mansion all these years, she was well–versed in the Lynches‘ affairs. Her mother often shared the family gossip, so she was familiar with who Vera was and the circumstances around her.
Today was Viola’s eightieth birthday celebration. Besides formally introducing Marie and Wren into the Lynch family. Viola had a more significant announcement planned: she intended to arrange a marriage between Vera, the Lynches‘ estranged granddaughter, and Hendrix.
Vera’s mother. Sharon Lynch, had been cast out of the family long ago for eloping with Vera’s father. Harvey Silva. Now, the Lynches wanted Vera to marry Hendrix, securing a strong alliance to safeguard. their family’s interests. Vera, however, had refused Viola’s decision, resulting in her confinement within Lynch Mansion.
The fact that this man, Robin, was now here asking for Vera was deeply suspicious. She was convinced Robin knew Vera, but she doubted he was anyone of high status.
Speeding up to catch Robin, she sneered coldly, “You just wait! I won’t let you have your way. I’ll expose you at the birthday banquet!”
“Oh? Are you sure you want to make an enemy out of me?” Robin stopped in his tracks, his voice indifferent.
“Hmph! Who do you think you are?” Wren scoffed, glaring at him. “You think you can ignore me? I won’t let you get away with it!”
Robin shook his head. “Is this all because I didn’t respond to your petty flirting? Sometimes, I wonder if women like you are truly unhinged.”
Wren’s eyes narrowed, a chill in her gaze. “I always get what I want. And if I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it!”
Kobin laughed coolly. “Fine. If you’re that intent on self–destruction, I’ll gladly help you along
Something about Robin’s composed expression sent a shiver down Wren’s spine, but she quickly recovered, her stare darkening with malice as he turned to walk away.
If I can’t take you down with this scandal, consider yourself lucky. Today, I’ll use the Lynches to get rid of you, you arrogant fool.
Steeling herself, Wren followed him at a distance, watching as Robin, guided by Cerys, made his way toward a small building on the southeast side of the estate. The building, secluded within the grounds, housed the estate’s servants and statt.
Two guards stood outside a particular room in the building, making the situation clear to Robin: Vera was

In an instant, fury flared in his eyes. He’d been wandering alone with Old Fred since childhood, never knowing the warmth of family. For years, he’d wondered what his parents and family might have been like growing up like an orphan despite them still being out there.
When he learned that Vera, too, endured a similarly lonely life, he couldn’t help but offer her small gestures of support, recognizing in her a kindred spirit. Despite her cheerful demeanor. he knew the deep loneliness she carried inside.
Seeing her confined like this, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed.
Vera’s reliance on him wasn’t surprising–she had no one else in the world to lean on, no family, no parents to protect her.
She was a vulnerable soul, like a helpless child lost and alone.
And yet, the powerful Lynches were
amelessly using her as a bargaining chip, trying to trade her off to
Northlon Residence to secure their interests.
The sheer depravity of it defied any sense of justice.
