"Zoe, be careful."

The man spoke to Zoe in a gentle tone, bending down to meticulously adjust her elaborate gown, afraid she might trip over her high heels and embarrass herself.

"Thank you, Jason." Zoe blinked her big eyes flirtatiously, her voice was soft and sultry.

The sudden appearance of this troublesome woman disrupted the warm atmosphere.

Ryan was well aware that Zoe would surely show up on such occasions. Having just escaped from her exile, Zoe was eager to regain attention from the upper social circles and reclaim her lost dignity. He thought that after experiencing such disgrace, the respectable people of Savrow would no longer care about her. However, he did not expect men to be fawning over her.

Justin looked puzzled, but Bella smoothly intervened. "That's Jason Solloway, the only son of Mayor Solloway."

"Bella, I don't even know who that guy is, and yet you recognize him?" Justin held the hand of the young woman tightly, his gaze filled with admiration and adoration as he looked at her.

Bella explained, "It's understandable that you don't recognize him. Jason is not involved in politics or the social scene here in Savrow. He's been studying overseas in Inalia and probably just returned home recently."

As she spoke, Bella glanced at Zoe and Jason with a deep, mysterious look in her eyes.
