She turned to Joaquin, whose face turned pale in embarrassment. “M-Ms. Shalders… I don’t know how to dance Lover. I’m so sorry,” he mumbled.

Gwendolyn did not say anything, nor did she intend to blame him.

Still, Gwendolyn stayed quiet and instead scanned the men present.

Charmed by her beauty, some noblemen were tempted to ask her to dance. However, since they were under the assumption that her gown was a fake, they stayed in their seats in the end for fear that they would be shamed on stage with her.

Two minutes passed by, and no one was willing to dance with Gwendolyn.

Seeing that, Sheralyn arched her eyebrows and grinned triumphantly.

Just as she was about to ridicule Gwendolyn again, a deep male voice sounded from the back of the

If he danced with Gwendolyn, he could help to discreetly cover her waist in case her dress burst open. That way, he could save her from humiliation.
