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.

The smug smile on Sheralyn’s face grew wider as she mocked, “It seems like Mr. Joaquin can’t help. you. What are you going to do now? Maybe no one here wants to dance with you! Oh no, this is so mortifying!”

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

crowd.

“Ms. Shalders, would you like to dance with me?”

Everyone turned around in the direction of the voice. Maverick had returned to the banquet hall at some point in time, and he was staring at Gwendolyn intently.

In actuality, he had never left the place and instead stayed in an inconspicuous spot for a while. Though he was not interested in being a part of the ladies’ drama, he figured there might be some problems with Gwendolyn’s dress since Natasha had finished dancing without any issues.

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.

While Maverick was acting out of good intentions, cenain people did not agree with him.

“Maverick!”

Natasha and Sheralyn uttered almost in unison.
