Before Amelie could react, Leo removed her mask and pressed his lips onto hers, kissing her with all his might.

She tried to struggle, but it was as though he had gone mad. He held her body tightly, pressing her head down and not giving her any chance to escape. All she could do was whimper in protest, as she was unable to form coherent words.

At this moment, he aggressively stirred inside her, blurring her world.

Suddenly, footsteps approached. Someone is coming!

Leo seemed to have lost his hearing as all he wanted to do was kiss her. His kiss turned fierce, as though he was a wild beast, wanting to devour every inch of her.

Just then, the footsteps grew closer and closer. Judging from the sound, one could conclude that quite a few of them were present.

It wasn't anyone else but Alfred and the others from the Walsh Family.

"There are many young people here tonight and young girls like desserts. Ask the kitchen to prepare more, with a variety of options," Alfred said as he walked.

"Okay, Dad," his three daughters-in-law answered in unison, afraid of being slow in their responses.

Meanwhile, his three sons also followed closely, serving and attending to him. Behind them was the younger generation of the Walsh Family.

As the group marched forward, Amelie and Leo would soon be seen just around a corner.

Since the banquet was about to start, Alfred was in a hurry to get to the hall, so his steps were faster than usual.

At this moment, Amelie was completely stunned. All she felt was her head ringing, and she could already imagine the kind of reaction the Walshes would have when they saw this scene. However, she had no way to defend herself as Leo was acting like a total lunatic.

"Grandpa, the butler said he saw a snake around here this morning. It might not be safe to take this route. Let's use another way." Toby suddenly interjected as Alfred was about to step into the corner.

"A snake?" Alfred wasn't too concerned, but the people around him became anxious. "It's your birthday today. It will be such a jinx if we encounter a snake."

"That's right. If any of us gets bitten by a snake, it will ruin your birthday, and it will be a sin for us as children."

"We'd rather take the long way than risk it."

Alfred didn't want a snake to ruin everyone's mood, so he nodded. "Alright. Let's take the long way then."
