Chapter 343

The people they passed were left momentarily speechless, their eyes following with disbelief. More accurately, all eyes were on Xavier. It was likely the first time he had appeared at such a grand banquet, revealing his face to so many at once. He looked like a god who had stepped down from the heavens, radiating a presence that emanated from power and privilege. The effect was nothing short of breathtaking. In an instant, the rumors that had been circulating were crushed by reality. Just moments ago, people had been whispering that Scarlett was involved with some old man, meddling in someone else's marriage. Now, they watched in disbelief as she was led confidently across the ballroom by a strikingly handsome young man. Xavier strode forward without pause, Scarlett's hand firmly in his. Jessica blinked hard, then hurried over to Lily. "Lily, look! Is that Scarlett? How did she even get in here? And who's that man with her? He's insanely handsome!" Lily had spotted them too.
