Chapter 14 An Ominous Feeling

On the night of Thunderscape Group's anniversary gala, Clifford showed up in a tailored suit and took every step in confidence. At his side, Lola was dressed in a soft pink gown, while Zayne was beside them in a tiny tuxedo and a little bow tie. Though Zayne hadn't fully recovered and wasn't suited for such events, he'd been eager to come after Lola promised him that the anniversary gala would be fun. Now, with the three of them standing together, they immediately sparked debates. "Is that Mr. Fuller's wife? They look so perfect together, and their son is adorable!" "I never thought Mrs. Fuller would be so young and beautiful. She looks like she's just graduated from college. She must take really great care of herself." As their debates rang in Lola's ears, she watched Clifford carefully for any reaction. And when he made no move to correct anyone, her smile widened. This was exactly why she'd brought Zayne here in the first place, so everyone would assume she was his mother.
