He didn't even bother looking at Holley more than three seconds.

His cold attitude spoke volume.

Cassius wasn't one to publicly shame others often. But Holley had crossed a line. Luis wouldn't act rashly. She must have influenced him.

She couldn't just waltz into the Mendez family like that!

Cassius then chatted and laughed happily with Kyler and Elva, treating Kyler like his own grandson...

Luis understood his hint.

He stuck by Holley throughout the party.

Even though he had somehow given up hope for their relationship, he still had to look out for her. She held a glass of juice, nibbled her lips, and asked, “Luis, did Elva do it on purpose?"

He replied honestly. “She didn't know you were here.”

Holley grew upset upon hearing that. Tears welled in her eyes as she said, "I'm your girlfriend. Why can't I come? She gets to come, but I don't?"

Luis put down his champagne with a sigh upon hearing this. “Her family is in business with mine."

His words cut Holley deeply.

After a long silence, she murmured softly, "So I'm the outsider here. You and she were the perfect match. I know you've regretted it!"

She was really giving him a headache.

Back when he hadn't been dating Holley, she'd been understanding and never picked fights.

But now, no matter what went wrong, she'd blame it on Elva. That wasn't fair.

Sometimes, Luis even wondered where the considerate Holley had gone.

He felt uneasy and glanced at Elva.

Elva was chatting with his mother. He could see his mother really liked her. But meanwhile, every now and then, his mom shot him angry looks.

Joann had hoped he'd introduce Elva to the family, but he never had.
