Bennett returned Duncan's stare with a look that said, ‘Are you an idiot?' "Do you think I would marry someone I don't love?"

Duncan was at a Loss for words.

Damn it!

Bennett had just Laid down a public display of affection, leaving him stumped.

“Why did you even invite me here? To flaunt your love life? Ugh!"

Bennett stood up, his eyes fixed on Claudia's image on the screen.

“Aren't you always concerned I might cheat on my wife?"

Duncan was speechless again.

Damn it!

Who could have seen this coming?

Questions swirled in Duncan's mind, but Bennett had run out of patience for explanations.

Bennett brushed past Duncan and began walking toward the stage, one step at a time.

For years, he had always approached Claudia this way.

Yet each time, she'd eluded him before he could reach her.

She was like a rabbit, swift and elusive.

Would she run away this time too?

Meanwhile, Kayla's thoughts seethed with disbelief and humiliation as she stared at the screen.

She couldn't accept it.

Shoving aside the person next to her, she stormed toward the stage in her high heels.

They must just resemble each other, she thought.

She couldn't believe it!

It couldn't be Claudia!

How could Bennett have adored Claudia for so many years?

Before she could even reach the stage, Kayla spotted a familiar figure. It was Bennett.
