Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 78

"Tonight, I want everyone in Jarrow City to know that you, Grace, are under my protection."

His voice was soft, but it held an undeniable authority.

Grace’s heart skipped a beat for no reason.

***

The party was held at Jarrow City's top seven-star hotel.

Every guest was either rich or powerful.

The moment Grace entered the ballroom on Damien’s arm, nearly every eye in the room turned to them.

Looks of awe, curiosity, and speculation followed them.

Damien, however, acted as if he didn't notice, calmly leading her to a quieter corner.

He handed her a glass of juice.

"Don't be nervous. Just stay by my side," he reassured her in a low voice.

"You don't have to talk to anyone. I brought you here mainly to help you relax."

Grace nodded.

To be honest, she hated these kinds of events.

But Damien’s thoughtfulness helped her tense nerves unwind a little.

Damien soon ran into a few acquaintances and was pulled aside to talk.

Grace stood alone in the corner, quietly sipping her juice.

"Grace?"

A surprised and delighted voice called out from nearby.

Grace turned to see Lilian in a pink princess dress, looking at her with a wide, excited smile.

And standing beside Lilian was Dorian.

Grace's expression instantly turned cold.

She really couldn't seem to get rid of them.

Lilian gathered her skirts and hurried over, her face a mask of innocent joy.
