Kate and Meggie looked up to see Seraphina Linden’s bright, lively eyes sparkling with a playful smile directed at them. Even though they didn’t like Seraphina, they were still stunned by her striking beauty and those bright eyes. As fellow women, they couldn’t deny that her allure was captivating, which only proved in their minds that Seraphina was nothing more than a home-wrecking vixen. Meggie was trembling with rage and sarcastically sneered, "I’ve seen many mistresses, but this is the first time I’ve seen one so brazen." "Mistress" Seraphina Linden, emmm... if you were to do the math, in no way could she be the homewrecker here. Seraphina didn’t intend to waste time with those insignificant people. She scanned the room and quickly found Julian Rathborne in the center of the hall. She gestured towards him with her gaze, "What do you see over there?" Kate and Meggie followed Seraphina’s gaze and immediately spotted Julian Rathborne, "Mr. Rathborne, huh? What now, what’s your next trick?" Seraphina blinked innocently, "Don’t overthink, imagining too much is a kind of sickness, you know. Look, there’s Mr. Rathborne, I’ll leave him to you, enjoy your time, I have to go now." With that, Seraphina turned and left. Kate and Meggie, "..." They were dumbfounded. How could they have possibly expected that after storming over in such anger, Seraphina would simply dismiss them with a "Look, Mr. Rathborne is over there, he’s all yours"? This woman truly knows how to make an unforgettable impression with her words. "Stop right there!" Meggie blocked Seraphina’s path. Seraphina looked up at Meggie, "Do you need something?" "Of course, I’ve got a proposition. Do you dare play a game with us?" "A game?" Seraphina’s eyes lit up. She loved games, "Is it fun?" "Oh, it’s fun, very entertaining. How about a game of Truth or Dare?" Meggie’s eyes gleamed with scheming intent. Of course, Seraphina knew Meggie wasn’t up to any good, but she nodded, "Alright, you’re so keen on inviting, I’ll indulge you. Consider it some amusement for myself. But mind you, I’m quite the player, so if you lose badly, don’t start crying." Meggie gathered a few more people, and they all sat down at a long table. Meggie placed a beer bottle in the center, "The rules for this game of Truth or Dare are simple. I’ll spin the bottle, and whoever it points to will play Truth or Dare." "Okay." Everyone nodded unanimously. Meggie stood up and began spinning the bottle. Soon, the bottle stopped, pointing directly at... Seraphina. Seraphina showed no surprise at the outcome. She calmly curled her red lips, "Alright, I’ll play." Meggie felt that the big fish, Seraphina, had taken the bait, and the fun was about to begin, "So, will it be Truth or Dare?" Seraphina tilted her head slightly, "I’ll choose... Dare, that’s more exciting." "Alright, for this Dare, you have to take out your phone and call someone. And that someone must be... your first lover!" Meggie said with a smile. At this moment, Kate discreetly pulled Meggie aside, "Rory, why this Dare?" "Kiki, don’t you get it? I want to expose this vixen in front of Mr. Rathborne. Who knows how many men she’s been with? Once she makes that call, Mr. Rathborne will definitely be disgusted with her, and then he’ll see your pure-heartedness and how good you are." "But how will Mr. Rathborne hear it?" "Don’t you worry about that." Meggie nodded at one of the waiters in the hall, who quickly understood and connected Seraphina’s phone to the hall’s audio system via Bluetooth, ensuring that once Seraphina made the call, the entire party would hear the conversation. Kate’s heart was pounding. As a well-bred young lady, she had never done such a thing, "Rory, isn’t this going too far, perhaps we’re being too mean..." "Kiki, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. We can’t pity such a vixen. That’s enough talking, I’ll settle this for you, just watch." Meggie stated decisively. Across from them, Seraphina seemed unaware of their whispered scheming. She took out her phone, "Alright, I’ll make the call." Meggie’s eyes shone, finally, the main event was here. Seraphina lowered her eyes and dialed a string of numbers on her phone, then placed the call. Meanwhile, Julian Rathborne felt a vibration in his pocket. Someone was calling him. Julian took out his phone and saw it was Seraphina calling. He lifted his refined eyes, glancing towards Seraphina who was playing a game in the distance. How curious, she was calling him. At this moment Riley Sutton came over and whispered a few words into Julian’s ear. Julian listened, slightly furrowing his brow, then pressed the button to answer the call. As soon as the call connected, the waiter bought off by Meggie promptly connected it to the broadcast system. Seraphina pretended to be oblivious and spoke, "Hello." The word "Hello" instantly echoed throughout the entire party, drawing everyone’s eyes towards Seraphina.

Meggie wasn’t the least bit curious about who Seraphina’s first love was. She was sure it was someone insignificant, without money or status. As long as she could prove to Julian that Seraphina had been with another man, that was enough. The next second, a deep, magnetic voice came through the speakers, cold and distant, "Do you need something?" Do you need something? Meggie was instantly startled, the voice sounded so pleasant, and somehow familiar? Just then, Kate tugged at her with a ghostly expression, "Rory, take a look at who’s on the phone..."
