As expected of our superstar ! Winning over the boss of Rosendale so effortlessly .
Looks like another man is about to fall under Alessia Belluccis spell ! Now the actor and CEO should be worried ! Thats right ! If Mr.
Lexington joins the competition , I doubt the other two even stand a chance .
After all , Rosendale is an international powerhouse , far bigger than the Vasquez Family .
If he decides to make a move , the entire entertainment industry will feel the tremors ! The murmurs spread like wildfire , but the faces of the two men standing beside her darkened with every word .
Alessia , has he done anything inappropriate ? You need to be careful and recognize who truly has your best interests at heart .
Nicholas interjected impatiently .
Meanwhile , Matteo stood a little farther away , his expression shadowed with loneliness .
I just want you to be happy .
With that , he turned and walked away .
Alessias eyes flickered with something unreadable and she waved her hands dismissively , feigning frustration .
What are you all saying ? Youre making too much of this ! He just did me a small favor .
How could he possibly fall for me so suddenly ? But even as she spoke , her gaze shifted through the crowd until it landed directly on me .
I overheard someone spreading rumors about Mr.
Lexington .
Since he helped me , its only right that I repay the favor .
After all , someone of Mr.
Lexingtons stature isnt someone just any random person can take advantage of … wouldnt you agree , Isla Vasquez ? With a poised elegance , she stepped toward me and as she moved , the sea of cameras turned , following her every step .
Long time no see , Isla .
Ive been so worried about you ever since you ran away from home three years ago .
I even blame myself .
If Nicholas hadnt fallen 22:27 Wed , 26 Feb 46 % in love with me and broken your heart , you wouldnt have left so quietly .
Thats why … I havent dared to accept their feelings all this time .
But its fine now ! I heard youve found someone new .
That really puts my .
heart at ease .
As she spoke , she gave me a playful wink .
Just then , a card slipped from the hem of her dress and fluttered to the ground .
She bent down gracefully to retrieve it , making sure the cameras captured every detail .
It was Victors business card .
She flashed an apologetic smile at the cameras .
Victor just reminded me that Im welcome to contact him anytime to discuss future collaborations .
Oh , right! Isla , whose family did you say you belonged to again ? All eyes snapped to me and in the next second , the crowd erupted into laughter .
I didnt expect the slap to come this fast ! She tried to act all high and mighty , but in the end , she completely embarrassed herself .
How hilarious ! Exactly! If Mr.
Lexington had any sense , he wouldnt spare her a second glance .
How could she ever compare to our beautiful goddess ? Youre all laughing at the pretentious one , but Im the only one who actually feels bad for Mr.
Dumont and Mr.
Vasquez .
Suddenly , they have such a powerful rival .

I cant even imagine how devastated they must be ! Under Alessias mocking gaze , I remained unfazed and spoke calmly .
I was clear enough the first time .
Im attending this dinner as a family member of the organizer .
I met her gaze head on , unshaken .
For a moment , she seemed unable to control herself and burst into laughter .
Isla , you should be careful with your words .
Tonights host isnt someone you can just name drop for fun .
Nicholas stepped forward then , his face twisted with contempt .
Isla Vasquez , Ive told you before .
I hate liars .
Do you think acting indifferent will change the way I see you ? If anything , it only makes me hate you even more ! Matteo , my brother , turned to me with helpless exasperation .

Everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of the enigmatic mogul .
The host chuckled but quickly changed his tone .
Unfortunately , our Mr.
Lexington is quite the eccentric .
No matter how much I pleaded , he refused to make an appearance .
However , I eventually discovered that theres only one person who can persuade Mr.
Lexington to grace us with his presence , his future wife .
The playful warm up was followed by an excited uproar from the audience .
Alessia ! Alessia ! Immediately afterward , many people shouted .

Lexingtons way of confessing is so unique ! The future Mrs.
Lexington must be our Alessia .
Its love at first sight ! Alessia ! Alessia ! The cheers were deafening , drowning out even the hosts voice .
Yet , amidst the enthusiasm , his expression turned slightly awkward .
