Chapter 793:
A ripple of excitement passed through the crowd. “Look, Verruckt is here!”
Heads turned toward the entrance in unison. Curious, Melany looked over and saw a silver-haired figure
commanding attention with his mere presence. He clutched a bouquet of roses, their vivid colors drawing every
eye, including hers.
Her heart skipped a beat as she admired Verruckt’s distinguished profile. If those roses were meant for her, she'd
certainly be the talk of the night. The thought brought a blush to her cheeks.
However, Verruckt soon headed into the restricted inner area, leaving Melany to wonder who would end up with
those beautiful roses.
Verruckt entered the venue, his gaze swiftly finding Allison, who was secluded in a dim corner.
“Here,” he said, handing her the roses, their fragrance rich and heady, wafting through the air. “This evening is
dedicated to you, along with these blooms.” The soft lights cast a ruby glow in Verruckt’s eyes, adding a layer of
intrigue to his words. The banquet held more than just ceremonial significance, woven with hidden intentions.
Allison breathed in the lush scent of the roses, grasping the deeper message as she accepted them with a gentle
nod. “Thank you.”

card hidden among the petals, its presence suggesting secrets layered upon secrets.

his lips. “People are fickle—loyalty shifts with the prospect of gain.”
Allison met his gaze, her expression composed. “It doesn’t bother me.”
Adjusting the bouquet, she discovered a packet of powder cleverly concealed within. The roses, it turned out,
were a beautiful facade.
Cradling the bouquet closer, Allison spoke, her lips twisting into a knowing smile. “They're truly exquisite. |
cherish them.”
The surrounding guests caught snippets of their exchange, their smiles broadening, and a few clapped in
appreciation.
“What a striking couple!”
“Those must be the rare Juliet roses, each a small fortune!”
“Verruckt certainly knows how to make a statement.”
