Osborne glanced at Nina, saying nothing.
In the dim light, his expression was hard to read.
Gordon, noticing Nina's disheveled state, asked, "What happened?"
The guests, inclined to side with Nina, cautiously explained the situation without casting blame on Xavier, mindful of Stella's favorable impression due to her stunning dance..
After listening, Gordon grasped the gist of the matter.
He smiled reassuringly and offered a few consoling words to Nina before leading the guests back to the main hall.
Osborne, still scrutinizing Nina, asked coldly, "What did you say to her?"
Seeing his displeasure, Nina hurried to explain, "We're about to get engaged. I just hoped she could wish us well, but she got angry and threw wine at me."
"Is that so?" Osborne frowned, his face growing colder.
