mong their classmates, some of the more emotional female students began to cry again.
Meanwhile, others were still reeling from the shock of Alexei kneeling before a woman.
Though he was proposing marriage, his humble and trusting demeanor was hard to match with the rumors of him being a ruthless figure who killed without shedding blood.
People had only heard rumors of Alexei’s doting affection for his girlfriend, but witnessing it firsthand, they realized the rumors were not unfounded.
Furthermore, the exclusive emotion flowing between them made it clear to anyone who saw them that they deeply loved each other.
While the previous declaration drew onlookers out of curiosity and for the spectacle.
This
one, however, truly made them feel the happiness of lovers.
Even a brief, tender kiss shared from an unequal position was more moving than the intense, forbidden passion the previous couple experienced.
Under the starry sky surrounded by mountains, the band switched to a romantic violin piece. The crowd, still stunned by the grand confession, remained captivated by the divine beauty
of the handsome man and woman.
Eileen, relieved after finishing his task, patted his chest, smiled, and gave his team a thumbs- up. “Perfect.”

Meanwhile, in the dimly lit area, Lucas was pinned to the ground with a handkerchief gagging him. He struggled fiercely to rush out and stop the proposal, but the sight of it deeply seared his eyes.
He realized that he had truly lost Natasha forever.
She seemed to be truly loving that man wholeheartedly. They… were in love.
Shawn removed his foot from Lucas’s back, a hint of scorn on his lips. “Lucas, what’s the point? Regret is the most worthless emotion. If you’ve already let go of someone, don’t blame others for cherishing what you lost.”
He continued, “Honestly, with your status and resources, it wouldn’t be difficult for you to gain the upper hand in the Wright family’s power struggle. It’s a shame you chose to step in

and cause a scene.”
Lucas squandered a good hand.

Shawn pressed the foot that had touched Lucas’s back firmly to the ground. Wearing a cold expression, he signaled to his subordinates. “Drag him away. Give him a proper welcome.”
The disappearance of the main character from the previous confession event went unnoticed.
Those unaware of Alexei’s identity stared in shock after their classmates informed them.
Earlier, when David accused Natasha of cozying up to an old man, people didn’t believe him. But they were still curious about what the hotel’s former owner looked like.
Unexpectedly, the truth was revealed so quickly, making him look foolish.
Alexei was one of a kind, the best of the best.
Some people who secretly shipped Lucas and Natasha back in high school were heartbroken when Lucas publicly confessed to the school’s famous cross–dresser. But when Alexei appeared, they instantly revived.
No one told them how sweet a real couple could be.
Natasha was introducing Alexei to Claire and Kiara, “This is Claire, our class monitor, and Kiara, our classmate.”
She then took Alexei’s hand and gestured. “This is my boyfriend, and also my fiancé, Alexei.”
Alexei nodded at them. “Hello, I am Natasha’s boyfriend and fiancé.”
Claire and Kiara both had a knowing smile on their faces. “We get it, we get it. We wish you a speedy marriage and a harmonious life together.”
Alexei was delighted to hear this. He rarely smiled at strangers, but he did this time. “When we get married, Natasha will send you invitations.”
Kiara’s eyes lit up. She just got an invitation to the wedding of the Turner Group’s head.
Claire’s eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Though the beautiful moments of their youth were fleeting, those who came after were clearly superior.

As they were talking, a flash suddenly went off nearby.

A girl holding a phone looked at them, her face flushing with surprise and embarrassment after being caught taking a candid photo.
She apologized, “I’m sorry. I just thought you two looked so good together.”
Kiara knew Alexei’s dislike for being photographed, but the woman was just an ordinary student who didn’t know about the taboos in their circle. She quickly intervened, saying, “I’ll go have them delete the photos right now.”
Major events kept happening tonight, and many people probably took photos and videos. They had to make sure none of them got out.
The photos she took herself were all for her private collection.
Unexpectedly, Alexei glanced at the photo in the girl’s hand, his expression surprisingly calm “No need. It’s normal to take photos at a class reunion for memories. Don’t let me disrupt everyone.”
‘So, he just let her go?‘ Kiara looked at him unexpectedly.
The girl, initially very nervous, thanked him gratefully and left. She found this rumored scion not as unapproachable as she’d heard.
However, Claire, the bystander, gave him a glance.
She thought he probably wanted to take the opportunity to assert his claim.
Others didn’t know, but she knew very well who Lucas’s true confession target was tonight.
Alexei indeed had this intention.
If he really wanted to control it, he wouldn’t have given them the chance to take photos from
the start.
His relationship with Natasha was not something that had to be kept secret.
Letting more people know would also prevent future indiscretions.
Moreover, Lucas always brought up the past simply because he had nothing else to say besides time and memories.
This time, it was perfect to let those who witnessed their past witness the beginning of him and Natasha again.

He recalled the girl’s disgusted, wronged, and repulsed expression when she first appeared earlier today.
He glanced at the now empty shadowed spot, his gaze cold and indifferent.

Regardless of how the night’s exciting scenes spread wildly through classmates‘ social networks, after introducing Alexei to Claire, Natasha didn’t make him patiently deal with classmates she wasn’t even familiar with herself.
She directly led Alexei back to the villa, holding his hand.
If they didn’t leave soon, she feared his gaze would burn her up.
