Jonathan didn’t even glance at Jenna. Snickers quickly broke out around the room.

“Look at her nerve–Mr. Fullbuster’s here with his wife, and she still tries to throw herself at him. Might as well stamp ‘wannabe mistress‘ on her forehead.”

“Some starlets really buy into their own hype. Just because fans worship them, they think they’re irresistible.”

The whispers stung. Jenna bit her lip, face tight with indignation.

She slammed her wine glass onto the table, swept her gaze over the crowd, and snapped, “You’re all just jealous–none of you have the guts I do!”

Then, she yanked up her dress and stormed out after the couple.

Outside the ballroom, Anneliese tried to slip her hand free from Jonathan’s arm, but he caught it firmly instead.

Zion approached, quick steps echoing, holding Anneliese’s shawl and Jonathan’s coat.

“Mr. Fullbuster. Mrs. Fullbuster.” He nodded politely.

Jonathan took the shawl and wrapped it around Anneliese’s shoulders, then grabbed the coat from Zion. “The night air’s chilly–better wear this too.”

He draped the cashmere coat over her. It carried his clean, woody scent, and on her petite frame it looked oversized, almost comically so, like a kid trying on her dad’s jacket–even with her stilettos on.

Jonathan slipped an arm around her, ready to leave. But the sharp click of high heels came from behind.

“Mr. Fullbuster, please wait!”

It was Jenna again.

Jonathan’s sharp, handsome features hardened, his voice cold. “Halcyon & Co.’s endorsement has nothing to do with me. And I don’t know you.”

Without another look, he took Anneliese’s hand and started walking.

However, Jenna rushed after him again. “Mr. Fullbuster, I have something to tell you! Can we

talk in private?”

This time, Jonathan didn’t even turn his head.

Zion, well–practiced in dealing with things like this, stepped in front of her like a wall.

Still, as Jonathan walked farther away, Jenna’s panic grew. She called out, louder, “It’s about Mrs. Fullbuster! You’ll regret not hearing me out!”

Anneliese froze mid–step.

Seriously? Why am I getting dragged into this circus?

Jonathan squeezed her hand, his tone impatient. “Ignore her.”

He had no need to learn about his wife from anyone else’s mouth, but Anneliese shook her head. “No, I want to hear what she thinks she knows.”

She had never even spoken to Jenna before, yet Jenna kept acting like she had dirt on her. Better to hear her out now than let her stir up trouble later.

Jonathan sighed, then gave Zion a look. Zion reluctantly stepped aside.

Jenna came closer, batting thick false lashes, her lips trembling like she had some devastating secret, though her eyes flickered nervously toward Anneliese. “Mr. Fullbuster, can I speak to you alone? It’s really important.”

Jonathan’s patience snapped. His arm tightened around Anneliese’s waist as he snapped, “Are you deaf? My wife said she wants to hear you–so talk.”

Jenna’s career had been smooth sailing these past couple of years. Fans praised her looks to the skies; wherever she went, cameras flashed and compliments followed. She had never imagined Jonathan would treat her with such blunt disgust.

She couldn’t accept it. In beauty, she was every bit as good as Anneliese. In career, she was a rising star, miles ahead. And unlike Anneliese, she wasn’t once divorced.

Once she exposed Anneliese for what she really was, Jonathan would see her true colors—and realize Jenna was the better choice.
