Not only was Daphne stunned, but also Jasmine, Nicolas, and the other guests around them were all stunned.

“Wren, what do you mean by that?” Daphine finally snapped out of it and asked urgently.

“Literally,” Wren said, “If Zoya really wants money, wouldn’t choosing me be better? What I can give her is far more than Nicolas can offer, isn’t it?”

Daphne looked utterly surprised. She thought, ‘What does this mean?

What did he mean that he is a better option?

It is as if the choice is placed in Zoya’s hands.

‘How could an influential figure like Wren possibly place the power of choice in someone else’s hands?’

Nicolas’s expression kept changing. At this moment, humiliation, anxiety, and an indescribable uneasiness welled up within him.

He thought, ‘After we divorced, did she get together with Wren immediately?

‘Has she really let go of all her feelings for me?’

“Zoya, we just divorced, and you’re already with someone else?” Nicolas suddenly asked.

He was completely unaware that his tone at that moment sounded exactly like a husband confronting his cheating wife.

Zoya scoffed, “As you said, we’ve already divorced. Who I choose to be with is none of your business. Do I still need to report it to you?”

“But…” Nicolas choked.

He thought, ‘This is too fast, especially since it is Wren!’

After divorcing him, she not only didn’t fare poorly but instead found someone better, which made him feel as if something heavy was pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

It was as if it was proving that her divorce from him was the right decision.

“Zoya, Mr. Richmond is just sympathetic to you for the moment!” Nicolas said, simultaneously looking at Wren.

He added, “Mr. Richmond, Zoya is an orphan with no background, unlike the women around you. So please, Mr. Richmond, don’t tease Zoya anymore.

“Please don’t make her develop genuine feelings for you. It would become a problem for you.”

Nicolas’s statement clearly told those around him that Wren wasn’t truly interested in Zoya.

It also highlighted the status gap between Zoya and Wren

He believed that if he offered Wren an out, Wren would naturally back down

He thought, ‘After all, a man like Wren, even if interested in Zoya, would only be toying with her. He would never be serious

about her.

Jasmine bit her lip. She naturally didn’t want Zoya to be with Wren

But at this moment, Nicolas’s attitude made her feel a faint uneasiness.

She thought, “They are already divorced, but why does Nicolas care more about Zoya than when they were married?

It is as if he doesn’t want Zoya to be taken by other men.

‘Could Nicolas…

‘No, that’s impossible!”

Jasmine comforted herself, knowing Nicolas loved her. Although Nicolas still used “friendship” as an excuse, she felt that it was merely to avoid gossip.

After some time, once the controversy surrounding Nicolas’s divorce gradually subsides, their relationship would naturally evolve beyond just friends.

“Sympathy?” Wren chuckled, his lips curling in mockery. “Mr. Mayer, it seems you truly don’t understand Zoya.”

He thought, ‘For a woman like her, who has the right to pity her?’

Moreover, he never intended to toy with her. Although he initially wanted her to stay by his side out of interest because she never abandoned him in times of crisis, he thought doing so might lessen his interest in her.

Yet, the more time he spent with her, the more he found himself caring about her.

“I am serious about Zoya. If she agrees, I’m ready to be wtih her any time,” Wren said.

As soon as he said this, whispers erupted around them.

Daphne asked in surprise, “Wren, what do you mean? Are you going to date Zoya?”

Wren’s eyelashes trembled slightly as he thought, ‘Dating? Merely dating might not be enough for me.

‘I seem to want even more!’

Wren said, looking at Zoya, “Zoya, if you’re willing, let’s be together. From this day forward, you’ll be my girlfriend!”

Zoya was stunned, staring blankly at him.

His usually clear voice, now a little hoarser than usual, escaped his thin lips as they parted.

His gaze was captivating, easily stirring her heart as if by enchantment.

She thought, ‘Is he serious, or is he just saying that to help me save face?’

Upon hearing this, Daphne became anxious. “How can Zoya be your girlfriend? She has nothing. How can she be worthy of you?”

Wren looked at Daphne with a mocking gaze. “So you think you are worthy?”

Daphne flinched, then raised her chin. “Yes, I am the descendant of Joe. I am more suitable for you than Zoya, and I am worthy of being with you!”

This was her pride. She was the princess of her family, held an important position in the Lucero Group, and the rest of her

family always flattered her when they saw her.

The Lucero family was a prominent family in Marabotara.

In Marabotara, she should be the woman most suited to be with Wren.

The mockery in Wren’s eyes grew stronger. He asked, “Your abilities? If it weren’t for the Richmond family’s support, how much ability do you think you’d truly have?

“Daphne, have we given you so many benefits that you actually believe you’re capable?”

His cold tone and indifferent gaze instantly made Daphne’s face turn pale.

His words seemed to remind her that everything she possessed was merely due to his influence, and without his and the Richmond family’s support, she would have nothing.

Just like before she met him that year, she was merely an unfavored illegitimate daughter.

Later, at the cost of an eye, she officially became part of the Lucero family, and her father finally agreed to marry her mother.

Among the guests at the party, some knew the reason behind Daphne’s rise in the Lucero family.

After hearing Wren’s words, the guests looked at Daphne with varied expressions, each with their own speculations.

Daphne stiffened and spoke with difficulty. “What does Zoya have? Besides her parents being martyrs, what other abilities does she possess?

“What can she do for you? Wren, don’t forget, I was even willing to sacrifice an eye for you!”

Daphne intentionally mentioned her eye to evoke Wren’s guilt.

But he remained calm and cold.

Wren said, “I don’t need her to do anything for me, but if you continue to belittle her in front of me, then I won’t hesitate to put you back in your place!”

At that moment, even the mockery was gone from his eyes, leaving only endless coldness.

Daphne felt her blood freeze instantly.
