Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 315

"Dorian, thank you so much for today. I really loved the birthday party. You're so good to me," Jessica said with a warm smile.

Dorian took the cake from her, nodding slightly. He appeared nonchalant, but every detail of the party reflected his care for Jessica.

Around them, the guests chimed in with compliments. "Indeed, Mr. Hawke treats Jessica so well. It's rare to see such devotion." One of the guests was suddenly interrupted by a sharp nudge from his wife.

She shot him a warning glance, subtly pointing towards Elysia, who was standing nearby. Realizing his faux pas, the guest's face turned pale; he had inadvertently insulted Elysia, who hailed from the influential Moon family, nearly as powerful as the Hawkes. He quickly retreated, falling silent.

Seeing Dorian had taken the cake, Jessica poured a glass of wine and approached Elysia. "Ms. Moon, thank you for attending my birthday party. I truly didn't expect you'd come."

Jessica's words dripped with sweetness, her smile serene, but her eyes danced with challenge. Even Amara, standing beside Elysia, felt her anger rising.

Elysia, known for her fiery temper, couldn't let Jessica's provocation slide. With a swift motion, she knocked over the wine glass, the cold liquid splattering onto Jessica's pristine dress, prompting a startled scream.

"How desperate are you to come and say that to me? Are you so starved for attention that you'd even steal someone else's husband?"

The words were harsh, leaving Jessica frozen in shock, her face as pale as a sheet.

Laughter erupted around them, eyes full of scorn turning towards Jessica. In a panic, she sought out Dorian, tears welling up.

"Apologize to Jessica and then leave," Dorian commanded, striding over with an aura of icy anger.
