No one can match your charisma. Now, with your union to the Whitman family, it's a powerhouse alliance. The business world will practically be at your and the Whitman family's feet." Lysander remained silent, his deep gaze fixed straight ahead.
The organizers continued to brown-nose: "Ms. Whitman is the embodiment of intellect and elegance, a beauty unmatched. She's the perfect match for Mr. Sinclair." Rosalind smiled and nodded at the organizer's words; she enjoyed hearing them.
She loved hearing how well-matched she and Lysander were, believing it to be true herself. In her eyes, no one could be a better fit for Lysander than she was, both in status and in beauty.

To Lysander, love was just a gin the realm of romance, and those who took it seriously were bound to lose.
As Thalassa contemplated this, her heart felt as if it were being squeezed, making it hard to breathe under the weight of her emotions.
When Lysander had confessed his feelings for her, she was initially shocked, thrilled, and even swayed. She had almost confessed her feelings in return. Looking back, she was relieved she hadn't. It would have been a mistake, turning her affections into a mere joke.
Lost in her melancholic thoughts, Thalassa suddenly felt the piercing gaze of Lysander. His deep, cold eyes locked onto hers, sending a shiver down her spine. Quickly, she averted her gaze, turning away and sitting up straight, pretending as if she hadn't been looking at all.
Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Thalassa reminded herself of Lysander's formidable presence. Just one look from him could instill a sense of apprehension. She needed a moment to steady her roiling emotions. But why was Lysander still using a wheelchair? Had Lydia not been able to heal him? X
