Chapter 327
Tina had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the couple in the middle of the dance floor. When she realized who Ray was holding, she was dumbfounded. âMom, are my eyes playing tricks on met Why is Ray dancing with that woman?â
As Jasmine walked, she occasionally tugged at her clothes, making sure she looked perfect. In a grand setting like this, she had to maintain an impeccable image. Hearing Tinaâs startled voice, she reprimanded Tina, âDo you know where we are? Shouting like that is not ladylike at all! Your manners are getting wonelâ:
Tina had no time to heed Jasmineâs scolding. Instead, she tugged at Jasmineâs sleeve. âItâs Foxy Damon, Mort Ray is dancing with Foxy Damon!â She pointed towards the dance floor, emphasizing her words,
The mention of âFoxy Damonâ caught Jasmineâs attention. She swallowed the reprimand she was about to give and followed Tinaâs gaze. Sure enough, in the center of the dance floor, against a deep blue backdrop, a couple in white attire was dancing gracefully.
The man was tall and elegant, moving fluidly and handsomely. The woman was slender with graceful curves. As she moved to the music, following the manâs lead, her steps were light and agile. Their perfect coordination and elegant dance moves had already captivated the onlookers, who were all watching in amazement
Jasmineâs gaze focused on the womanâs fox mask. She watched âFoxy Damonâ live streams often enough to recognize that mask instantly. âNo way, how could Foxy Damonâ be connected to Ray? Her heart pounded wildly, but she quickly reassured herself, âIt must be a similar mask.â
With Foxy Damon making a comeback, her mask had become a popular item on various eâcommerce platforms. Tonightâs there was a masquerade ball, so it wasnât surprising that someone who took Foxy Damon as an idol would wear it.
âMaybe sheâs just his new girlfriend, Jasmine speculated further. Among these rich youngerâgeneration heirs, apart from Edwin, the others were quite unrestrained when it came to women. Their speed at changing girlfriends was unbelievable.
âReally?â Tina replied slowly. She didnât care much whether the woman on the dance floor was the real âFoxy Damonâ To her, as long as Randall wasnât surrounded by women, she was happy.
Jasmine, however, was different. Despite trying to convince herself otherwise, she couldnât help but feel uneasy. Sharon had already announced her engagement to the owner of Bisney Entertainment, and now, the only woman her son was fond of and suitable for him was Foxy Damon.
Jasmine kept scrutinizing the couple on the dance floor, analyzing and reevaluating but found no conclusive answer. Eventually, she decided to
take Tina to find Conor.
âHappy birthday, Conor.â Jasmine presented a gift,
âHappy birthday, Mr. Gildon. Tina also handed over a gift.
Conor chuckled as he looked at the two of them. âEdwin already gave me a gift. You didnât need to spend more.â
Conor and Melta had been good friends, so Conor was always kind to the Stanley family.
âYou only celebrate your birthday once a year. This is our only chance to give you a gift, so please accept it, Tina said sweetly. She might not be the brightest, but she was good at flattering people. Conor laughed even more heartily and had his butler accept the gifts.
Jaunine exchanged a few pleasantries with Conor before steering the conversation. âConor, why did you let Ray take the first dance this year? Didnât you always say that you were worried about him casually dating and bringing those girls around would leave a bad impression on everyone!â
Hearing Jasmineâs question, Conor crossed his hands behind him and looked up in Rayâs direction. âThat kid usually fools around, but heâs never brought a date to my birthday before. If heâs brought her tonight, he must be serious.â
âWho is this lucky lady that caught Rayâs eye?â Jasmine inquired further.
Conorâs gaze grew stern. âFoxy Damon. I hear sheâs a popular online celebrity. Hut as long as he likes her, her background doesnât matter.â He wasnât familiar with online celebrities and had only just learned about Foxy Damon from someone else, who mentioned her large following
âFoxy Damon?â Jasmineâs expression almost crumbled as she got confirmation from Conor. She cursed inwardly. This is exactly what Iâm afraid of! How did my future daughterâinâlaw suddenly become Rayâs girlfriend?
Jasmine forced a smile and exchanged a few more words with Conor, her heart pounding and filled with an overwhelming sense of loss. Fortunately, others came to greet Conor, giving her an excuse to step back. She kept her eyes glued to the couple on the dance floor, breathing rapidly. She wondered, âWhatâs happening to the world! Why canât anything go my way! First, I lost the inheritance battle, and now my sonâs marriage is a mess tool Thinking about the past and the current situation, Jaunine felt suffocated and oppressed.
Unlike Jasmine, Tina was thrilled. She was pleased that Foxy Damonâ was with Ray rather than Edwin. If Foxy Damon was with Ray, Tina wouldnât have to worry about getting rid of her in the future. With Foxy Damon out of the way, Randall was all hers. Feeling overjoyed, Tina took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of Bay and Sharon. She selected the clearest one and sent it to Randall.

thought about it, the happier she felt. She couldnât help but hum a little tune.
When the dance ended, applause erupted, and people, whether sincere or not, showered Foxy Damon and Ray with praise,
Sharon quickly stepped away from Rayâs embrace, her eyes instinctively scanning the crowd. She didnât see Edwin. The spot where he had been standing was now empty. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Edwin had been standing there earlier, and although he hadnât done anything, his presence had been incredibly intimidating Sharon had missed several steps in the dance. Luckily, Ray had reacted quickly and covered for her, so no one noticed. She bit her lip in frustration, annoyed that she was still so easily influenced by Edwin
âFoxy Damon, your dancing is truly remarkable, like watching a flowing stream. We couldnât take our eyes off youâ As soon as Sharon stepped off the dance floor, Rayâs aunts, Karna and Panny, surrounded her, brimming with enthusiasm. One held her left arm, the other her right, treating her
Like a star.
Looking at their overly enthusiastic faces, Sharon felt uncomfonable, reminded of their earlier conversation by the rockery. The Gildon family was used to wearing masks, and she couldnât seamlessly navigate their many facades. She remained silent, lips tightly pressed.
Ray approached to intervene, but Kama spoke first. âRay, your grandfather has something important to discuss with you. Donât keep him waiting.â
âThatâs right. Foxy Damon is in good hands with us, donât worry,â Panny also chimed in with agreement.
Rayâs lips curled subtly under his mask as he looked at Sharon. She shook her head to signal she was fine. Then he strode towards his grandfather.
âRay is always so considerate towards women,â Karna remarked, watching him leave.
Panny nodded. âYes, although heâs been a bit of a playboy these years and hasnât seriously dated anyone, he used to dote on Camila. Heâd do anything for her. If not for what happened later⦠At this point, Karna gave her a sharp nudge and a meaningful look.
