Chapter 925:
Pausing, Chloe added, “Well, I’ve done all I can to help him. The rest is up to his own skill. His rivals are far too many; just thinking about it makes me lose hope. Dylan has never cared for any woman before. Now, just when he finally meets someone he loves, the competition is fierce. It seems he must overcome every obstacle to claim her heart.”
Eloise reached out and gently smoothed Chloe’s hair, her tone warm and reassuring. “Don’t worry. Everything will sort itself out in the end. No matter who Christina chooses, our bond with her will never change.”
At these words, a light sparked in Chloe’s eyes, and her lips curved into a bright, joyful smile once again.
“Exactly! No matter who Christina ends up with, she’ll always be our friend,” Chloe said with a cheerful laugh.
“Well, I think your brother stands a pretty good chance,” Eloise whispered, her voice laced with quiet amusement.
Chloe clasped Eloise’s hand and leaned closer, lowering her voice. “What makes you say that?”
“See for yourself.” Eloise gestured toward the dance floor. “Your brother and Christina have been dancing for so long, and Christina hasn’t once let go of your brother’s hand.”
Eloise was right. Beyond Dylan’s smooth movements in blocking other men from approaching Christina, there were also personal reasons behind Christina’s refusal to switch dance partners.
“You’re right! I hadn’t even noticed. It does seem like Christina has feelings for Dylan.” The realization settled warmly in Chloe’s chest, easing the unease she had felt before.
Eloise kept her gaze fixed on the dance floor, murmuring, “No matter who Christina chooses, I’ll support her without question.”

To Eloise, Christina was her savior, and for that reason alone, her loyalty was unwavering.
“Me too!” Chloe giggled, her wide, innocent eyes curling into crescent shapes as she smiled sweetly.
While the two women basked in their lighthearted joy, Brendon’s mood had soured completely. His focus, momentarily distracted by Yolanda earlier, was now fully locked on Christina, a slow-burning anger stirring within him.
Right now, four men were vying for Christina’s attention, and the other three were hardly lesser men than Dylan. One of them could very well be Robin—both were prominent heirs to distinguished, wealthy families.
Brendon’s irritation deepened, his discomfort gnawing at him the longer he watched. Since their divorce, Christina seemed to have grown even more captivating.
“What’s so special about that tramp Christina? Why are so many exceptional men drawn to her? What kind of tricks has she been playing?” Katie spat, her voice sharp with venom.
“Katie, don’t talk nonsense. It’s Christina’s excellence that attracts so many men to vie for her favor. But to have Mr. Scott make an exception—well—Christina does seem to have a particular talent for charming men,” Yolanda said in a soft, seemingly harmless tone, though her words dripped with insinuation. She was hinting, ever so slyly, that Christina knew exactly how to entice men, perhaps even in ways to please them intimately, which could explain why those men were all competing for her.
