"You two go first."
Vespera directed Fawn to the window and helped her climb through. "Run, then call the police. Even if you get
lost, just keep moving-get as far away as you can and find somewhere to hide."
"Okay, | understand," Fawn replied.
Though her body felt frozen with anxiety, she managed to force herself onto the windowsill. Just as she was
about to jump down, she stopped and turned back.
"Miss, what's your name?"
"Go! Don't waste twith questions!" Vespera urged, pushing her out the window.
Every second mattered-they still had others to help get to safety.
Startled by Vespera's tone, Fawn didn't hesitate any longer. She quickly jumped down to the ground.
She had planned to ask for her name, thinking she'd express her gratitude later. This young woman was sharp,
brave, and calm under pressure. She knew when to be gentle and when to be assertive-qualities that were truly
admirable.
Soon, Fawn was already out the window.
On the other side of the building, Calvert crashed through a window and stormed into the banquet hall, already
searching for them.
His expression grew dark as he took in the chaos. He grabbed a nearby guest and asked, "Who's the host here
today?"
Startled by the sudden question, the guest pointed toward Emily, who was busy guiding people out.
Without wasting a second, Calvert charged toward her.
At that moment, a security guard hurried out from a side door, heading straight for Emily. "That woman suddenly

Before he could finish, his throat erupted in a blood-curdling scream.
Calvert acted quickly, grabbing the guard by the back of the neck and pulling him close. "Was it the one in the
green dress?"
Outside the private estate, Dominic arrived, accompanied by several others.
At the grand glass doors, several women in elegant gowns and masks stood in the dim light, their silhouettes
barely visible.
It seemed they wanted to step outside but were unable to, trapped in place. "Open the door."
"Yes, sir."
At Dominic's command, a few of his men stepped forward, ready to break down the door.
But before anyone could react, the door swung open by itself. The ladies-already annoyed after being told earlier
that the main entrance was broken-were taken completely by surprise.
Just as they were about to voice their frustration, they were confronted by the sight of several imposing men
standing in the doorway.
Panic rippled through the crowd, and the women scattered in all directions.
Dominic and his men moved in swiftly.
Without wasting time, he ordered part of his team to locate and disable the signal jammer, while he headed
straight for the banquet hall.
Back on Vespera's side, the pounding on the door beceven more frantic.
Having already climbed out, Felicia wasted no time. Without a word, she sprinted away, not even glancing back
at Vespera.
Vespera had sensed long ago that Felicia had recognized her, but she couldn't be bothered to address it.
"Yaz, hurry," Vespera urged, giving Yasmine a firm push.
Yasmine didn't bother with any pretenses-she lifted her dress and climbed out, abandoning her usual delicate
demeanor.
Once outside, she immediately moved to assist Rebecca through the window.
Vespera was the last to climb out.
With all three of them safely through the window, they kicked off their heels and crouched low, swiftly heading
toward the flowerbeds that bordered the side of the parking lot.
Calvert would be able to pick them up from there-but only if they managed to reach it.
Without warning, the door burst open with a deafening crash.
"Ladies! I'm here to rescue-"
Calvert stormed into the room, only to find it empty.
He walked into the bathroom and
