Upon hearing what Mr. Nathaniel had just said, the entire hall seemed to freeze for a second—but that silence didn’t last long. Whispers started crawling through the rows like ants discovering sugar. It wasn’t admiration or awe this time. It was doubt. Pure, heated doubt.

“Wait, they haven’t even scanned his card,” another man in a wine-colored suit said, adjusting his bowtie with irritation. “What if he’s just sneaking in?”

“Exactly,” a younger lady added, her voice laced with disdain. “Look at the way he’s dressed. If he can’t even follow basic dress codes, what makes you think he belongs here at all?”

Their words weren’t hushed anymore. Some guests were even pointing fingers at Tyler—mocking his simplicity, questioning his presence.

    At that moment, Princess Sophia felt her patience finally reach its breaking point as she listened to her sister continue to whisper those cruel and disrespectful words about Tyler right there in front of everyone at the entrance. The anger that had been building up inside her chest suddenly burst forward, and she could no longer stand by quietly while Princess Naomi attacked someone who meant so much to her.“Naomi, you need to stop right now,” Princess Sophia said firmly, her voice still low enough to maintain some privacy but carrying an unmistakable tone of authority that made it clear she was not going to tolerate any more of this behavior. “I'm asking you to please reduce your harsh words and stop insulting my husband-to-be in the presence of all these people who are already watching our every move.”Immediately Princess Naomi's eyes went wide with shock when she heard her sister refer to Tyler as her future husband, her mouth falling open slightly because she had not expected

    At that moment, Princess Sophia could feel the weight of dozens of eyes following her every movement as she walked toward the venue entrance with Tyler by her side, both of them moving with the kind of easy grace that came from people who were comfortable in their own skin despite all the attention being directed their way. The crowd of well-dressed alumni and their guests parted slightly to create a path for them, everyone craning their necks to get a better look at the mysterious man who had arrived in such spectacular fashion.Tyler walked beside Princess Sophia with his hand resting lightly on the small of her back, a gentlemanly gesture that conveyed both respect and protection without being overly possessive or inappropriate for the formal setting they were entering. His expression remained calm and confident, showing no signs that he was bothered by all the staring and whispering that was happening around them.As they approached the main entrance where most of the other guests

    At that moment, Princess Naomi happened to be standing in a position where she could clearly overhear every single word that was coming out of Nathaniel Jr. and Robert's animated conversation about the incredibly rare and expensive car that had just pulled up to the university venue entrance. She had been chatting with some of her own friends from her university days, but the excitement and urgency in Nathaniel Jr.'s voice had caught her attention and drawn her focus toward their discussion about the limited edition Mercedes-Maybach.Princess Naomi found herself turning slightly so she could get a better view of the mysterious vehicle that had everyone so worked up, her own curiosity now thoroughly piqued because she wanted to know exactly who would be bold enough or wealthy enough to show up to a university alumni gathering in something that apparently only two people in the entire world were currently driving around.The car sat there for just a moment with its engine still running,

    At that moment, standing among the other well-dressed guests who were all gathered outside the university venue waiting for whatever signal would indicate it was appropriate to head inside, Nathaniel Jr. caught sight of the car Nathaniel Jr. had been engaged in casual conversation with his friend Robert about some business deals they were both considering, but the moment that sleek, elegant automobile came into view, every other thought completely disappeared from his mind because he immediately recognized something extraordinary about what he was seeing.His eyes locked onto the vehicle like a hunter spotting rare prey in the wild, his brain automatically cataloging all the distinctive features and design elements that were making his heart race with excitement and disbelief. Nathaniel Jr. had always prided himself on being an expert when it came to luxury automobiles, had spent countless hours studying the specifications and production details of every high-end car manufacturer in

    At that moment, hearing the clear instructions that Tyler had just given to his security team, the guards immediately nodded.Princess Sophia found herself standing there her curiosity growing stronger by the second as she wondered what kind of car Tyler was planning to take to this university get-together event. She had already noticed so many impressive and unexpected things about Tyler's lifestyle during the time she had spent at his house tonight, from the elegant but understated decor to the obvious quality of everything he owned, and she was starting to realize that there were probably many more surprises waiting to be discovered.The house itself had been absolutely breathtaking from the moment she first walked through the front door, with its perfect balance of luxury and comfort that suggested someone who had excellent taste and unlimited resources to create exactly the living space he wanted, and the people he moved with.Princess Sophia was well aware by now that Tyler was

    At that moment, hearing what Princess Sophia had just revealed about her sister Princess Naomi also attending the university get-together, Tyler's expression remained completely calm and unbothered. He didn't show even the slightest hint of concern or irritation about this last-minute addition to their evening plans, which clearly came as a relief to Princess Sophia who had been worried about how he might react to the news.“Well, that's absolutely no problem at all,” Tyler said with a casual shrug of his shoulders, his voice carrying that easy confidence that always seemed to put people at ease. “I honestly don't have any issue with your sister joining us tonight, like seriously, I don't have any issue with that at all.”He could see that Princess Sophia was still looking a bit anxious about springing this information on him so late in the game, so he made sure to give her a reassuring smile as he continued talking.“Princess Sophia, you really have nothing to worry about when it co
