Under the Billionaire Spell

Chapter 532

Champagne towers and a spread of cold canapés and desserts dotted the room, creating an ambiance that could

rival any hopping nightclub. Wayne looked around and mused, "How is this even more happening than a bar?"

Winston's gaze zeroed in on Cassie amidst the lively crowd. Cassie was rocking her signature rebellious style,

donning a deep blue silk shirt under a crisp white blazer, unexpectedly teamed with patterned shorts. This mix

screamed defiance and was undeniably unconventional.

Cassie exuded a certain rogue charm. Her hair was slicked back with precision, yet her delicate features,

porcelain skin, and slender frmade this bold fashion choice seem naturally stylish. It was a unique allure

that was all her own. Winston couldn't help but think, could this kid make even a burlap sack look good?

Winston navigated through the throng to where Cassie stood chatting with Chloe. Both held champagne glasses,

their conversation lively.

"Why didn't your husband show up? Weren't you two coming together?" Cassie asked.

"He headed back to Eldridge City," Chloe replied.

Cassie frowned, "Is it because of my cousin?"

Chloe said nothing, but Cassie could guess. She knew about Diana's accident and subsequent amputation.

Cassie sighed, "You're incredibly forgiving. Their affair was the talk of the town, everyone in the Eldridge Elites

knew Diana was Mr. Connor's favorite. How do you put up with it?"

"Do you think | could tolerate it if their feelings were genuine?" Chloe countered.

Cassie pursed her lips and nodded, "Fair enough."

Chloe checked the time. Connor had called not long ago to say he was on a plane back, due to arrive soon. But

with the party nearly wrapping up, he'd likely miss most of it. Chloe didn't press Connor on how he had dealt

with things or about Diana; she trusted him to handle it.

Winston approached Cassie. She looked surprised, "Hey, what brings you here? | heard you were entertaining

guests."

Winston replied, "We had a bit of an

emergency. My mom's having a severe allergic reaction. Is your family doctor around? Could you ask him to pop

over and check on her?"

Cassie nodded quickly, "Of course, I'll get him." She darted inside.

Winston turned to Chloe, "Your foster parents and Lisa are at my place, did you know?"

Chloe blinked, "I didn't."

"My mom had an allergic reaction to sspecial incense Lisa brought. She said you made it," Winston

explained.

Chloe thought for a moment, then realized, "She must've swiped it from my studio. | haven't been theredn

threeyears; those herbs are expired and definitely not safe."

Winston had suspected as much. Soon, Cassie returned with Dr. Colt.

"Let's get moving, no tto waste. Dr. Colt is a whiz with skin issues," Cassie said.

Dr. Colt, hearing about the allergy, had cprepared with a medical kit, ready to administer treatment once he

assessed the situation.

As Winston was about to leave, Cassie suggested to Chloe, "Why don't we all head over and check on them?"
