Chapitre 94: Liars

As the news coverage continues, the guests begin to murmur and whisper, their excitement now tinged with a sense of unease.

Some, particularly the few members of the charity that Layla used to run, even started to make their excuses and leave, their enthusiasm for the engagement party dampened by the news.

Ramsey and Robin, however, remain steadfast, greeting the remaining guests with an air of calm.

They move through the crowd, making small talk and offering reassurances, their outward demeanor betraying none of the turmoil they feel inside.

Among the guests are Robin's adoptive parents, Elise and Henry, who have eagerly anticipated this day.

Elise immediately pulls Robin into a warm embrace when she gets close enough.

"Charlotte!" Elise exclaims, squeezing the air from Robin's lungs. "We're so proud of you and Ramsey. This engagement is the best news we've heard all year!"
