At the same time, gasps of surprise came from the door.

Shana turned around and saw two men in fancy evening wear. One of them was Damon, who was staring in shock.
The other guy seemed familiar, but she couldn’t quite place him.
Since marrying Henry, she’d faced nothing but disdain from him and his friends. She’d gotten used to it and wasn’t bothered by their opinions anymore.
Shana ignored them and headed upstairs.
Damon rubbed his eyes, trying to make sense of what he’d just seen. Was that Henry’s wife, Shana?
The other guy suddenly asked. “Is she Henry’s wife?”
Damon, still in shock, nodded.
Then he shook his head.
The other guy laughed. “So is she or isn’t she?”
Damon looked completely confused. Tim not even sure
Shana went to Henry’s bedroom to change into a new outfit. After tidying up a bit, she stepped out.
She spotted the same guy again, who looked like he was searching for something.
When he saw her, he walked over and asked gently, “Mrs. Floyd, could you tell me where the bathroom is?”
Even though she wasn’t thrilled about Henry’s friends, she still tried to be polite. As she was about to point him in the right direction, her gaze settled on the man’s face.
That kind–hearted guy?”
He laughed. “You remember me?”
No wonder he looked familiar–he was the kind–hearted person at the airport who had given her his ticket at face value without asking for anything extra.
“It’s a nice coincidence.” Shana smiled. “I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself last time. I’m Shana.”
He said, ‘Cyrus Grant.”
Shana blinked in surprise. “You’re the eldest son of the Grant family, Cyrus?”
Cyrus Grant, the heir to the Grant family, was known for his refined manners and outstanding qualities, standing in sharp contrast to the pampered, playboy types in the circle.

He was the only one in his generation who could rival Elenry. But instead of going into business, he chose to become a doctor and was now one of the most in–demand in the field.
He’d been working overseas for a while, so she had only heard about him. She had no idea he was back.
Cyrus grinned and asked, “Do I not look the part?”
“Of course not” Shana awkwardly scratched her head and quickly changed the subject. “I didn’t think we’d cross paths again.”
She gave him a look and laughed at herself. “Bet you didn’t think I could be such a handful, right?”
Cyrus paused for a second, and then caught on and smiled. “Honestly, I’d call that self–defense.”
Now it was Shana’s turn to be caught off guard.
Ever since she married into the Floyd family, aside from Duncan, no one had ever taken her side. Anytime she clashed with Claire, everyone immediately blamed her without a second thought.
This was the first time someone had actually sided with her.
She could hardly believe what she was hearing. “Wait you saw that Claire splashed me
Cyrus shook his head. “All I saw was you pouring red wine all over Claire
“Then why did you say that?”
first?
As far as she knew, Cyrus was one of Henry’s closest friends. Even Duncan was especially fond of him. He had strong ties with the Floyds and genuinely treated Chire like a little sister.
“Claire is spoiled and headstrong. She must have done something first for you to react like that”
Shana raised an eyebrow. Claire always played the sweet, innocent role so well that it fooled everyone. Even if people knew her true nature, they still pampered her.
She didn’t expect anyone to see through it.
Shana pursed her lips and asked, “What if I was just looking for trouble?”
Cyrus shook his head. “I don’t think so.”
“Why not?”
“You’re not the type to do that.”
Shama was filled with questions. They’d only met twice and weren’t close, so how could he be so sure?
As if sensing her doubt, Cyrus said softly. “It’s a feeling
A warm sensation spread through her chest.
Even from just two encounters, he could tell she wasn’t the type to cause trouble,
Most people tend to side with their family rather than what’s right, including her husband, Henry. If he

had seen what happened earlier, he would have definitely taken Claire’s side.
But Cyrus was different. He supported what was right, not just his connections,
He truly stood out as a breath of fresh air in the circle.
Much better than that se mbag!
Shana felt a surge of appreciation for him and said sincerely, “Thanks for believing in me.”

The black Cullinan parked outside, and Henry got out of the car.
Claire rushed over, grabbing his arm and venting her frustration.
“Henry, Shana has gone crazy. As soon as she got here, she acted all high and mighty and even deliberately poured red wine all over me. Now I’m embarrassed in front of my friends. You need to teach her a lesson, or I won’t be able to show my face to anyone!”
Henry stopped in his tracks, looked down at Claire, and asked with a hint of a smile, “What did you do to Shana
“I didn’t do anything
Henry squinted and stared at her intently, saying nothing.
The intense pressure made Claire’s gaze waver. She spoke more softly, I just asked her to bring a few drinks for my friends. Isn’t it normal for the host to help out a bit?”
By the end of her rant, Claire was back to being defensive. “Let’s be honest, she comes from a humble background and doesn’t know the first thing about proper behavior. She’s nothing special and just uses her looks to seduce men…
Henry’s expression turned icy as he snapped, “Be quiet Claire Floyd, where’s your manners?”
Claire, usually fearless, was caught off guard when Henry used her full name. Her heart skipped a beat, and she went silent.
“And another thing, you should know that Shana is the hostess, not a servant. She’s the Mrs. Floyd, not someone you can boss around!”
Claire’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Over the years, she had often spoken ill of Shana in front of Henry, and he had never cared. But this time. he was scolding her because of Shana!
“Henry, are you… sick or something?”
Henry pushed her hand away, his tone even colder. From now on, show some respect to her!”
Claire didn’t expect to be scolded instead of getting what she wanted. She was furious but didn’t dare argue, so she just stomped her feet in frustration.

When Henry reached the second floor, he saw Shana and Cyrus having a lively conversation.
Since their fight about the divorce, she’d only given him fake or cold smiles. Yet, here she was, smiling so charmingly at someone else.
turned cold as he walked over, wrapping his arm around Shana’s waist and pulling her close. He then looked up at Cyrus.
With a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he asked, ‘Cyrus, when did you and my wife get so close?”
