Chapter Dumping 327
Chapter 327
Tina had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the couple in the middle of the dance floor. When she realized who Ray was holding, she was dumbfounded. “Mom, are my eyes playing tricks on met Why is Ray dancing with that woman?”
As Jasmine walked, she occasionally tugged at her clothes, making sure she looked perfect. In a grand setting like this, she had to maintain an impeccable image. Hearing Tina’s startled voice, she reprimanded Tina, “Do you know where we are? Shouting like that is not ladylike at all! Your manners are getting wonel“:
Tina had no time to heed Jasmine’s scolding. Instead, she tugged at Jasmine’s sleeve. “It’s Foxy Damon, Mort Ray is dancing with Foxy Damon!” She pointed towards the dance floor, emphasizing her words,
The mention of “Foxy Damon” caught Jasmine’s attention. She swallowed the reprimand she was about to give and followed Tina’s gaze. Sure enough, in the center of the dance floor, against a deep blue backdrop, a couple in white attire was dancing gracefully.
The man was tall and elegant, moving fluidly and handsomely. The woman was slender with graceful curves. As she moved to the music, following the man’s lead, her steps were light and agile. Their perfect coordination and elegant dance moves had already captivated the onlookers, who were all watching in amazement
Jasmine’s gaze focused on the woman’s fox mask. She watched “Foxy Damon” live streams often enough to recognize that mask instantly. “No way, how could Foxy Damon‘ be connected to Ray? Her heart pounded wildly, but she quickly reassured herself, “It must be a similar mask.”
With Foxy Damon making a comeback, her mask had become a popular item on various e–commerce platforms. Tonight’s there was a masquerade ball, so it wasn’t surprising that someone who took Foxy Damon as an idol would wear it.
“Maybe she’s just his new girlfriend, Jasmine speculated further. Among these rich younger–generation heirs, apart from Edwin, the others were quite unrestrained when it came to women. Their speed at changing girlfriends was unbelievable.
“Really?” Tina replied slowly. She didn’t care much whether the woman on the dance floor was the real “Foxy Damon‘ To her, as long as Randall wasn’t surrounded by women, she was happy.
Jasmine, however, was different. Despite trying to convince herself otherwise, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Sharon had already announced her engagement to the owner of Bisney Entertainment, and now, the only woman her son was fond of and suitable for him was Foxy Damon.
Jasmine kept scrutinizing the couple on the dance floor, analyzing and reevaluating but found no conclusive answer. Eventually, she decided to
take Tina to find Conor.
“Happy birthday, Conor.” Jasmine presented a gift,
“Happy birthday, Mr. Gildon. Tina also handed over a gift.
Conor chuckled as he looked at the two of them. “Edwin already gave me a gift. You didn’t need to spend more.”
Conor and Melta had been good friends, so Conor was always kind to the Stanley family.
“You only celebrate your birthday once a year. This is our only chance to give you a gift, so please accept it, Tina said sweetly. She might not be the brightest, but she was good at flattering people. Conor laughed even more heartily and had his butler accept the gifts.
Jaunine exchanged a few pleasantries with Conor before steering the conversation. “Conor, why did you let Ray take the first dance this year? Didn’t you always say that you were worried about him casually dating and bringing those girls around would leave a bad impression on everyone!”
Hearing Jasmine’s question, Conor crossed his hands behind him and looked up in Ray’s direction. “That kid usually fools around, but he’s never brought a date to my birthday before. If he’s brought her tonight, he must be serious.”
“Who is this lucky lady that caught Ray’s eye?” Jasmine inquired further.
Conor’s gaze grew stern. “Foxy Damon. I hear she’s a popular online celebrity. Hut as long as he likes her, her background doesn’t matter.” He wasn’t familiar with online celebrities and had only just learned about Foxy Damon from someone else, who mentioned her large following
“Foxy Damon?” Jasmine’s expression almost crumbled as she got confirmation from Conor. She cursed inwardly. This is exactly what I’m afraid of! How did my future daughter–in–law suddenly become Ray’s girlfriend?
Jasmine forced a smile and exchanged a few more words with Conor, her heart pounding and filled with an overwhelming sense of loss. Fortunately, others came to greet Conor, giving her an excuse to step back. She kept her eyes glued to the couple on the dance floor, breathing rapidly. She wondered, “What’s happening to the world! Why can’t anything go my way! First, I lost the inheritance battle, and now my son’s marriage is a mess tool Thinking about the past and the current situation, Jaunine felt suffocated and oppressed.
Unlike Jasmine, Tina was thrilled. She was pleased that Foxy Damon‘ was with Ray rather than Edwin. If Foxy Damon was with Ray, Tina wouldn’t have to worry about getting rid of her in the future. With Foxy Damon out of the way, Randall was all hers. Feeling overjoyed, Tina took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of Bay and Sharon. She selected the clearest one and sent it to Randall.

thought about it, the happier she felt. She couldn’t help but hum a little tune.
When the dance ended, applause erupted, and people, whether sincere or not, showered Foxy Damon and Ray with praise,
Sharon quickly stepped away from Ray’s embrace, her eyes instinctively scanning the crowd. She didn’t see Edwin. The spot where he had been standing was now empty. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Edwin had been standing there earlier, and although he hadn’t done anything, his presence had been incredibly intimidating Sharon had missed several steps in the dance. Luckily, Ray had reacted quickly and covered for her, so no one noticed. She bit her lip in frustration, annoyed that she was still so easily influenced by Edwin
“Foxy Damon, your dancing is truly remarkable, like watching a flowing stream. We couldn’t take our eyes off you” As soon as Sharon stepped off the dance floor, Ray’s aunts, Karna and Panny, surrounded her, brimming with enthusiasm. One held her left arm, the other her right, treating her
Like a star.
Looking at their overly enthusiastic faces, Sharon felt uncomfonable, reminded of their earlier conversation by the rockery. The Gildon family was used to wearing masks, and she couldn’t seamlessly navigate their many facades. She remained silent, lips tightly pressed.
Ray approached to intervene, but Kama spoke first. “Ray, your grandfather has something important to discuss with you. Don’t keep him waiting.”
“That’s right. Foxy Damon is in good hands with us, don’t worry,” Panny also chimed in with agreement.
Ray’s lips curled subtly under his mask as he looked at Sharon. She shook her head to signal she was fine. Then he strode towards his grandfather.
“Ray is always so considerate towards women,” Karna remarked, watching him leave.
Panny nodded. “Yes, although he’s been a bit of a playboy these years and hasn’t seriously dated anyone, he used to dote on Camila. He’d do anything for her. If not for what happened later… At this point, Karna gave her a sharp nudge and a meaningful look.
