Someone sighed, "Tomorrow's headlines will all be about Clusia's legendary warrior publicly declaring his love."
"We'll be the laughingstock of the entire world!" another one exclaimed.
The group seethed with anger, all convinced Shawn was out of line. Yet no one dared step in—none of them wanted to risk facing Shawn's fury.
With the kiss over, Shawn immediately fixed his cold, warning gaze on the men who had been eyeing Zoe with desire.
Now, everyone realized one thing: Shawn, Clusia's legendary warrior, was officially taken.
A guest whispered, "Strange. Didn't Shawn publicly declare to the world that he was going to marry Firefox, the Queen of Mercenaries?"
"Men's words are nothing but lies," teased someone else.
Another guest snickered. "That was just empty talk anyway. What man could ever tame a woman like Firefox?"
"Yeah, who would've thought that Shawn would actually fall for just some ordinary woman?" said a guest.
Zoe looked at Shawn, a teasing glint in her eyes. "So, are you just going to introduce who I am like this?"
"No need for introductions," Shawn said confidently. "Everything I just did made our relationship clear." He paused, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, and then looked down at Zoe. "But if you want, I can publicly declare our relationship to everyone here."
Zoe shook her head. "Haven't you noticed how many women in this ballroom are practically shooting daggers at me right now?"
Zoe swept her gaze across the room, catching venomous, envious glares from the other women.
'Looks like Shawn isn't just the dream man for Clusian women. Even these foreign ladies are dying to get him. Well, that just proves my taste is excellent,' Zoe mused.
Shawn grinned and said, "Wouldn't making our relationship official make them back off for good?"
Zoe chuckled softly. "Nonsense, again."
Lurking in the shadows, Sophia was seething with rage. Ever since she'd been brought in, it was as if she didn't even exist.
Though Sophia wore a gown just as magnificent as Zoe's, with perfect makeup to match, the moment Zoe showed up, every man's eyes were on her.
'And there I am, reduced to an invisible nobody. Why the hell should it be like this?' Sophia fumed inwardly.
Rick leaned in close to Sophia and whispered urgently, "Get ready. Don't forget our plan."
"Rick, are you sure this will work?" Sophia whispered anxiously. "What if Shawn doesn't cooperate? I'll become the laughingstock of the whole world!"
Sophia was still seething over how Zoe had stolen both her man and the spotlight. But when it came to humiliation, Sophia still thought her own dignity mattered most.
"Rest assured," Rick declared confidently. "With us backing you up, he won't dare say no." It was clear he was ready to force Shawn to comply using strong-arm tactics.
Anxiety gnawed at Sophia. But the thought that this might be her one and only chance to win Shawn over steeled her resolve. She decided to go for it.
As long as she succeeded, she'd beat Zoe, namely Firefox, and would be able to ruthlessly crush Firefox under her heel, showing everyone who was really on top.
Rick and the other Elders exchanged knowing glances. A shadowy scheme against Shawn was already unfolding.
Zoe and Shawn stood together, but no one dared approach them. In the awkward silence, Zoe glanced at Shawn and teased, "Are you always this intimidating? Is that why no one dares to talk to you?"
Shawn said calmly, "Isn't this better? Or do you actually want to be the center of attention?"
Zoe quickly shook her head. 'No way. Too many people here might recognize me,' she thought.
But she trusted Medusa's capabilities; her identity had to be airtight. Otherwise, she'd be exposed as Firefox right here in front of everyone.
