Julian instantly panicked and he subconsciously wanted to pull me, but I took two steps back to avoid him.

I turned and walked towards the door. As I passed the champagne tower, I glanced back at Jennie.

Julian helped her up and she leaned into his arms, her eyes meeting mine with a triumphant glint.

I smiled a little. After downing a glass of champagne in one go, I reached out and knocked over the champagne tower.

The shattering glass was crisp and pleasing, mingling with the women's high-pitched shrieks to form a strange and eerie melody.

Goodbye, Julian.

Goodbye, the boy who once stood before me to shield me.
