KELLAN WARD
Before Kellan could take even a half-step toward Ivy, she and Aiden turned and disappeared into the people gathering around the ruined dress. The voices of the crowd rose and fell. Individual comments filtered through the noisy conversations.
Oh, my God. Who would destroy Natalia Moon's Tigerlily dress? It's such a tragedy.
I heard her daughter is here tonight. She must be devastated.
Moonlight has gone to shit since Natalia Moon died. I wouldn't touch an Ivy Crane dress if you paid me.
Wasn't Ivy Crane the last person near the dress? Surely she didn't do anything.
If she did, she's suicidal. Aurora Moon is Kellan Ward's wife. You think he won't avenge her?
Next to him, Aurora's knees gave way, and Kellan grabbed her by the shoulders, holding her upright as she cried.
"Jingyu."
His assistant appeared almost instantly. "Sir."
