A sharp knife suddenly appeared in Julian Easton's line of sight. The sight terrified the rich heir, who scrambled to his knees and started kowtowing to Stella Lockwood. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I was blind to your importance! I offended you today. Please, Miss Lockwood, be the bigger person and don't hold this against me. I'll never bother you again..."
'Besides his old man, The Divine Easton, only Lord Yates could push Julian Easton this far.'
This was Yara Fuller's truest thought at that moment. 'I'd already heard the rumors. Reaper Yates from Ascendancy Group came to Veridian Media to sign Stella Lockwood today, but Miss Chase stuck her nose in, and now Stella's being called a homewrecker. The story's all over Veridian. Seeing this Lord Yates go to such lengths to protect his damsel in distress... it's definitely something!'
