Chapter 1068

The memory of that charity gala still played vividly in Bella's mind.

Jack had overwhelmed all the young heirs of Tarthy City with his commanding presence. Bella had once thought it was just a dream, a scene that existed only in her imagination. But at that moment, Jack perfectly matched the image of the ideal son-in-law her mother had always hoped for.

Yet, Jack's success had only come after they had broken up. Bella wondered how her mother would feel if she found out. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she felt as if fate was toying with her.

Jack smiled and brushed them off, saying, "It's nothing, really. I just happened to meet Elias by chance, and when he asked me to help, I went."

Luca asked in surprise, "So, you mean the real star that day was Elias?"

Jack nodded and responded, "Yeah. I was just an extra."

Both Luca and Bella had witnessed the scene with their own eyes.

Only a fool would believe Jack's words. There was no doubt Jack was the center of attention that day. How could a mere extra stand in the spotlight?

Just then, the food was served, and Feena changed the subject.

"We are going to hold a concert at Tarthy Square Mall in a few days. You guys should come."

Jack paused for a moment. "Will the concert still go on with Peter gone?"

Bella explained, "Of course. Although the Trevell Group is a major shareholder, many other big companies are co-hosting this event. They won't cancel it just because Peter was arrested."

Jack smiled and replied, "I'll definitely be there. And when you're on stage singing, I'll be the one handing you flowers."

He wasn't talking about just one flower or a bouquet, but an entire cartload of them.

Jack wanted to use this moment to announce to the whole world that Feena was already taken, sending a clear message to anyone harboring ill intentions toward her to give up.

Hearing Jack's promise, Feena's face softened into a shy yet sweet smile.

Bella glanced at Jack but said nothing. Still, her pale complexion and the tears she barely held back revealed the turmoil stirring within her.

As the food was served, the atmosphere in the room lightened once more. The four began talking excitedly about which celebrities and prominent figures would appear at the upcoming concert. Feena and and Bella were thrilled to hear that some of their favorite stars would be there.

Just then, the restaurant TV switched to news about Tarthy

City's election. The latest poll results had been announced, showing the gap between the three candidates growing wider.

Gerard maintained a commanding lead with 75 percent support. Spencer the Candidate that Quintis

supported, held around 20 percent. The third candidate's support was

so tow it was barely noticeable.

Luca frowned and said, "If nothing goes wrong, Gerard's election as mayor is all but guaranteed."

Feena and Bella shared the same view, though a hint of worry lingered in their hearts. After all, Jack was Gerard's rival. If Gerard took office, it wouldn't bode well for Jack.

However, Jack shook his head. "Gerard won't win."

Luca was taken aback. "Really? Are you sure?"

It made sense for Jack to have a different opinion. After all, he had an argument with Gerard at a past event.

Yet, Luca hadn't expected Jack to be so certain.

Could Jack stop Gerard from winning? If that were true, Jack's influence was far greater than anyone had imagined.
