No Divorce? The Billionaire's Love Chase! novel Chapter 597

Claudia turned with the rest of the crowd toward the voice. The lively atmosphere quickly died down.

Ann stood a short distance away. She was tall, wearing a beige coat, her straight, waist-length hair tucked neatly behind her ears. Her features, ordinary before any cosmetic surgery, looked quite delicate with the help of makeup.

As a former dancer, she already had an inherent grace, which now seemed softer, more gentle.

Her look was full of affection for York, yet tinged with a subtle vulnerability that could easily awaken a man’s protective instincts.

Forget men—if Claudia didn’t know her better, she might have felt a pang of pity herself.

As Ann walked step by step toward York, Claudia subtly took two steps back, putting some distance between them.

Confused murmurs spread through the crowd.

"Who is that woman? She said Mr. Ferguson’s name so intimately."

"Look at the way she’s looking at him. There’s definitely something between them."

"Is she here to crash the party?"

"Looks more like she’s here to steal the groom."

"Mr. Ferguson sure keeps his secrets well. We hang out with him all the time and had no idea there was anyone else besides Claudia."

...

The gossip continued, growing more and more outrageous.

Wendy stood beside Claudia's parents, her face grim. Peter moved behind York and whispered, "York, why is this woman here?"

York’s gaze slowly settled on Claudia.

His lips were pressed into a thin line, and he said nothing, just stared at her.

York’s sharp gaze sent a chill down Claudia's spine.
