Suspicion at the Party

As Vincent and Elara took their seats, a young waitress approached them, carrying two glasses of champagne. Ava Jones' father, the host of the party, stood up, ready to propose a toast.

"I would like to thank everyone who made it tonight to celebrate my daughter's birthday," Mr. Jones began, his voice warm and filled with pride. "This is a very special day to us all as my baby girl turns 21. I hope you all have your gifts ready!"

The room erupted in laughter, and Mr. Jones continued, "I would also like to thank my daughter for being a very obedient child, not even once had she ever given me problems. And to that, let us all drink and continue enjoying the party!"

As the music started playing, people began to dance, while others gathered in corners, enjoying drinks and delectable food.
