Alexander swallowed hard, his jaw tightening as he struggled to maintain his composure.
Eleanor, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed, her usual arrogance momentarily replaced by shock and confusion.
Then the room began to buzz with whispers.
"Is that really Ethan Grayson?"
"The CEO of Grayson Enterprises? He's so young!"
"And handsome!"
"I can't believe he's here. What's his connection to this couple?"
Several young ladies gushed openly, their eyes glued to Ethan.
"He's even better looking than the rumors said," one whispered, while another added, "I'd die just to be in his presence for a second!"
Meanwhile, a few exclusive media outlets, invited to cover the event, quickly recognized the opportunity of a lifetime. Cameras flashed as they secretly took photos of Ethan.
