In the banquet hall
When people heard that "Miss Payne" might have had an accident, many wanted to join the commotion but didn't dare to, resulting in Michale Shaw and Wyatt Hale rushing to the back as soon as they heard the news.
Afraid of missing a single second.
"Wyatt!" William frowned.
Wyatt had run off without even wiping his mouth clean.
Then, chasing his brother, William went as well, followed by other members of the Hale Family.
Hannah Johnson didn't want to miss the drama either and dragged Isaac Shea to the back.
Seeing that the Hale and Shaw families had gone, everyone else hurried to check out the commotion.
By then, Iva Payne had already reached the room's door and knocked, "Ophelia!"
There was no response inside.
The door was locked from within, twisting would not open it.
"Could something have really happened to Miss Payne?" someone worried, "Should we break down the door?"
