Rose gave Jenson a smile that was radiant and reassuring as if she was telling him, 'Don't worry about Mommy.’
Jenson's nervous expression eased slightly.
Rose suddenly stood up. Her eyes were as warm as the sun. With a burning youthful gaze, they swept across all the men there.
At last, her eyes fell on John.
She swayed toward John, swung her long arm over John's shoulder, and whispered, "Fourth Uncle., dance with me and someday, I will repay you for your kindness."
The reason why she chose John was that only by dancing with a man from the Ares family could she eliminate everyone's slander and attack on her.
She did not have the guts to invite Jay. Even if she had the cheek to invite him, he would surely embarrass her by rejecting her in public.
Everyone, including Jay, was stunned by Rose's sudden move.
Of all the men in the room, she chose John, a womanizer. John was famous in Imperial Capital for his ballroom dancing. Would the clown Rose not embarrass herself by dancing with him?
Everyone else was waiting to see her get rejected by John. After all, John had a famous saying that he would not accept a woman who took the initiative. What Rose just did should be considered as taking the initiative, right?
However, to everyone's surprise. John did not refuse her. Instead, he put his hand around her waist like a gentleman and laughed. "My pleasure."
John took Rose to the dance floor. As the waltz began, the two of them instantly took over the dance floor.
