As Reece stood up for Kate and taunted Graeme, her silent heartstrings seemed to be plucked by an unseen hand, and the echoes continued to resonate in her mind.
She turned to look at Reece, surprised by his sharp wit not just directed at her, but also at outsiders.
She suddenly felt that his biting remarks were not all that bad. After all, it was satisfying to see him being sarcastic with the wrongdoers.
Reece proudly lifted his perfectly sculpted chin and gave a haughty hum.
"What are you looking at? I'm much more handsome than that trash of a man. It's a fact that you have bad taste," Reece remarked.
"Yes, yes, Reece is quite dashing today!"
He was exceptionally dashing. No, wait, when wasn't he dashing?
Peyton covertly swallowed and thought, 'Reece truly deserves the title of one of most beautiful faces in the world. There's no room for criticism when it comes to Reece's looks.'
Why had a superstar, a being meant to exist under dazzling lights, suddenly descended to the mortal realm? And how had he become so intimate with Kate?
Furthermore, all the people surrounding Kate were either handsome men or beautiful women and a bunch of wealthy men. In contrast, she was surrounded by endless poverty and the little ruffians from the neighboring neighborhood.
This difference only exacerbated Peyton's sense of inferiority, morphing it into a distorted mindset.
Her sensitivity and insecurity had finally evolved into a strong desire to make Kate taste the bitterness of being cold-shouldered.
The court hearing was about to begin. Reporters had gathered outside the courthouse, holding cameras and taking pictures of Reece, Graeme, Cheyenne, and the others.
"Oh my goodness, isn't that Reece? Why is he here?"
"Reece is standing with Miss Cheyenne and the plaintiff!" one of the star-chasers exclaimed.
"I have no idea, but today is the right time to go out! Ahh... I can't believe I'm seeing Reece in person. I'm absolutely thrilled!" another fan responded.
The star-chasers present couldn't believe their eyes. Reece was unbelievably handsome! Despite rumors that he didn't look as good in real life as he did in pictures, he surpassed their expectations. They were experiencing a visual feast like never before.
Omari, dressed in a white suit, looked mature and sophisticated, exuding an air of success and refinement. The beautiful woman by his side had an exquisite figure, causing even other women to feel envious.
This didn't look like they were heading to court; it was more like they were walking down a runway. The cameras were all focused on their attire and faces; those onlookers momentarily forgot the actual purpose of their gathering.
Graeme felt as if he were at a circus watching clowns perform. It was comical.
"Kate, are you here for a court hearing or to flaunt your social circle?" he asked.
