[Shelter Bay, 11:15 PM]
It had been two hours since he left the banquet in the Walter Family's mansion. Ryley was just reading an email that surprisingly came from Martin when the guard who drove him with Gracia suddenly came saying the banquet had ended and that he should go back home.
The blond didn't even know what was going on but he saw all the guests come out of the hall less than three hours since the banquet started. And surprisingly, the hall's doors were immediately closed and guarded tightly.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't curious about what happened, not to mention that he couldn't see Gracia or Claire Morrison anywhere during that time. However, the guard urged him to go and Ryley didn't have a choice.
