Evadne strolled toward the banquet hall, humming a tune to herself.

She knew that Mia was in for a tough time.

Well, let the games begin!

She knew Matthew, or it was more about knowing men in general. They were superficial creatures, with their pride weighing more than anything else. And if someone tarnished the reputation of the Chambers family’s golden boy, he would make life hell for them.

It served Mia right for messing with her sister. A good thrashing was what she deserved!

“Evadne”

A sonorous, affectionate voice echoed behind her,

Her heart fluttered wildly as she clenched her fists.

There was no other voice in the world that could disrupt her heartbeat

Except for that man.

It was the man she once loved dearly, the man who had wrecked her

Evadne took a deep breath to calm herself and turned around, her gaze icy

Thaddeus stood a few steps away, holding a beautifully wrapped box. He walked towards her, his posture dignified, his stride as swift as the wind Tm here his voice and gaze softened as he placed his eyes on her

Evadne remained expressionless. “Hmm.”

He pursed his lips, his eyes filled with regret. Tm sorry, I intended to come earlier to see if I could help you with anything. But it seems that I’m a bit late” The man who was once as proud as a peacock, now appeared as humble as a servant before Evadne

“Why would we need help from an outsider for the Ashbournes banquet?”

Evadne sneered, glancing around. “Where’s Grandpa? Didn’t he come with you?”

“Grandpa is already here. He’s in the reception room chatting with Chairman Emeric” Thaddeus replied gently

“Alright, I’ll go see Grandpa. You can do as you please.”

Without a hint of hesitation, Evadne turned to leave.

“Evadne” Thaddeus reacted urgently, grabbing her hand tightly

“Stop pulling me! If someone sees us, it’ll cause misunderstandings. Let go!” Evadne struggled, her cheeks flushing slightly

“There’s no one else here, just the two of us

Thaddeus took a deep breath, his gaze intense, pulling her closer. “As a complete opportunist, I can’t afford to miss any chance, even if I have to create one myself.” Evadne, in her towering heels, was caught off balance and gasped

And then, like a bird finding its nest, she fell into his firm, broad chest.

Thaddeus, his eyes wide, was left to hold her with one arm while holding the gift box in the other.

“Uh Evadne pressed against his muscular arm.

Thaddeus held his breath, stunned.

He could feel her soft, warm body pressing against him.
