Chapter 2700

“Mr. Harris, you’re quite the gentleman tonight, far more than that evening we first met,” Regina said with a twinkle in her eye, prompting Nolan to arch an eyebrow and quip back, “And Ms. Tanner, you seem far gentler than I remember from that night.”

Both burst into laughter, a sight that Madeline found utterly unforgivable.

When did this shameless woman start flirting with Nolan?

He was supposed to be her catch. How dare she!

But amid the crowd, Madeline couldn’t let her jealousy show. She plastered on a smile and approached Nolan.

“Mr. Harris, where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you,” she said, pointedly ignoring Regina standing beside him.

Nolan, spotting Madeline sidling up, instinctively stepped back to maintain a courteous social distance.

“I’m sorry, and you are?” asked Nolan.

Madeline’s smile froze on her face.

Regina could see right through her ploy, but it was hardly surprising she’d set her sights on Nolan.

Even if you combined the charm of every other man in the room, they wouldn’t stack up to Nolan.

Still, Madeline’s forwardness was a bit much. She should have known her place instead of throwing herself at Nolan like that, especially when every heiress in the room was eyeing him from a respectful distance.
