Chapter 53

Halfway through the meal, the private room door swung open,

In walked a joyous Hackett Blackwell with a bottle of wine. “Why didn’t you tell me you are back, Edward? Look, I’ve brought you wine, bro. How’s that for a good friend, huh?”

He then placed a bottle of wine worth 140,000 dollars on the table.

Hackett pulled over a stool and opened the wine to have a drink with Edward Landor.

Meanwhule. Edward placed the peeled prawns on the lazy Susan and turned it to Natalie. Then he slowly removed his disposal plastic gloves.

Hackett was surprised to see Natalie and blurted, “Nat-” Then he realized she was Trevon Wilson’s secret wife. “Oh. Miss Foster, I didn’t expect to see you here.” he said awkwardly.

On the contrary, Natalie was not surprised to see him. “Hmm, do you need some cutlery, Mr. Blackwell?” she asked. Hackett and Trevon were in the same social circle, after all

On the other hand, Edward was curious how Natalie knew Hacken in the first place. “You two know each other?” he said.

They did not share the same social circles to his knowledge

Did he miss something in the past three years while overseas? Edward wondered.

Edward then turned his gaze to his sister, Sherri: he looked at her intently

Sherri was shocked by her brother’s stare, She was speechless, not knowing whether to continue with her meal or stop eating altogether.

Sherri quickly cleared her throat. “Ahem, well, we met Mr. Blackwell by chance. Yes, by chance. Mr. Blackwell, isn’t that right?” she fumbled, trying to explain

Then she lowered her eyes, trying to keep a low profile. She glared at Hackett from the corner of her eyes, signaling that he would die a painful death if he did not keep his mouth shut.

Hackert kept his eyes glued to the food in front of Natalie. Was Edward cuckolded? he wondered.

Natalie quickly shared half of her food with Sherri.
