Chapter 245: Chapter 245

"Why are you here again?"

Seeing Damian Quinn walk in with Serena Everett, Ivan Everett’s good mood instantly vanished, making it clear he wasn’t fond of him.

"How can you talk like that? A son-in-law comes over and you’re not welcoming him, but instead trying to drive him away!" Jocelyn Sterling scolded him, slapping his arm.

"He is not my son-in-law!"

Ivan Everett muttered under his breath, every time he comes, he steals his wife’s and his precious daughter’s attention!

"That’s right, that’s right, Dad is absolutely right!" Steven Everett seized the opportunity to nod in agreement, "I also think you come to our house way too often, you can leave now!"

As long as he gets Damian Quinn out, he can monopolize his precious little sister!!!

Damian Quinn maintained his composure, his lips still held a faint smile as he spoke slowly, "Uncle, recently I acquired a White Jade Glaze. I don’t know much about antiques, I plan to send it over tomorrow for your appreciation."

Upon hearing the words White Jade Glaze, Ivan Everett’s eyes instantly lit up, and his tone changed faster than anyone else’s.

"That’s considerate of you, stay for dinner before you leave today!"

Who wouldn’t be interested in appreciating a little bit of antique with such an offer?

Steven Everett looked at Ivan Everett disdainfully, obviously disapproving of his quick change of attitude.

He wouldn’t be so easily bribed by Damian Quinn with small favors!

"Second brother, I heard you’ve been searching for the Lord of the Underworld—Lord Moros recently. I happened to discover some clues and was looking for an opportunity to inform you."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Steven Everett coughed forcefully, clearly tempted, as tracking Lord Moros’ whereabouts wasn’t easy. Despite their efforts, they still hadn’t found any trace of Lord Moros.

"Don’t think that just because you did this, I’ll completely accept you as my brother-in-law! I lost to you last time by mistake. Next time we compete, I will defeat you!"

Damian Quinn lazily raised his eyebrows, and his low, magnetic voice echoed unhurriedly, "Whenever second brother wants a duel, I’m ready to accompany."

Steven Everett immediately looked around, and upon seeing that Serena wasn’t paying attention to them, he sighed in relief.

"Serena doesn’t like me fighting with you, make sure she doesn’t hear us!"

If his precious sister gets angry and ignores him, it would be worse than dying for him!

"President Everett, you’ve arrived..."

As soon as Elliot Everett walked in, the CEOs immediately rushed over, engaging with him in small talk hoping to build rapport.

"Elliot, you truly are young and accomplished, the project with Seishun is so successful, you must have made billions again, right!"

"Who doesn’t say so? Mr. Everett has such an outstanding son inheriting the family business. I’m absolutely envious! If my useless son could be half as excellent as Elliot, I’d wake up from laughter even from my dreams!"

"Yes indeed, my son is also not up to the mark. If only he were as capable as Elliot, I’d offer incense in thanks..."

"Gentlemen, you flatter me."

Elliot Everett casually exchanged pleasantries with the CEOs, anyone with eyes could see his mind was elsewhere.

They were all perplexed as it was rare to see Elliot Everett .

Only the assistant following Elliot Everett knew well that their president was still puzzled and troubled by Miss Sutton blocking him.

However, speaking of which, it was the first time seeing President Everett so inattentive. In the past, no matter what complicated situations arose, they never managed to affect him.

This certainly proved how special Miss Sutton was to him!

The assistant silently sighed inside, then caught a glimpse of Nancy Sutton not far away, and couldn’t help but speak up, "President Everett, isn’t that Miss Sutton?"

Upon hearing this, Elliot Everett immediately lifted his gaze following the assistant’s line of vision and saw a patch of red.

Nancy Sutton was dressed in a red backless evening dress, her chestnut hair tied up elegantly, each move attracting attention.

The magnificent red dress made her even more charming and radiant, drawing eyes that couldn’t easily move away from her.

Elliot Everett’s eyes flashed with amazement, but upon noticing other men staring at her, his brows furrowed, and his sharp gaze swept coldly over them.

Those men were intimidated by Elliot Everett’s strong presence, quickly coughing and reluctantly averted their gaze.

Elliot Everett recognized the man standing beside her as the one who claimed to have grown up with Nancy Sutton, and his eyes instantly deepened.

"Zeke Everett, Miss Sutton seems to be the companion of the Keaton Family’s young man. They look like they get along quite well..."

Before the assistant could finish, he felt a chill down his back, confronting Elliot Everett’s unemotional gaze, swallowing the rest of his words forcibly.

Looking at Miles Keaton standing beside Nancy Sutton, Elliot Everett found it extremely unpleasant, tightly gripping the wine glass in his hand, emanating an invisible low pressure.

Previously, Nancy was clearly very averse to Miles Keaton, but why did she agree to be his companion this time?

"Nancy, would you like to dance?"

Before Nancy Sutton could agree, Miles Keaton reached out to hold her hand.

For his boundary-crossing behavior, Nancy Sutton felt very repulsed, furrowing her brows to avoid his hand, coldly refusing, "I don’t want to dance, you may ask another lady for a dance."

Agreeing to accompany Miles Keaton to the banquet today was a rash emotional decision, regretting it immediately after calming down. Yet, she is not someone who breaks promises, even reluctantly attending the banquet despite not wanting to accompany Miles Keaton. The source of this content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Nancy Sutton just wished the banquet would end quickly, no longer wishing to stay.

"Nancy, could you at least save face for me? My friends are watching..." Miles Keaton said awkwardly after being rejected.

Nancy Sutton glanced at the group of men not far away, a deeper impatience showing on her face.

They are a group of lawless playboys, Nancy Sutton felt no goodwill towards them, naturally unwilling to save face.

"I only promised to accompany you to this banquet, the promise is fulfilled, don’t trouble me further."

Witnessing this scene, Miles Keaton’s group of friends gathered around.

"Miles, Nancy is really not giving you any face!"

"Exactly, look how she’s been treating you indifferently, how proud! Is she just some well-known designer, what’s there to be proud of?"

"Exactly, though her family background is good, your background is good too, being the son of the Keaton Family. Her disrespect still is ungrateful!"

Miles Keaton’s face didn’t look good, "Enough, don’t say anymore. She’s been arrogant since childhood."

Looking at Miles Keaton’s expression, his group of playboy friends winked mischievously.

"If you ask me, Miles, you should drug her, once you sleep with her, no matter how proud, she’ll have to submit to you!"

"Exactly, once you sleep with her, let’s see how proud she is! I’ve got the drugs, just find a way to mix it into her drink, and your wish will be fulfilled!"

"Well... this doesn’t seem right..." Miles Keaton hesitated.

"Come on, what’s wrong with it?" They continued encouraging Miles Keaton, "You’ve liked her for so long. If you don’t claim her now, and she goes off with someone else, you’ll regret it big time!"

Listening to their words, Miles Keaton’s hesitations faded entirely, quickly accepting the drug from them.

They were right. He’s been fond of her for so many years, yet she’s still sending mixed signals. Today, he must have her!
