Chapter 186: Chapter 186

Landon Lawson squinted, suspecting that Axel Yates did it on purpose, and smiled coldly, "The things going on in my family have nothing to do with you."

Looking at the man who was full of hostility towards him, Axel Yates shrugged lightly.

Vera Yates hooked her arm through Landon Lawson’s and smiled as she spoke to Axel Yates, "The matters of our family don’t need President Yates to worry about. Seeing Sienna Quinn live happily, we as friends, of course, are pleased."

Axel Yates nodded thoughtfully, but always felt Landon Lawson still harbored other feelings for Sienna Quinn.

Due to this small episode, everyone was curious about the suddenly appearing Felix Orwell; who exactly could he be to openly hug Sienna Quinn and even call her ’little darling’ in public?

Sienna Quinn and a few others sat chatting in the corner. Not only did Felix Orwell return today, but Chiara Thorne was also by his side. It seemed like the two had planned to come back together in advance.

Chiara Thorne looked at Sean Carter with interest. Seeing the scratches on his face, she spoke with a slowly growing jealousy, "How long have you just returned, and you’ve already managed to get your face scratched by a woman?"

"It’s... it’s not that."

Sean Carter was currently unable to defend himself. Helplessly, the scars on his face were clearly from a woman’s scratches, fulfilling anyone’s imagination.

Chiara Thorne waved her small hand, interrupting Sean Carter’s explanation, and handed the gift she had prepared long ago to Sienna Quinn.

Sienna Quinn held Chiara Thorne’s small hand, feeling excited. She never thought that her friends would all return on her birthday.

"Chiara, why did you return so suddenly? Are you not handling the matters at the French branch?" Ever since Sienna Quinn returned to the country, the Yates Group’s French branch had been managed by Chiara Thorne.

But now that she’s back, is there someone else taking over there?

"Actually, it was President Yates who asked me to return today; I just happened to encounter President Orwell, so we came back together."

Sienna Quinn was stunned for a moment. Axel Yates hadn’t even mentioned having Chiara Thorne return before, so why the sudden thought about letting her come back?

Sienna Quinn glanced toward the center of the banquet, where Axel Yates was talking to guests, handling everything gracefully, exuding noble charm in his demeanor. The source of this content ɪs N0velFire.ɴet

"You probably haven’t gone to greet President Yates yet, have you?" Sienna Quinn suddenly said. Although she didn’t know why Axel Yates asked Chiara Thorne to return to the country, seeing her long-absent friend naturally put her in a great mood.

Moreover, from what Chiara had just said, it’s very likely that Axel Yates might not let her return to France, but instead stay to work at the main company.

Chiara Thorne was Sienna Quinn’s most capable assistant, and if she really didn’t leave, she would naturally become a great help.

"I’ll go and greet President Yates now, or else he might not know I’ve returned." Chiara Thorne raised her glass and walked toward Axel Yates.

At the moment Sienna Quinn retracted her gaze, she happened to see a figure, though this person seemed very busy, laughing and chatting with clients in front of him.

Standing next to Landon Lawson was Vera Yates, whose eyes blinked as she looked at Landon Lawson, filled with tenderness.

The light shone on the two, truly portraying them as a perfect couple.

Their interaction with the client, full of witty conversation and laughter, made Sienna Quinn feel uncomfortable. Today was her birthday party, yet Landon Lawson not only failed to prepare a gift but also talked business with Vera Yates during the party.

Could it be that she held no place in his heart at all?

The sadness in her eyes flashed quickly.

This scene, however, was perfectly captured by Felix Orwell, whose heart ached faintly. It’s been five full years.

In these five years, Felix Orwell hovered around Sienna Quinn every day, hoping to carve out a place for himself in her heart.

In those five years, Sienna Quinn never mentioned Landon Lawson’s name, making him believe she’d forgotten him. But now he realized she hadn’t; it was hidden in the deepest part of her heart.

The hands by his sides clenched tightly, making a creaking sound.

What right did Landon Lawson have to gain Sienna Quinn’s favor? He wasn’t worthy!

"Sienna, to make it back this time, I really put in a lot of effort. Look at my dark circles; I’m almost getting panda eyes." Felix Orwell said pitifully, deliberately presenting his face to Sienna Quinn.

Pointing at his dark circles, he continued.

Seeing Felix Orwell’s haggard appearance, Sienna Quinn was momentarily startled.

"Working hard to charm girls, right? Haven’t I told you to take care of your health? You’re almost thirty, yet you’re soaked in nightclubs every day, look at those dark circles, you can’t escape aging."

Sienna Quinn assumed Felix Orwell’s situation was due to an overly vibrant nightlife. When she was in France, to find Felix Orwell, she’d go to various clubs, and she’d always find him there.

Her first thought was that he had partied too much.

Felix Orwell clutched his chest in mock sadness, a face full of sorrow, "Is that really how you see me?"

"What else would I think? I know exactly what kind of person you are," Sienna Quinn was amused by Felix Orwell. Seeing her laugh so happily, Felix Orwell broke into a rare smile himself.

Old Mrs. Quinn stood not far away, leaning on a cane, her gaze dark as she watched Felix Orwell chatting warmly with Sienna Quinn.

Tom Quinn shuddered slightly. Old Mrs. Quinn seemed to be angered, even her voice changed.

Trembling, he said, "This man... I don’t know him either. I’ve had no contact with him before, but from the looks of it, he seems quite familiar with Sienna."

Old Mrs. Quinn snorted coldly, unclear on who the man around her daughter was.

"Mom... and what about President Lawson? He came with Vera Yates today. It seems impossible for him and Sienna to rekindle their past." Amanda Warren’s gaze constantly switched between Sienna and Landon Lawson.

Old Mrs. Quinn snorted coldly, her gaze fixed on Tom Quinn, "In half a day, I want all the information about this man."

With those words, she turned and went upstairs, rendering today’s well-prepared birthday party meaningless.

As Old Mrs. Quinn left, Amanda Warren laughed coldly, "Does the old lady still want Sienna and Landon Lawson to reignite their past? Ha! If it weren’t for Old Mr. Lawson, she thought Landon could’ve married Sienna?"

Tom Quinn frowned at Amanda Warren, who seemed to gloat, "If Landon Lawson were our Quinn family’s son-in-law, it would greatly benefit us. With the help of the Lawson Group, the Quinn Group wouldn’t have to worry anymore, just like the Grant Group."
