Chapter 196 On Someone’s Invitation

After she gave the waiter instructions, Wendy’s eyes gleamed with malicious intent.

She patted Celia’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Don’t forget to record a video. I want to make

her go down in disgrace and leave Pamore for good.”

Hearing that, Celia felt a shiver go down her spine. This version of Wendy was unnerving.

“I… I can’t do that.”

However, Wendy didn’t give her a chance to refuse. “Even if you can’t, we’re on the same boat now.

Don’t you think so?”

Her words carried an implicit threat.

Celia glanced toward Grace, her eyes deepening in thought. She made a decision.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the bar, a man strolled over and said teasingly, “What brings you here, Mr.

Fulton?”

When Xander noticed the man, he raised an eyebrow and extended his fist for a fist bump. ‘ It’s been

quite some time.”

“Indeed. You’ve been in Pamore for some time now, and you didn’t come looking for me.” Evan Martin

walked up to Xander, the dim light highlighting his face.

“What brings you here, Xander?” Evan asked.

He had been Xander’s junior at university. They had known each other for many years and kept a good

relationship.

These days, the news of Xander giving up everything in Frenda for a woman and coming to Pamore

had spread throughout their circle.

To be honest, Evan was quite curious about the woman who had managed to melt this iceberg of a

man.

“I’ve come on someone’s invitation.” Xander lightly grazed his lips with his teeth, exuding an air of

confidence.

“I’ve heard that you gave up your position and status at Frenda to become the president of a newly

established, small company just to make a woman happy. Now it seems the rumors are true.”

Evan continued, “Let me guess, is that ‘someone‘ my future sister–in–law?”

Hearing that, Xander smiled.

It was rare to see Xander smile, and Evan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Bingo! It looks like my future

sister–in–law has graced my bar with her presence today.”

Xander frowned, still not quite used to the word “sister–in–law“. After all, he and Grace hadn’t crossed

that line yet. They were just friends.

So he patted Evan on the shoulder and said, “It’s a bit early to call her your ‘sister–in–law‘ now, but it’s

just a matter of time.” He sounded very sure.

Evan looked surprised. “Really? You haven’t won over her yet?”



Xander cleared his throat, trying to hide his unease. “There’s plenty of time ahead.”

With just one sentence, Evan could sense Xander’s deep affection.

“It seems you’re deeply in love, Xander,” he teased.

Xander’s gaze remained on Grace in the crowd. He said, “I’ve waited for so many years. A little more

waiting won’t hurt.”

At the very least, he had to wait until Grace was ready to let go of her past and open her heart to him.

Happiness could come a bit later. As long as it was genuine, Xander didn’t mind waiting.

Evan followed Xander’s gaze and looked over. But in the next moment, the cheerful look in his eyes

gradually faded away.
