Nicholas and Wayne were stunned as they both recalled the awkwardness from the other night at the stime. The two

immediately stood six feet apart and said simultaneously, "We're not close!"

To Nicholas, Wayne was clearly trying to irritate him. On the other hand, Wayne would have no intention of hanging out with

Nicholas if it weren't for Bernard's instructions.

At that moment, Hera entered the room. James said first, "Hera, are you done with work? I've booked a private room at the

Imperial Hotel for dinner tonight."

Hera scowled slightly at the nof the hotel. She wondered if he intentionally selected the Imperial Hotel.

But after thinking about it, she recalled that James valued his pride very much. Naturally, he would select the most famous hotel in

Jedburgh for dinner.

"Sure. Let's go," she answered with a nod. After all, the chefs at the hotel were the best of the best. She shouldn't have to miss out

on good food.

Besides, Bernard was outstation for work, so it would be impossible to run into him.

Before leaving, Mildred's question confirmed her thoughts. "When will Mr. Killian be back? Why don't we wait for him?" she asked.

"He's not free, so we don't have to invite him," Hera casually answered.

"What about tomorrow or the day after? No matter how busy he is, he has to eat." Mildred refused to give up.

Hera becslightly irritated. "Don't invite him. We've already broken up."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

Catherine asked, "Are you sure you've really broken up?"

Mildred exclaimed, "How could you break up with Mr. Killian?"

James asked, "Did he just agree to it?"

Lilith inquired, "Hera, are you sad?"

Gino said, "Lilith is so talented. Even Bernard is not good enough for her!"

Gideon remarked, "You've finally gotten rid of that old man."

Nicholas said, "You guys broke up? Does that mean | have a chance?"

Wayne exclaimed, "What?"

"Thank goodness | didn't accept Shuttle Ventures' investment and chose XS Corporation instead. Otherwise, it'd be awkward

whenever | run into Mr. Killian," Gideon remarked in relief.

Hera thought to herself that XS Corporation actually belonged to Bernard.

"It's hard to find someone like Mr. Killian, who's rich, powerful, and handsome. Why did you break up with him?"

Mildred sat back in her chair and continued, "Absolutely not. | disagree with you two breaking up. Quickly invite him here and

reconcile right here! Otherwise, I'm not going to dinner!"

Hera said nothing.

"Mom, don't make it hard for Hera," Lilith advised in a low voice. "This is her business, after all..."

Mildred looked away stubbornly and said, "lI don't care. If they don't get back together tonight, I'm not going to dinner. I'll just

starve to death."

"Fine, then don't go. We'll leave," Hera said before turning to walk out.

Gino immediately followed her as well as Gideon and Catherine. Lilith hesitated for a moment before tugging James along.

Mildred heard the footsteps fade away and looked back to realize that only she remained in the living room. There was even

Tiramisu, who cout of the study. It looked around before trotting out after Hera.

Mildred was shocked. Wasn't there anyone on her side?

She was doing this for the future of the Everett family by making sure Hera and Bernard remained together. Yet, none of the family

members were taking her side.
