Chapter 232 : Recognized
“C’mon, it’s not possible that you would know someone like that,” Paul said, his voice edged with disdain as he leaned closer to Dorothy. He lifted his wine glass lazily, swirling the golden liquid inside without taking a sip. His gaze flicked briefly toward the direction Andrew had gone. They had all watched the brief incident that had unfolded between Mirian and Andrew. None of them had commented at first, but their eyes had said enough— even if Andrew wasn't a waiter as Mirain had mistaken him for , he didn't seem far from that .But there was a question lingering through their mind "How did he get a vip pass ? “Who knows, he might have gotten a free invite or something,” Paul said out loud as he smiled without warmth, clearly amused by the idea that someone dressed like that could be allowed in a place like this.“Paul is right. Where do you think you could possibly know someone like that?” Mirian asked dismissively , her voice laced with disdain .Dorothy looked over to Andr
Chapter 231 : One Of Them
“Get me an extra wine glass,” the voice, which belonged to Mirian—one of Anastacia’s friends—ordered again, this time harsher than the first.Andrew didn’t say a word to the lady to clarify that he wasn't a waiter. He didn’t need to. Even a blind man could see that he wasn't wearing the same uniform as the waiters. His outfit—a dark, unbranded polo shirt tucked into plain, well-fitted jeans—stood out against the polished uniform of the restaurant’s waiters. But the woman wasn’t blind. She was being deliberately condescending.Her tone had the sharpness of someone used to belittling strangers. It wasn’t the first time someone mistook him for less than he was, but Andrew didn’t react. He’d learned that silence sometimes hits harder than protest. He stared at her for half a second then turned his face away, impassive. He wasn’t here for drama. Anastacia shifted uncomfortably in her chair as she tried to hide the fury brimming inside her.She was pissed, but not because her friend was
Chapter 230: Coincidence
The next day, Andrew went about his day, and was heading home that evening. He hadn’t eaten all day, and his stomach grumbled with irritation, but he barely noticed. His mind wandered until something suddenly clicked. He remembered that one of the men had given him a voucher.Andrew dug into his wallet and pulled out the voucher. The paper felt crisp and cold in his hand. It was a one million dollar voucher to one of the top restaurants in Jashem City. A ridiculous amount, too extravagant to ignore. He blinked at it, then tucked it back into his wallet with a low sigh. He decided to go eat first with the free voucher before heading home.Half an hour later, Andrew arrived at the Mountain Palace Restaurant—a 100-storey skyscraper that lit up the city skyline.Wind pressed gently against his coat as he looked up at the towering building, its glass panels reflecting the early night. It wasn’t just a restaurant. It was a landmark. It was one of the top seven-star restaurants in the cit
Chapter 229: Impending Disaster
Mr. Devon sat in his leather chair, hands steepled, his eyes fixed on the TV screen like his life was dependent on it .The room was dim except for the light from the screen, flickering across his hard-set face. The room was wrapped in silence until the door creaked. One of his men leaned in, said something in a hush. Mr. Devon didn’t shift, his voice came low and deliberate—“Let him in.” Immediately Jackson stormed in like a man on fire, his jaw set, eyes cutting across the room before settling on Devon. He didn’t sit. Didn’t greet. Just folded his arms and fired off, “Where are we with the plan?” The edge in his voice was sharp but Devon didn’t blink.He paused for a moment , a smirk curled around his lips ,then he pointed his finger at the TV. “Our plan is set,” Mr.Devon said, his eyes still glued to the TV. “That news is our plan.” Jackson narrowed his eyes, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. The screen showed a smiling woman holding a child, her name flashing in
Chapter 228: Unwanted Husband
Andrew decided he might as well eat first. The voucher was free. It wouldn’t make sense to waste it. And maybe after that—after some warm food in his stomach—he’d go home and forget how strange the day had been.Half an hour later, he found himself standing in front of the hundred floors building. One of the top hotels in Jashem. Even the entrance smelled expensive. A waiter in white gloves had come out before he even asked for help. “This way, sir,” the man had said. And Andrew had followed.He didn’t ask questions. He didn’t want to draw attention. Just a quiet meal. A quiet hour before he returned to whatever his life was.The waiter led him past the glass staircase, past the champagne-colored chandeliers, past people who didn’t look at him, because to them, he wasn’t even there. And just as Andrew reached the section with his table, his eyes moved to the far side of the room.And there she was. Anastacia.He froze. Not because he wasn’t used to surprises. But because nothing abo
Chapter 227: The Plot
In a dimly lit room , Mr. Devon sat in his chair, back straight, hands resting on the armrest with the kind of practiced stillness that came from years of authority. The screen before him flickered with live news coverage, muted but vivid. His eyes didn’t blink much. His mind wasn’t watching the news. It was listening to what it wanted to hear in the silence behind the noise.The door creaked open with a hesitant knock that came too late. One of his men stood there, head slightly bowed, voice clipped short as he spoke. “Dr. Jackson is asking for you, sir.”Mr. Devon did not move his head. His voice was calm. Almost disinterested. “Let him in.”He didn't need to look. He didn’t have to. He already knew Jackson would enter without waiting for permission, as he always did.Jackson stepped in, shoes echoing faintly against the polished floor, and stopped only once he reached the center of the room. His brow was furrowed in a way that made him look important. But Devon could see right thr
