Chapter 319: In case you have forgotten
Sara’s heart leaped with corporate ambition. Caleb Bolton was the white whale she had been chasing for months.If not for Alistair's actions the last time she met with Caleb Bolton, she would have already been in business with him. If the Bolton Group invested even a fraction of its capital into the Connor Group’s new oncology drug, her company would instantly catapult to a multi-billion-dollar valuation overnight.She immediately stepped forward, preparing her most dazzling, deferential greeting. "Chairman Bolton, it is an absolute honor to—"Before Sara could even finish her sentence, Caleb Bolton walked right past her extended hand, his entire focus locked onto Alistair's adopted sister."Miss Reid, it is truly an honor," Caleb said, his voice laced with a deep, unfeigned reverence that shocked the surrounding executives.Despite being three times her senior and holding unparalleled wealth in the province, the grand patriarch of the Bolton family bowed his head slightly toward C
Chapter 318: An unpleasant meeting
Standing at the grand arched entrance, Sara Connor felt a profound wave of pride swell within her chest.Dressed in her flawless ivory suit, she watched the glittering crowd filter into the venue.She, along with a select group of high-level Connor Group executives, personally welcomed the VIPs.This was the pinnacle she had fought for.The sheer scale of the audience she had managed to convene tonight proved that the Connor Group was no longer a struggling regional entity.They were on the verge of rewriting medical history.Yet, despite the triumphant atmosphere, a heavy shadow loomed over her thoughts. Tristan was currently nowhere to be seen—likely resting in the VIP lounge or finalizing his presentation slides—but it wasn't his absence that troubled her.It was the frantic, tearful phone call from her mother this afternoon.‘Why did you have to go that far, Alistair?’ she thought bitterly, her eyes narrowing as she greeted another smiling investor.She had spent three years beli
Chapter 317: Under one roof
It wasn't just food—it was structurally perfect nourishment, prepared by someone with an absolute, microscopic mastery over life-energy parameters.Beside Isabella, Elizabeth took her first bite, and a soft, involuntary gasp escaped her lips.Her family dined at three-star Michelin restaurants across Europe every week, yet nothing she had ever tasted carried this level of profound, soul-soothing depth.For a few seconds, the fierce rivalry between the two women completely vanished, replaced by a stunned, reverent silence as they thoroughly savored the few bites they had been granted.Alistair finished his meal in perfect silence, entirely unbothered by their starry-eyed expressions.He placed his plate in the sink, washed his hands, and checked the sleek silver watch on his wrist."Your five minutes are up," Alistair announced, his voice snapping them out of their culinary trance.He picked up a dark, tailored suit jacket resting on the back of a nearby chair, slipping it over his lin
Chapter 316: The clock is ticking
Just as Alistair turned to take his leave, opening the door behind him, the sweet aroma of the meals he'd prepared wafted out into the courtyard, drifting into Isabella's nostrils and leaving her speechless and very much hungry.Immediately, she asked. “Master Reid, did you cook something?”“That I did,” Alistair replied. “Would you like to have a taste?”“Absolutely!” Isabella immediately said in excitement. Realising what was happening, Elizabeth immediately spoke up. “I'd love to have a taste as well!”At this point, one would think these two women were not the most powerful women in all of Haven and were instead little children vying for attention. Alistair stood with his hand resting on the heavy bronze door handle, his back to the two women.For a brief second, his shoulder dropped ever so slightly—a rare, subtle sign of pure exasperation from a man who could command the elements.He had intended to have a quick, quiet meal. Instead, he had somehow ended up hosting a culinary
Chapter 315: Catfight
Any other man would be in heaven having been visited by two of the richest, most powerful, and most beautiful women in all of Haven. It would be an honour that they would keep close for the rest of their life.However, Alistair thought differently.In that moment, when he wished for nothing more than to enjoy the hot meal he'd made, he saw the two women's unannounced visit as an annoyance. He stepped out just in time to hear the two in a heated argument.“How did you find out about this place?” Elizabeth asked with a deep frown. “Oh please, do you really think this house is that well hidden that I wouldn't be able to find it?” Isabella replied. “Hmmph, you are supposed to get permission from either my father or me before coming here,” Elizabeth remarked. “Oh? But I thought you handed this place over to Master Reid. So are you saying that despite handing this place over to Master Reid, you still consider it yours?” Isabella sneered.“That… of course not! Fine then, did you get Mas
Chapter 314: Just keep digging
"I look forward to it, Sara," Alistair murmured.Without waiting for her reply, he tapped the screen to end the call and slipped his phone smoothly into his pocket.He handed his card to the blinking cashier, a faint, razor-sharp smile playing on his lips.Back at the Grand Horizon Hall, Sara slowly lowered her phone, her breathing shallow as she tried to calm her racing pulse."Did he apologize?" Tristan asked softly, his voice a perfect mask of gentle solicitude as he handed her the glass of sparkling water."No," Sara said, her voice tight, her eyes locked onto the massive corporate banner above the stage. "He denied everything and made excuses, just like always. But he's still coming tonight."Tristan took a sip of his own drink, turning his head slightly toward the auditorium entrance to hide the malicious, triumphant smirk spreading across his face.'Good,' he thought, his heart pounding with a dark, vindictive thrill. 'Come, Alistair. Walk right into the trap. By the time this
