HappyNovelThe man with a stern expression wasn't biting. "Where's Isaac?"
"Isaac just got off the plane. He asked us to keep you company until he arrives."
Impatience was already etched on his face. He was on the verge of getting up to leave when Devon suddenly
spotted Chloe. "Ms. Chloe, what brings you here?" he asked, catching her off guard.
Startled by Devon's voice, Chloe becthe center of attention as everyone on the nearby sofas turned to look
at her.
"And who might she be?" inquired the woman draped around Devon, eyeing Chloe suspiciously.
Her gaze finally landed on Chloe's naturally stunning, makeup-free face. Devon knew all too well about the

The illustrious King of Eldridge had switched his affections, even going as far as joining a reality show and
proposing publicly.
When Devon witnessed that proposal, he was nearly speechless. Was that really the Connor they all knew?
They'd always assumed Connor would end up marrying someone from the prestigious Gilbert family.
Enter Ms. Chloe, out of the blue, with no noteworthy background-just a small-town beauty.
Their circle of lifelong friends was skeptical about this match. Marriages among the elite were rarely left to

Kash, at first glance, seemed upright and didn't deserve to be ensnared by deceit.
So, Chloe boldly sat next to Kash and poured him a drink.
Oddly, Kash didn't shoo her away as he had with others. Instead, he studied her with a slight frown.
Devon was clueless about what was happening but loved the unfolding .
He was part of today's bet too, though his choice of woman didn't catch Kash's eye.
Could Ms. Chloe really be Parker's find? This was getting entertaining.
But instead of pouring Kash a drink, Chloe brewed a cup of tea and offered it to him. "Kash, have stea."
