Chapter 248

"Not bad," Adair said, smirking. "Life's been great since leaving you. My new boyfriend is tall, handsome, and still in college. He's way better than you in every way."

Her words were meant to provoke Asher, but he remained entirely unbothered. "Congratulations!" he said lightly.

Adair was seething at his indifference.

Spotting Elara, Adair immediately turned to her in an attempt to break the awkwardness. "Elara."

Asher's gaze followed, landing on Elara.

Elara knew that Adair had not moved on from this matter. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let her entire attitude shift just to avoid Asher.

Elara said, "Why are you two standing here instead of going inside? Has our law firm suddenly run out of space for conversations?"

Asher followed her lead. "I'm here for Hazel, but they haven't arrived yet."

Hazel was now in charge of their company's matters.

Elara asked, "I heard you've returned to the Linde Group."

Crispin had mentioned it to her, saying that the current progress at the Linde Group was largely Asher's doing.

Asher chuckled at her question. "That's right! QuickClip has already been keeping me busy, but my mom's health hasn't been great, so she asked me to step in."

He continued, "I'll be tied up for a while, so you probably won't see me around here for some time."

Adair snapped, "Then get lost already. Who wants to see you anyway? You're so shameless!"

Asher wasn't fazed by her outburst. "You're still holding onto resentment about the broken engagement, aren't you?" He said it as casually as if discussing the weather, which only made Adair seethe even more. "This world is so unfair! How can a man like you still end up on top?" She fumed.

"You didn't seem to think that when you used to like me," he quipped, smirking.
