Chapter 366

Andrey’s POV

I looked up at Henry Hartford, really studying him for the first time.

The man screamed power. Not just money, but the kind of authority that comes from building something yourself. His eyes held that calculating coldness the look of someone who takes what he wants without asking.

So this was Astrid’s mystery crush.

I shot her a teasing look. “Not bad taste.”

“Please,” she muttered, elbowing me. “Like I’d crush on just anybody.”

As we approached, I noticed Hartford’s eyes flick to Astrid before settling on me with an intensity that was almost uncomfortable.

Beside me, Astrid’s usual swagger vanished. The woman who’d fearlessly confronted Thalia Parker was suddenly shrinking like a schoolgirl.

“Mr. Hartford,” she said, her voice weirdly high.

Henry barely nodded at her before turning to me. “Evelyn, it’s been a while.”

I froze. The casual way he said my sister’s name caught me completely off guard.

“Do we know each other?”

His mouth curved slightly. “You don’t remember? The yacht in New York harbor five years ago? The explosion? I’d be dead if you hadn’t jumped in after me.”

A chill ran through me.

Five years ago. New York. Yacht explosion.

There was only one major incident that year the same one where Blake’s father died and Blake ended up blind on the shore where I found him. The event that started everything.

Was Henry saying Evelyn was there? That my sister saved him?

“But I thought…” I turned to Adrian, confused. “Wasn’t I in Sydney all my life until recently?”

This contradicted everything I’d been told. The Parkers and Adrian had always said Evelyn never visited New York, let alone saved anyone from drowning.
