Divorce Time

Chapter 144

Leah snorted, “She’s got some nerve!” As she spoke, her annoyance bubbled up again, “All these big shots showing up to Helena’s birthday party, they must be close, huh?”

In her view, Charlene got to know Kenton through Stewart.

Kenton showing up at the Ross family gathering was probably Stewart’s doing.

Granger and Moran were sitting at the table next to Vesta, not too far behind her.

Granger, who had been quietly enjoying his meal, paused when he heard someone mention Kenton attending the Ross family gathering. “The Ross family’s gathering?”

Moran explained, “Oh, today is also Charlene’s grandma’s birthday. They’re hosting the celebration on the same day as this side, and there’s a high overlap in the guest list due to Thorne and Vesta’s connection. Most of the guests overlapping are here with us now.”

He wasn’t aware of this before.

He had just overheard it in the banquet hall.

Granger caught on, “So, you’re saying the Ross family’s side is practically empty now?”
