Chapter 199



Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No way Connor had another girlfriend. Even though it wasn't public knowledge, everyone knew Connor had eyes only for Diana for years. No other woman stood a chance. So, no one dared to entertain any inappropriate thoughts.

They had to go through Diana if they wanted to curry favor with the Sartori family. But if Connor had another woman? All those years of flattery would feel like a joke.

So, no one wanted the beautiful woman standing before them to be Connor's girlfriend. That way, everyone felt balanced.

Eve, though, felt different.

As the daughter of one of the four major families, spoiled by her parents and brother and closely tied to the Sartori family, she had no such reservations.
