Jonathan rolled his eyes at the sudden appeal to fraternal bonds. Anthony didn’t bring that up when they had the scuffle.

Xavier didn’t argue. He pretended not to have seen the scuffle earlier and stood up. “Sure. Take my spot, Anthony.”

He then moved to the other side of Stephanic.

Anthony settled into his seat opposite Milly, snatching a lobster and crunching its head with audible relish, almost as if he were getting back at Jonathan.

Unfazed by the gesture, Jonathan merely smirked, digging into his own meal. Whether his good spirit stemmed from triumphing over Anthony or other reasons remained ambiguous, but contentment adorned his features.

Xavier kept his attention on his plate, yet a glint of animosity danced in his eyes.

The swiftness with which she had turned Jonathan, who harbored resentment towards her, showcased her strategic prowess.

No wonder Stephanie found herself at odds with her.
