Chapter 223

The crowd was surprised and panicked when they saw it was Evander and made way for him to pass through.

On the other hand, Angeline stood still when she saw Evander. She was frozen to the spot as a glimmer of surprise flittered across her eyes.

Why is he here? Why did he have to see this?

Angeline felt overwhelmingly embarrassed.

“Mr. Golding.”

Just then, Zeferino stepped forward and extended his hand to Evander as his gaze flooded with gentleness.

“It’s been a while. What brings you here?”

“Yes, it has been a while.”

Raising his eyes to look at Zeferino, Evander shook the latter’s hand, sounding calm.

“Joan Group and Golding Group have been in collaboration for years. It’s rare for you to hold an event, Mr. Levert, so I naturally have to show my support. Sylas.”

Sylas walked up to them respectfully with a gift in his arms after he heard Evander calling for him.

“Mr. Levert, this is a gift specially selected by Mr. Golding for this event. We hope you’ll like it.”

“Thank you.”

Zeferino gestured for his assistant to take the gift. Then, he turned to Evander and said with a smile, “Your presence alone is already showing me respect and honors me. You didn’t have to waste your money.”

Evander’s gaze fell on Siobhan, and the corners of his lips curled up. He reminded Zeferino meaningfully, “Is that so, Mr. Levert? However, I can’t say that you’ve shown me the same respect.”

Zeferino’s expression turned grim following Evander’s words. He then fell silent for some time.
