Chapter 276

Evadne was in her office, scrutinizing the banquet plan with a seriousness that surpassed even when she organized Ada’s wedding.

Last time, her diligence was due to Ada being an important business partner. This time, it was because Myra was her family.

“Miss Evadne, you have been working too hard, pulling three all–nighters in a row. Take a break, Jason, her assistant, brought her a glass of orange juice, fearing the constant intake of coffee wouldn’t be good for her stomach.

“I can’t rest yet. The banquet hall is all set but Myra’s gown isn’t ready,” Evadne put down the files, massaging her aching temples.

At her age, most other girls would be out shopping with their besties, travelling around the world, or experiencing the bitter–sweetness of love. But all she could do was immerse herself in piles of paperwork and dry figures, leading the hotel staff, thinking about how to improve performance.

She was a strong woman, but not made of iron. Feeling tired was only human.

“Arrange something for me later. I need to visit Camille’s studio, Evadne instructed.

“Is it about finishing Myra’s gown?”

“Yes, we won’t make it in time if we don’t put in extra hours.”

Jason sighed, feeling sorry for her.

At this moment, his phone vibrated.

Cassius sent him a message on WhatsApp, the list of guests for Myra’s birthday banquet, with a note saying “pass it to Miss Evadne“.

Jason read the message. Among the first few names, the three sons of the Chambers family stood out particularly

Recalling the night when Matthew threw money at him, and the woman who vulgarly insulted Ms. Nydia, he felt a surge of anger, his eyes reddening. “Jason, is there something wrong with the list? You look strange,” Evadne, with her keen eyes, caught his micro–expression.

“Miss Evadne, there’s something. I think you need to know.”

Then, Jason recounted the incident from the night he sent Ms. Nydia back to school.

But he didn’t mention the humiliation from Matthew,

He initially wanted to handle Nydia’s trouble himself, but he realized that Matthew’s mistress was not an ordinary problem.

He was just a secretary, too weak to protect Ms. Nydia.

If that woman and Ms. Nydia were from the same school, she might have been causing trouble for Ms. Nydia for a while. He couldn’t always be there to help Ms. Nydia. So he could only ask Miss Evadne to step in and take revenge for Ms. Nydia.

Evadne furrowed her brows after hearing the story, her clear eyes filled with anger.

“She’s just a mistress of Matthew, a low–quality woman who shouldn’t even be seen in public. How dare she provoke my sister?”

Miss Evadne’s eyes widened with fury, and she.slammed the table, “She won’t get away with it!”
