Maurice leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed and at ease. "I'm still pursuing her. We interesting woman, talented and composed. But I'm not sure if she'd be interested in me."

Wesley grew more intrigued. He'd heard that many women liked Maurice, yet none had ever caught his interest, not even candidates from affluent family alliances. He was curious which woman had finally managed to pique Maurice's attention.

"Oh? Who is she? I've never heard of you being interested in anyone. It's funny-just got back, and now there's someone on your mind?" Wesley asked.

"Oh, you're interested? Maybe next time I'll introduce her to you," Maurice said with a sly smile, briefly glancing at Easton. "I actually have a dinner date with her in two days. Her name's Natalie."

Easton's eyes turned icy as he shot Maurice a sharp look. "Mr. Chambers, isn't it improper to pursue another man's wife?"

Wesley's smile froze. 'Is he talking about the Natalie I know?'

He looked quickly at Easton. Under the soft lights, Easton's striking face was half-shadowed, but his growing intensity was unmistakable.

Even a few young men playing cards nearby felt the chill in the air, breaking out in cold sweats.

Wesley felt perplexed, realizing he'd missed a lot in the few months he'd been away.

Easton, feeling he shouldn't have come, grew increasingly irritated. His dynamic with Maurice was always tense-they were perpetually at odds.

"Mr. Chambers, let me remind you that Natalie is still my wife," Easton stated coldly.

Maurice offered a smirk. "Oh? But from what Natalie told me, she's been divorced for several months now. And I looked into it-apparently, you were the one who forced her to sign the papers, and she did it."

"When your marriage still existed, you had an affair with Jennifer Simpson. You two even made it to the trending topics and became a power couple. Now everyone in Shagrity know you and Jennifer are meant to be together, but no one knows Natalie is your wife," he continued.
