Chapter 154

Alexei had known this party would be boring before he even turned up.

Rich people stood around pretending they weren’t about to talk shit the moment your back turned. And the women? They flocked like peacocks in glitter and stilettos, beaming like landing lights, hoping the world’s most notorious royal bachelor would single them out. He wasn’t up himself. It was just a fact of life when you were royal.

God, he could walk around with a brown paper bag over his head and women would still want him.

Of course, he didn’t disappoint. He never did. Alexei, the second son and second in line to King Theodore, always gave the crowd a good Chapter 1838

Rowan looked cold and indifferent. "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

Evan immediately felt uncomfortable, his voice rising with frustration. "So you do

know him?"

Rowan's cheeks turned a little red as she snapped back, "Evan, what are you

trying to say?"

Evan clenched his jaw. "Nothing. I just want to remind you not to forget who you

are. Don't forget what we are to each other. You're focused on some random

nobody, so what does that make me?"

Rowan's expression dimmed, her tone distant. "I don't want to talk about this

pointless stuff. I'm tired. Let's head back to the hotel to rest."

Evan kept pace beside her and tried to explain, "Rowan, I wasn't trying to

interrogate you. I just think that guy isn't worth your attention. He caused a huge

scene earlier, and now he's on the Yeagers' blacklist.

"With their influence in Goldridge, they will come after him. Plus, I've heard rumors

that Mr. Thornton was recently attacked and is seriously injured. Goldridge is full

of danger right now, and it's not safe. You're the president of the Onyx Serpents.

You should focus on our organization, not waste time on some irrelevant little

punk!"

Rowan did not even look back as she replied, "He's not just some punk. He has a

name, Andrew Lloyd. Five years ago, I was seriously ill. You remember that, right?

It was he who saved my life and healed me. I just want to find him and thank him."

Evan scoffed. "If it's just gratitude, wait until I find his address. I'll send ten million

his way. You don't need to lower yourself like this, chasing after some nobody with

your status."

Rowan did not answer, but her eyes flickered as she quietly spun through ideas.

She was already thinking of ways to ditch Evan and track down Andrew herself.

This time, she would not let that pervert who had touched her all over five years

ago slip through her fingers again.

Elsewhere, the Yeagers' scouts realized something was off when Andrew still had

not shown up.

One said, "That bastard's pretty sharp. I'll have to report to the family that he gave

us the slip. But don't worry. He's not getting out of Goldridge."

The scout's face was grim as he ordered the Yeagers to be notified and then
