Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 651 Public Declaration

The banquet hall erupted into a buzz of excitement as the elevator doors slid open, revealing Chandler stepping out.

In Kingsdom, everyone knew who he was.

Over the past couple of years, he had become a staple in financial news, often labeled by the media as the heir to the Aniston family or a rising business mogul. Yet, he never participated in interviews, which only added to his air of mystery.

No one expected him to suddenly appear at this casual class reunion.

"Oh my God, he's even better looking in person!"

"Look at those legs! Is it true that all the Aniston men are this handsome?"

"What a shame he's already married! Guess we're all out of luck!"

their attention.

With Chandler's arrival, they left Dalton behind without a second thought.

The stark change left him feeling a deep sense of disappointment.
