Chapter 166 There’s No ‘Next Time’ with You

Martin walked up to Lucas and said, “Aren’t you going to check on your wife?”

Lucas gave him a cold glance, which caused Martin to turn away in frustration. It seemed that he could not even tease Lucas.

Marion followed Alice into the garden.

The Hilton family had put effort into the evening’s banquet, even decorating the garden meticulously. However, with a gathering of guests at that level, such secluded gardens were not favored, especially since many seldom-seen guests attended the night’s event.
