Chapter 0516

Christopher hosted a banquet, insisting that I couldn't miss today's lunch after skipping last night's dinner. He claimed it was prepared just for me and was exceedingly luxurious.

The restaurant was extremely private, catering only to esteemed guests. Even Douglas had to wait outside.

After what happened last night, I couldn't find an excuse to ask Pete to join me for a regular gathering. I could only grit my teeth and watch the staff stop Douglas from entering.

I could see that Christopher hadn't exaggerated. The setting wasn't just extravagant-it was absurd.

I wasn't the only guest at the gathering. There were both men and women. The banquet hall was elegant, and a waiter slowly wheeled in a cart.

Christopher grinned maliciously and said, "Ariana, your lunch is right on that cart."

I wasn't concerned about the food itself. I just wanted a chance to talk to him and understand his intentions toward Jones Corporation.
