Chapter 544

Malvina's dislike for Vesta was matched only by her equal distaste for Thorne.

After finishing with her jabs at Vesta, she turned to Thorne with a bright, almost friendly smile. "I've heard so much about how devoted Mr. Henderson is to Ms. Hawkins,” she said sweetly. "They say wherever he goes, she's right by his side. Seeing you two together tonight, I can't help but think the rumors were spot-on."

Her words dripped with sarcasm, but the smile she wore was so convincing that anyone unfamiliar with the situation might actually believe she was genuinely complimenting Thorne and Vesta's relationship.

Just then, someone else wandered over to join their little group. Picking up on Malvina's remark, they laughed and chimed in, "Absolutely. Mr. Henderson really does adore Ms. Hawkins."

Malvina shot Thorne a cold, dismissive glance but didn't bother to reply. After all, today was PrimeStar's big celebration. It wasn't worth starting a scene just because of those two.

Stewart and Charlene seemed to agree.

With a stiff smile, Stewart said, "Mr. Henderson, my mentor and I have some matters to attend to. Please excuse us."

Vesta, for her part, understood exactly what Malvina's "I've heard so much about you" comment had really meant. Her expression soured.

While Malvina had taken aim at both Vesta and Thorne, Thorne himself didn't seem the least bit ruffled. Keeping his polite veneer perfectly intact, he replied, "Of course. Don't let us keep you."
