Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 73

"She's clearly fond of you!"

Ryan's words barely elicited a reaction from Lysander, who merely offered a slight smile and remained silent.

He walked over to the window, casually pressing a button by its side. The heavy velvet curtains began to rise slowly, revealing the expansive view below.

The wall facing the stage in the VIP box was largely open, providing an excellent view for those on the second floor.

Ryan continued chatting, "Did I see this right? Wasn't that Mila with Jade? They both have the last name Sutherland. Could they be related?"

He quickly dismissed his own speculation, "No way. I remember Jade always claiming she was an orphan with no family. Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Ryan had done some digging on Mila, thanks to Giselle. She hailed from a modest family in a small town, having clawed her way into the Montgomery family with cunning and ruthlessness. After securing her place, she cut ties with her past, a heartless, opportunistic social climber.

He couldn't believe someone like Mila could be connected to someone as

prestigious as Jade. It had to be a coincidence of surnames.
