Chapter 76- only at me
A towering figure cut through the crowd, making a beeline straight for Angela. "It’s the little princess’s birthday — how could I possibly miss it?" Reyn said with a smirk as he slipped a prepared contract into Angela’s hands, then gently placed it into Candy’s tiny arms.
As Angela’s brother, Reyn was a man with wealth rivaling nations, yet since she married Shaun, she hadn’t asked for a thing that was rightfully hers. But Reyn took this chance to gift their little princess ten estates in Rome and six private islands belonging to the Olette family.
"I heard you’ve been in LA for a while. Why show up only now?" Angela’s eyes flicked to the woman standing beside him, a brief flicker of surprise flashing across her face before it softened into a knowing smile.
"Handled some business," Reyn replied, his gaze fixed on the little girl in his arms. He made no effort to introduce the woman beside him — to him, it was unnecessary.
Reyn bent down and pressed a kiss on Candy’s bright, sparkling cheek, causing the little girl to giggle nonstop. Shaun then led Reyn towards the banquet hall.
Janet’s eyes casually drifted to the elegant woman beside Reyn, and to her surprise, the woman recognized her, returning a knowing smile.
"What are you staring at?" Charles suddenly pulled Janet’s attention away, a hint of displeasure on his face.
"Nothing... just looking at that woman," Janet admitted, pointing toward Reyn’s companion.
"No looking — only at me!" Charles’s hand swiftly covered her eyes, his voice low and possessive as he whispered in her ear.
