Chapter 114 Stay Away From Her
She wasn't surprised to see Christian at the event.
After all, their elite social circle was intertwined and tight-knit. The slightest ripple could quickly spread throughout the community.
Christian made his way over with a drink in hand. With a nonchalant raise of his eyebrow, he asked with a subtle smile, "What's got you all so pleased?"
His gaze swept over Jaxon, paused momentarily on Anastasia, and finally settled on Harry, who was speaking.
Harry, who knew Christian well, chuckled, "I was just saying how lucky Mr. Stanford is. Otherwise, with so many promising young men after Ms. Graves, Mr. Stanford wouldn't stand a chance."
He paused as he noticed Christian's expression souring. Hastily, he added, "So, when is your wedding with Ms. Cohen? Don't forget to invite me!"
The remark only made Christian's face darken even further as he went silent, unable to respond.
A laugh escaped Jaxon's lips as he teased, "Mr. Patterson, do share with us if there's any exciting news, don't keep it to yourself."
On the side, Christian watched Anastasia's serene and emotionless face, a bitter taste spreading in his heart.
She had declined Christian's offer of the Stellar Entertainment project. She already had a new target that was even connected to Jaxon.
A nasty wave of jealousy started spreading within Christian, but he seemed utterly unaware.
He seethed quietly and mused, "It's all because of Jaxon, this oblivious stand-in, shamelessly making moves on her repeatedly!"
He replied with an indifferent tone, "I've always played fair, not like Mr. Stanford."
After hearing that, Jaxon fell silent.
Anastasia glanced at him, then lightened the mood with a few words before setting down her glass. She looked at Jaxon and whispered, "I'm off to the restroom."
Jaxon nodded slightly in response.
Throughout it all, she never once glanced at Christian.
