Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 Unsettled Hearts

Rose’s face grew even more unpleasant.

Just then, Shawn’s voice sounded. “What did you want to ask me?”

Lara turned toward the voice to see Shawn. Knowing Rose was here, it wasn’t surprising that Shawn from the same law firm would also be present.

His firm had business dealings with the Torres Group as well.

“Your colleague here suspects I used some dirty trick to become a Torres Group supplier. She also said I came to this banquet to seduce the powerful and climb the social ladder,” Lara said with a laugh.

Shawn slightly furrowed his brow, looking displeased at Rose.

Rose’s face flushed crimson instantly. She never expected Lara would pour out those words directly in front of Shawn like

that.

“She is quite funny. If I already have a boyfriend like you, why would I covet other men?” Lara said, even deliberately hooking a finger under Shawn’s chin, striking a provocative pose. “Or does she think you’re inferior to the men here?”

Upon hearing this, the surrounding people all showed surprise.

Is this really the lawyer known for keeping women at a distance?

Especially Rose, who looked as if she’d been struck by lightning.

Is this… something Shawn would say? And to Lara, an upstart!

As for the two socialites beside Rose, the mockery on their faces completely vanished, replaced by seriousness.

Shawn’s attitude toward this woman seems unusual, especially since she just said he’s her boyfriend, and Shawn didn’t deny it.

Everyone in upper–class circles knew what Shawn represented in Washington.

Wealthy families always encountered lawsuits.

The law firms in Washington all took their lead from Shawn’s family, and Shawn himself was currently a top lawyer with an undefeated record.

If they really made an enemy of Shawn, they could probably forget about winning any future lawsuits.

“What’s wrong? Is it so hard to answer?” Shawn looked at Lara, 2/5

who appeared dumbstruck.

like some scared little rabbit.

“Uh… You’re my boyfriend. Of course, I only want you,” Lara replied with some difficulty.

Shawn raised an eyebrow.

So, she thinks once the one–year agreement is over, she can look for other men?

But I shouldn’t push her too hard, or she might hide even further away.

“Then it’s settled. Having me, you should not give another glance to any other man,” he said, staring at her.

She felt his gaze was like an invisible net, trapping her firmly, making her unable to move.

“Alright.” Lara forced a smile.

Watching this scene, Riley couldn’t help but wonder.

Lara had said their relationship was only supposed to last a

year.

But watching Shawn, it didn’t seem like he’d let go that easily.

Even… in public, he said things to Lara that sounded like both 3/5 a vow and a threat.

snapping Riley out of her reverie.

Riley turned to look at the approaching man.

“Mr. Haynes, long time no see.”

Calvin Haynes was actually familiar to Riley. He was the head of North American operations for a major international corporation. She had interacted with him before when she worked for Murphy Tech.

Calvin smiled, “I heard recently that you left Murphy Tech. I’ve been wanting to recruit you. Would you be interested in joining my company?”

“I’m sorry, I’ve already joined Blue Sky Tech,” Riley said.

“Mr. Haynes, Riley is our head of technology R&D. If there’s an opportunity, I hope we can collaborate in the future.” Lara didn’t forget to network with Calvin.

Calvin glanced at Riley, unwilling to give up. “Ms. Anderson, are you sure you don’t want to? At my company, you’d have greater development opportunities.”

Riley shook her head. “I really like Blue Sky Tech. I want to work with my friend to grow and strengthen the company.”

“That’s a real pity. I hope we get a chance to collaborate.” Calvin shook hands with Lara, then looked at Riley again.

before.”

“Of course,” Riley replied.

The two began conversing. Meanwhile, on the other side, a pair of hawk–like eyes were fixed on them.

“Clearly you care about her, yet you act like you don’t know her?” Thomas teased Sebastian.

Sebastian maintained a cold, aloof demeanor, but his eyes kept drifting toward Riley from time to time.
