Chapter 185 Landmine

After hearing about the Barclay family, Vanessa had actually become quite interested.

If Iris can be his mistress, then with my Olivia’s beauty and personality, becoming his legitimate wife shouldn’t be a problem at all.‘

“He’s too formidable. Ordinary women can’t handle a man like him.”

There was even a rumor that he preferred men.

“And nine times out of ten, he’ll end up marrying someone from a family that’s his equal.”

Iris noticed Zane standing by a side entrance, subtly waving her over.

She stood up and smoothed her gown.

“I’m going to the restroom.”

She walked over to the side entrance, where Zane was waiting in an impeccably tailored suit.

“What was so important that it had to be said in person?”

Zane glanced toward Samuel.

“Danny has already left the company. By now he’s probably on a plane.”

He deliberately paused before continuing.

“And…”

“He collected the final payment from Samuel. A very large sum.”

“Did he actually do anything after taking the money?”

Zane shrugged. “Do what? He’s already gone. He was in charge of reviewing project proposals, so he probably just added the Sutton Corporation’s name to the document, took a picture as proof, and then deleted it.”

He had personally verified Stellar Venture’s official investment list afterward.

The Sutton Corporation wasn’t on it.

The Sutton family had been completely played by Danny.

They’d been conned out of a huge amount of money.

Iris nodded. “Good. Just be careful. Once the partnership list is announced, they’re definitely going to cause trouble.”

Samuel was one thing.

Vanessa, on the other hand, had never known where to draw the line.

“Don’t worry,” Zane replied. “I’ve already briefed security. They won’t be allowed to disrupt the banquet.”

After chatting a little longer, Zane happened to glance toward Ares’s table.

His mouth twitched.

“Boss… is that your sister?” He pointed toward Chloe, who was enthusiastically talking to Ares. “Looks like she’s trying to steal your man.”

Without even turning around, Iris replied calmly. “Ignore her.”

Out of the corner of her eye, she also caught sight of a familiar figure disappearing into the crowd.

It looked like Vanessa.

After Iris left, only Ares and Chloe remained at their table.

Chloe’s instincts immediately told her that her opportunity had finally arrived.

“Ares, which dishes on the menu do you like?”

She knew nothing about business, so she could only make awkward small talk.

Ares glanced at the menu. To his surprise, many of the dishes happened to be Iris’s favorites.

‘Stellar Venture really does have the same taste she does.‘

The only topics Chloe could talk about were childhood memories and the latest gossip circulating among high society.

Out of basic courtesy–and because she was his fiancée’s younger sister—Ares occasionally responded with a few polite words.

Just then, someone approached to offer Ares a toast.

Seeing the two chatting together, the man immediately misunderstood the situation.

“Mr. Barclay, I’ve been hearing rumors that there’s a special woman by your side lately. So it’s Miss Noir, huh…” He chuckled. “What a perfect match. When are you planning to make it official?”

The instant he saw her return, he put it away, stood up, and thoughtfully pulled out her chair.
