I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 344

And the Kendall patriarch had already beaten him to the punch, bringing her into his family as a protegee.

Just one of those titles was enough to demand profound respect. Zoe had monopolized both.

Sienna pulled her gaze away, too disgusted to keep watching. No matter how she spun it, Zoe was supposed to be the embarrassing outcast, yet seeing her thrive felt like a slap in the face.

"Sienna, Hayden..."

Julian Winters finally strolled in, fashionably late. It wasn't until he arrived that he realized the room was packed with absolute heavyweights.

Knowing Sienna's current untouchable status in the elite circles, Julian strutted around with unbearable arrogance.

His casual greeting made Quentin and the others glance over. They didn't know the man, but he shared a faint resemblance to Sienna.

Even Ethan raised an eyebrow.

Hayden?

Who was this guy talking to?

Hayden offered a curt nod, accepting the greeting.

"Why are you so late?" Sienna's voice dripped with annoyance.

"Your two nephews demand my undivided attention, you know that," Julian defended himself. "Your sister-in-law is useless, so I had to make sure the boys were settled before rushing over here."

In reality, Julian had just crawled out of a mistress's bed. He hadn't taken this conference seriously at all.

What was the point of a business pitch? As far as he was concerned, with Hayden backing him, any business venture in the city was a guaranteed goldmine. Why bother with the hassle?

Networking used to be exhausting, but now that Sienna had married into power, the whole family was riding her coattails.

He had figured it out—as long as he clung to Hayden's coattails, his life would be pure luxury.
