The Disguised Billionaire She Rejected novel Chapter 9

Meanwhile, Travis, the true orchestrator of everything that had happened, was sitting comfortably in the living room with a glass of wine in his hand. The lights were dim, the television playing softly in the background.

Marcus had been accused.Morgan had made a fool of herself online. Jessica ’s company stock had dropped. And he had escaped suspicion completely.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Travis frowned slightly. “Who is it?”

A servant opened the door, and a mailman stepped inside holding an envelope.

“Delivery,” the mailman said. “For you mister. This is what you asked for.”

Travis looked confused.

“What I asked for?” he said. He didn’t remember asking for anything.

“Yeah, mister… This is for you.” The mailman stated.

Travis hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the envelope.

“…Alright.”

The mailman left, and Travis looked down at the letter in his hand, still puzzled.

“What is this?”

The envelope looked expensive. Thick paper and Gold-edged seal. His curiosity immediately rose as he tore it open.

The moment he pulled out the card inside, his eyes widened. For a second, he thought he was seeing wrong.

It was an invitation. Not just anyone, It was an invitation to the Langston family’s annual business banquet.

Travis stood up so suddenly that the wine glass in his hand almost fell.

“No way…” he whispered.

He read the card again and again.

The Langston family banquet was one of the most exclusive events in the entire city. Only the top businessmen, powerful families, and high-level partners were invited every year. Even wealthy people could not attend unless they had real connections.

And now…He had an invitation.

Travis’s face slowly broke into a huge smile. “Haha… this… this is big,” he said excitedly. “I really hit the jackpot this time!”

He immediately started thinking. One of my friends must have sent this. Or maybe someone wants to get close to me.

He didn’t know how the invitation had arrived, but he didn’t care. What mattered was that he had it.

“If I tell Jessica I got this through connections… she will definitely think more highly of me,” he muttered. “The Spencer banquet… hahaha… even her company can’t easily get an invitation.”

He imagined how Jessica and Morgan would look at him in his head. especially jessica who was a high fan of the Langston. He clenched the invitation tightly.

“If I play this right… Jessica will be mine sooner or later.” He laughed softly, completely satisfied.

What Travis did not know was that this invitation had not been meant for him at all. It had originally been prepared by Marcus as a gift. A wedding surprise he had planned for Jessica . He intentionally didn’t put a name. The mailman therefore made a mistake.

If Jessica had gone to the city hall that day like they agreed… Marcus would have revealed everything. But she never came. And now the invitation had ended up in Travis’s hands.

At that moment, Jessica was still in her office, surrounded by documents and reports. The atmosphere in the company was tense, and everyone was busy trying to control the damage caused by the scandal.

Her head hurt from looking at numbers all afternoon. Just as she finished another call with the finance department, her phone rang again.

She looked at the screen. Travis.

Jessica took a breath and forced herself to calm down before answering. When she spoke, her voice was gentle again, completely different from the cold tone she had used earlier for Marcus.

“Travis,” she said softly. “How are you? Sorry I don’t have time for you today. Things are a mess here.”
