The mention of Drizzlewood Retreat made Evan’s face fall. He was absolutely livid, pained as if he was counting every penny he’d lost.

Seventeen point eight million dollars.

All for one meal. Who would believe that?

Say it out loud, and no one will buy it.

But it actually happened.

Evan barely remembered how he got through that day. He didn’t have enough cash on him, so he had to take out a loan just to settle the bill and get out of Drizzlewood Retreat.

Later, he had no choice but to ask his father for help to pay off the debt.

Compared to that massive amount, the case of wine Stefan mentioned was pocket change. But the reminder alone brought back awful memories, so, of course, his face darkened.

“Evan, you’re looking a little off. You’re not upset about me giving that wine to Mr. Chuck Stewart, are you?” Stefan said, then added as if thinking out loud, “Maybe I should have Sara reimburse you for it.”

“You…” Evan was fuming inside but helpless. “You think I care about a few bottles of wine? Don’t go running your mouth to Sara. I just texted Mr. Chuck Stewart-he said they’re already inside the venue. How come you’re not in there? Oh, I get it. You must not have made the cut. So wake up, man. Someone like you doesn’t belong with Sara.”

“Getting in is no big deal. I’m just waiting for the Reed family to send someone for me,” Stefan lit a cigarette and said calmly.

“The Reed family’s sending someone for you? You seriously think you’re their honored guest?” Evan couldn’t help but laugh.

Stefan nodded and left with Janet.

Evan was at the entrance showing his invitation when he glanced back and caught sight of Stefan walking off with Janet.

He murmured, “Wait… Someone actually came for that guy? Could it really be the Reed family? No way. No freaking way. He just got out of prison. How would he know anyone important in the Reed family? Besides, they’re not even heading toward the venue…”

Evan made up his mind. Once he got inside and saw Sara, he’d spread the word about Stefan’s big talk. It would be perfect for teasing him.
