What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 503

Silas hadn't expected Finnian to say something like that. He paused for a moment before a smirk curled his lips. "That's an interesting thing for you to say. If it's a prize won through sheer capability, I'd gladly accept it."

Finnian's expression darkened even further. Silas was still holding a grudge over what happened to his sister back then, wasn't he? Was the whole point of him returning from abroad just to steal his wife?

A trace of profound irritation shadowed Finnian's brow.

By the time the Celebration Dinner wrapped up, it was already eleven o'clock. Finnian had too much to drink and was sitting in a lounge while the guests downstairs gradually departed.

Dexter walked over and said, "Mr. Sanders, Dr. Chavez is leaving."

Finnian stood up and saw Kaia standing in the hallway, chatting with a few industry peers. A moment later, she waved goodbye to them and walked toward an elevator.

Finnian closed the distance with a few long strides.

"Kaia!"

Kaia turned around, surprised to see Finnian stepping out from an adjacent corridor.

"Thank you for coming today. I didn't think you'd show up."

Kaia replied coolly, "I came representing Veridian Future. If it were up to me personally, I definitely wouldn't have attended."

Finnian was taken aback. Right at that moment, the elevator doors slowly began to close.

At first, Kaia was looking down at her phone. As the doors were about to shut, she looked up, her gaze fixed through the narrowing gap on Finnian, who stood rooted to the spot until the doors completely sealed shut.

Finnian planted his hands on his hips, glancing back at Dexter. "I told you to look into her past crush on Simon Quinn. Do you have any news yet?"

Dexter looked a bit awkward and replied, "The people Dr. Chavez did research with back then are all high-profile individuals now. I've managed to arrange a meeting with one of them for the day after tomorrow. I heard she didn't get along well with Dr. Chavez back then. I'm not sure if she'll know anything about this."

Finnian nodded. "Report back to me the second you find out."
