Chapter 222
Cynthia stood at the door for a moment. Just as she was about to enter, a waiter came by pushing a cart with fruit platters.
Cynthia noticed there was paper and a pen on the cart, so she quickly tore off a sheet to write a note. The waiter looked at her with a confused expression, but assumed she was the guest in Suite 8.
“Miss, are you the guest in there?” Cynthia was trying to find a reason to go in. She quickly nodded, “Yes, I am. Could you give me this fruit cart? I’ll take it in.”
The server was a little suspicious but didn’t think too much about it. After seeing Cynthia pushing the fruit cart inside, be turned and left.
As soon as the door opened, the room was full of excitement. It was a spacious suite filled with people. Every entertainment area was occupied. Some were playing poker, others were singing, and some were playing cards and rolling dice on the sofa.
Cynthia looked around. There were quite a few rich kids from Betrico. She even spotted a familiar face, Tommy, one of Jonathan’s childhood friends.
As Cynthia maneuvered the cart inside, she scanned the room but didn’t spot Jonathan. Her eyes began searching for her target
Cynthia’s gaze quickly locked onto the lounge area by the sofa. Sitting there were several rich kids, each with a girl beside them.
Except for one person. This person sat right in the middle of a large sofa, exuding a strong aura of righteousness.
He sat up straight, with perfect posture, eyebrows slightly furrowed as if in displeasure. Most notably, he had a noticeable scar on his forehead.
She thought. It is him! The very person those two in the hallway were plotting against just now. For some unknown reason, when Cynthia saw that face, it felt like her heart skipped a beat.
Cynthia felt a strange sense of familiarity. It was their first time meeting, yet it seemed like they had seen each other somewhere before.
Maybe it was because his demeanor was so cold and unapproachable. Everyone around him kept their distance.
A girl leaned into Tommy’s arms, pouting playfully, “Tommy, why doesn’t he smile?”
Tommy chuckled, with a carefree grin. “Mr. Xenos isn’t like us. Why don’t you try making him laugh? If you can get him to smile today, I’ll give you my Palladin watch”
The woman’s eyes almost sparkled when she saw the million–dollar watch on Tommy’s wrist. She quickly got to her feet, her fair legs striding effortlessly over the crowd as she headed toward the aloof Mr. Xenos.
But before she could even sit down, Mr. Xenos, who was gazing aphis phone, looked up, his cold eyes sweeping over her as he said, “Scram
His voice was not loud nor carried any noticeable emotion, yet les oppressive aura was almost suffocating.
The long–legged woman almost sat down but then quickly shot back to Tommy, looking all pouty as she complained, “He’s
Tommy pinched her chin with a unile. “You’ve got guts. You really dared to go over there. The elder son of the Xenos family isn’t like the second one. How could someone like you ever catch his attention?”
Next to them, a man dressed in a sharp suit landed over a drink saying. “Mr. Xenos, you’ve served and protected our

country in the military for so many years, and we truly admire you.
“We grew up as close friends with Keith, so you’re like a big brother to us as well. We’ve put together this welcome party especially for you, so please do us the honor of having a drink”
The man with a stern face didn’t accept it. He asked, “Where’s Keith?”
“Keith just got off the plane. He asked us to take care of you first He’ll be here soon,” replied the man.
68%.
The man’s expression already showed some signs of impatience Just as he was about to get up and leave, Tommy suddenly noticed Cynthia “Ms. Jones, what brings you here?”
Cynthia was startled by Tommy’s voice. For a brief moment, everyone on the couch looked over in her direction.
“Who is she?” The woman in Tommy’s arms looked Cynthia up and down with a disapproving look, finally fixing her eyes on Cynthia’s fresh yet striking face.
Tommy knew everything about what had happened recently. The well–known Betrico figurehead, Jonathan, changed his heart and even joined a reality show for her, proposing publicly
When Tommy saw the proposal, he was nearly speechless. At that moment, he even doubted if the man he saw was the real Jonathan they knew.
Moreover, everyone used to think that Jonathan would marry into the Sullivan family in the future. But out of the blue, there was Ms. Jones, with no notable background, just a little heiress from a small town
Their group of childhood friends didn’t think much of the couple. In high society, marriages are rarely about personal choice; they usually result in connections between powerful families.
Tommy had not spoken yet. But the man in the suit suddenly stood up.
“I brought her here to drink and cheer up Mr. Xenos” After saying this, he gestured to Cynthia, “Aren’t you going to pour Mr. Xenos a drink?”
Tommy looked confused. “Edward, do you really not know who she is?”
He thought, Letting Mr. Bennett’s fiancée pour drinks? Edward really must have a death wish.
Edward had heard from Keith that his eldest brother had avoided women for thirty years. Today’s setup was actually a bet among them to see whose woman could move his heart.
