Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 488

"You've all really wasted a golden opportunity!"

Francis shook his head repeatedly, his heart heavy with helplessness. The light in his eyes dimmed as though he were looking at two failures.

The rest of the Sterling family shared his discontent.

"Julia, Anna, how could you waste Dad's good intentions? That's your fiancé! You should've made the effort to connect with him!

"You'll only truly know if he's the person you want to spend your life with by getting to know him beforehand! This kind of opportunity doesn't come around often. How could you make Dad so upset?" Morgan sighed, clenching his fist tightly. His anxiety felt like it might ignite at any moment.

It was clear that if Julia and Anna had spent a pleasant evening with Wade and the others, the engagement would have been as good as settled.

But instead, these two women had left the scene with such confidence.

Wade and Dean would definitely be displeased.

Morgan could only hope that this engagement didn't fall apart. If it did, how could the Sterling family ever step foot into the capital's circles?

"Julia, Anna, are you even listening? Even if you've never had a relationship, you've watched enough TV to know how this works!

"You came right back after dinner. Anyone who didn't know would think you were just there for the meal! Does the Sterling family really lack the money for one dinner? Do you two even want to connect with them?

"We'll become a laughingstock if this gets out! Do you even care?" Charlotte's stern voice cut through the room, her expression grim as she lectured the two.

She was livid.

The Sterling family could have connected with a prestigious family in the capital. It was an opportunity to rise in status! At the very least, it would've kept Francis from making trouble for them.

But now, these two daughters of hers were acting like chaste virgins, completely uninterested in interacting with Wade and Dean.
