Chapter 770

“Miley, come quick.

”

Snapping back to reality, Miley furrowed her brows and made her way toward the table, where only one seat remained.

It was right next to Neville.

“We’ve been waiting for you,” Ellie said as she gestured for Miley to sit.

“Allow me to introduce Neville Pierce-“

Before she could finish her words, Miley interrupted her.

“We’re already acquainted,” Miley cut in, her tone flat.

“Really?” Ellie looked puzzled.

“And how is it that you two know each other? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Miley simply scowled, unwilling to elaborate.

Neville chimed in.

“Miley and I are business associates.

She’s a very promising talent, and I’ve always admired her work ethic “Aha,” Ellie said, as if a light bulb had switched on.

Her satisfaction with Neville visibly increased.

After all, he was not only young and attractive but also charming.

Miley, however, was far from charmed.

To her, Neville was nothing but a slick talker, eager to win favor.

She didn’t trust him one bit.

She diverted her gaze from Neville and turned to her mother with a forced smile.

“Mom, this is supposed to be a family dinner.

Why have you invited an outsider?”

She emphasized the last word pointedly.

Ellie shot her a reproachful Look before replying with a bright smile, “Neville is hardly an outsider.

He’s the man your father and I thought might be a good match for you “What?” Miley was dumbstruck.

“A match?”

Her father, Judd Cullen, smiled warmly.

“His father introduced us.

Both your mother and I feel you two would be quite compatible.

So, we wanted to use this occasion to have you meet.

”

Judd was a renowned doctor overseas, while Ellie had built her own business empire.

She’d initially started her entrepreneurial journey for her husband’s sake and eventually expanded it internationally.
