Elliotâs gaze darkened.
âIt sounds like youâre looking forward to my career suffering. Are you referring to the Jenkins Group or the National Investigation Bureau?â
âMr. Jenkins, arenât you a funny one? How could I dare to think that? Your success brings me great joy. too,â Romello replied, bowing slightly in fear.
Uninterested in exposing Romelloâs pretense, Elliot said, âI hope you can live up to your words. But even if you canât, it doesnât matter because youâre not capable enough to bring me down.â
Romelloâs expression stiffened momentarily, but he quickly regained his smile, exuding reverence.
As the awkward conversation between the two ended, Sheena and Phoebe returned just in time.
The two pairs entered the main hall one after the other.
Upon entering the venue, Phoebe was immediately led by Romello to meet several business tycoons, seemingly helping her expand her network.
Observing from afar, Sheena saw no issues and shifted her focus to mingling with business associates, seizing the opportunity to discuss collaborations.
Meanwhile, Phoebe was being led by Romello to toast with the business tycoons. After ten glasses of red wine, she began to feel a bit tipsy. When another glass was offered to her; she declined.
âRomello, I canât drink anymore. I donât want to.â
Romello did not insist, apologizing to Wayne Santos across from them before drinking the offered glass on Phoebeâs behalf.
He then smiled at Phoebe, asking, âPhoebe, what do you think of Mr. Santos? How do you find him?â
Wayne stood before them, listening intently with a confident smile.
Phoebe glanced at Wayne, who was nearing his forties and looked decent for a middleâaged man, but compared to Howard, he fell short by far too much.
She lowered her head and casually remarked, âMr. Santos seems very talented and distinguished. Heâs obviously a seasoned player in the business field.â
Pleased with her compliment, Wayne beamed.
âMs. Phoebe, you have such a keen eye. Besides these qualities, Iâm also very caring,â he said, reaching out toward Phoebeâs fair hand.
Phoebe promptly hid behind Romello, her slightly flushed face betraying caution.

âMr. Santos, Iâm already in a relationship. If my boyfriend finds out about this, he wonât be happy.â
Wayne felt embarrassed, offering a halfâhearted smile as he withdrew his hand.
Once Wayne left, Romello whispered to Phoebe, âPhoebe, who do you think is more suitable to be your future husband, Mr. Santos or Howard?â
âWhat do you mean?â Phoebe stepped back in disbelief, staring at him incredulously. âIâm already dating Howard. Why are you asking me this?â
Romello simply chuckled. âWhy are you nervous? Mr. Santos did approach me yesterday, mentioning a marriage proposal and offering 15% of the Santos Groupâs shares as part of the wedding gift. However, I havenât agreed yet. I was just simply asking you.
Phoebe did not trust him at all and distanced herself even further. âThe shares are worthless to me. If you dare to agree, Iâll cut ties with the Nicholls family forever!â
Her stance on this matter was resolute.
âIf you insist on using your sister as a pawn in your business alliance, find Gabrielle. Howard and I are already dating.â
Romello shook his head helplessly, earnestly analyzing the situation with her.
âWhile the Lawson family may be better than the Santos family, Sheena is the one in charge of the Lawson family. Even if Howard genuinely wants to marry you, he canât possibly offer you even 10% of the Lawson Groupâs shares as a wedding gift. He doesnât have that authority.â
Phoebe stared at him in shock. âWhatâs more important, shares or your sisterâs lifelong happiness? Even if Howard canât offer shares from the Lawson Group, he would never shortchange me in the wedding gifts. Are you deliberately bringing me to business gatherings to introduce me to your business partners and trade me for shares?â
