Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041

Chapter 1041 After saying goodbye to Evelyn, Cedric organized a gathering at Chase’s request, inviting everyone who had once appeared in court.

Everyone, except for Hailey In the courtroom, Cedric and Hailey were seated close to each other, yet they never shared a glance. Even when they accidentally brushed against each other while leaving the courthouse, they simply murmured polite sorrys before parting ways.

Given their current circumstances, everyone understood why Cedric didn’t invite Hailey. However, Chase suspected that it might not sit well with Cedric He raised his glass, clinking it against Cedric’s, Just letting it go like that?”

Drinking. Cedric replied. “I’ve tried my best, I’m tired.”

He was tired, tired of pursuing Hailey. There was no point anymore, and things were quite alright as they were.

Just as Chase was about to offer further words of encouragement, he noticed Sigrid walking through the door, a glimmer lighting up his eyes.

However, as soon as he spotted Peterson Sharp trailing behind her, that spark quickly faded Following his gaze towards the door, Cedric spotted Peterson and frowned, “Why did he come along?

He had warned Sigrid not to invite others to Mr. Chase’s dinner, but she didn’t listen.

Sigrid arrived with Peterson and turned to Bernard, “You don’t mind one extra person, do you?”

Bernard didn’t mind, but Eleanor....

He turned his head, but Eleanor was nowhere to be seen. He was surprised.

Pearce, on the other hand, had a smug smile on his face. He stood up and reached out to Peterson, Remember me?”

The Sharp family was the client for the last project Emilia took on Pearce, who wanted to visit the construction site, had naturally met him.

Peterson had a good memory. When he saw Pearce, he shook his hand politely. “Emilia’s chief designer.”

His father had met Emilia once and was very interested in her. It took him a long time to arrange a meeting with her to design a house for the family.

Seeing that Peterson still remembered him, Pearce’s smile grew even wider, “Looks like my face is quite memorable, otherwise a big shot like you would definitely forget”

With a stiff smile on his face, Peterson forced a laugh, “Indeed, you’re quite memorable. I remembered you the moment I saw you.”

He had never met someone who sought balance even in laughter. How could he forget?

Upon receiving the compliment, Pearce was overjoyed, “Come, sit here, let’s have a drink.”

Before Peterson could even greet Bernard, he was enthusiastically pulled down by Pearce.

Just as Pearce sat down, he saw Bernard glaring at him coldly and jumped in fright, “Mr. Laurence, why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t steal your lady, she just went to the bathroom...”

When Peterson walked in, Eleanor quickly ran into the bathroom to avoid being seen by him. This way, her true identity wouldn’t be revealed when she visited his construction site later.

Bernard obviously knew she was hiding. He didn’t like Pearce’s obsequiousness, so he gave him a cold glance before nodding at Sigrid.

Since Pearce had already made him sit down, he could only nod, but....

Bernard’s cold eyes glanced at Chase across the table.

Was he trying to take this opportunity to talk to Sigrid more?

Unfortunately, the clever Sigrid didn’t even want to give him that chance...

After sitting next to Peterson, Sigrid, without hesitation, raised her glass to Bernard, “Bernard, here’s to you and Eleanor winning the lawsuit.”

Then, she turned to Nina, who was sitting next to George, busy devouring a lobster, “And Serenina, congratulations on becoming a member of Bernard’s family.”

Nina looked up, her greasy little face smiling at Sigrid, “Not only am I part of Bernard’s family, I’m also a member of all of your big family...”

Nina’s innocent voice warmed Sigrid’s heart, “You’re absolutely right.”
