“I can’t believe she snagged this role by sleeping with a man! I really misjudged her!”
Eliana, clinging to Declan’s arm, observed, “Miss Moore is quite the networker. She’s managed to build such connections in Hoijery, even after parting ways with Declan.”
Declan had noticed how Hannah was swarmed by business tycoons. He was seething with jealousy.
People were only drawn to beautiful women! They had bypassed him, focusing instead on handing their business cards to Hannah, who graciously accepted each one.
The thought that Hannah was here to flirt enraged Declan.
“Ouch, Declan, you’re hurting me!”
Snapping back to reality, Declan responded frostily, “I’m going to go mingle. Find a seat.”
Eliana sneered inwardly, “In truth, he isn’t interested in socializing. He just wants to rekindle things with Hannah.”
Eliana had lost all concern. It was better for her to find someone superior to Declan at this gathering.
Meanwhile, Sadie’s gaze never left Hannah. How she envied her!
“Miss Moore, it’s been a while,” said a voice behind Hannah.
As Hannah concluded her mingling, she turned to find Layne.
“Mr. Cartwright, you’re here too?”
“This gathering is a hotspot for influential people. I’m scouting for potentially worthwhile ventures.”
Lifting her glass, Hannah quipped, “Then Mr. Cartwright, perhaps you should think about teaming up with me in the future.”
“Of course.” Layne raised his glass and clinked it against Hannah’s.
“If I were looking to establish a joint project, then I would naturally prefer to do business with you, Miss Moore.”
“What a huge business deal, Miss Moore. Do you think you can collaborate with us as well?” Declan had appeared out of nowhere and sidled up next to the two with a fake smile on his face.
Hannah instantly felt sick at the sight of his face, and her own smile faded away.
Layne, on the other hand, was able to keep his courteous expression despite his surprise.

“Mr. Edwards! I knew that the Edwards Group is neck deep in Valmere’s real estate industry, but I haven’t heard that you were branching out to a different line of business. When did you develop an interest in the Internet industry?”
Declan was stunned to be suddenly put on the spot. He cleared his throat before saying, “Well, everyone knows that we need some diversity if we are to progress. We are old friends, aren’t we?
Please keep the Edwards Group in mind.”
“Old friends?” Layne repeated, one eyebrow raised as he looked Declan up and down.
