Chapter 565

Author: Deerstream
Christian reached his car, but instead of getting in right away, he quietly lit a cigarette.

As the smoke rose into the air, he suddenly squinted before replying to Nancy over the phone, "I'm heading to the office."

Nancy was taken aback by his response. After a brief silence, she said, "Chris, Yvonne is running a fever again."

Christian frowned, a deep sense of worry gnawing at him. He told Nancy, "I'll have Cecilia go over and check on her."

There was a long silence on Nancy's end.

I agree - her walking away from Quentin was weak AF. Even if she doesn’t like him she’s never acknowledged how much he’s done for her and keeps using pathetic excuses why she has to placate Christian

Can you please stop making Talia so weak. She just lets him do whatever he wants & walk all over her. Carrying her to bed, kissing her forehead & she just lets it happen??? Tougher her up….

    William played peacemaker. After a round of toasts, Millie stopped talking.Julian didn't say much either. Once he sat back down, he kept his head down, focused on his phone.William glanced over to see what he was doing, but Julian hid his phone against his chest and scoffed. "Eat your food. Why are you watching me text the ladies?"Although Julian sounded confident, William sensed that he was hiding something.

    Before Margaret could refuse, Millie turned to Eliza and called out loudly, "Eliza, you must be thrilled to have me sit next to you, right?"Eliza didn't know whether to smile or not, especially with everyone's eyes on her.Left with no choice, she forced a smile. "Of course. Come sit. I'd be delighted to have you next to me."Millie took a seat anyway, ignoring Eliza's reluctance. She had come uninvited that night with no good intentions.If the people who had looked down on her and bullied her daughter-in-law were miserable, then she was happy.After Millie sat, Margaret went to greet other guests, but before turning away, she shot Eliza a meaningful look. Eliza caught Margaret's signal and nodded.Millie noticed their exchange. Once the meal began, Eliza spoke casually. "Millie, you look beautiful today.
