Chapter 22
In a pearl white dress, Evelyn had long hair, cherry lips, pearly teeth, and gentle eyes.
Except for a top-class bracelet on her wrist, she wore no accessories. Even so, she was still eye-catching.
Dermot also couldn't tear his eyes off her.
Every time Evelyn appeared, he was amazed. He had made up his mind not to inquire about anything related to her, but at this moment, he couldn't help wanting to find out.
"Mr. Brooks."
Chad greeted Aidan with a broad smile, cheering in his heart, 'What a good day today! These big shots were usually hard to invite, but they all showed up.'
Aidan nodded in response. "Mr. Daniels, I came here rashly. Hope I didn't interrupt anything."
"Of course, you didn't." Chad shook his head and darted a look at Evelyn.
Evelyn was so beautiful. Chad wondered what her relationship with Aidan was and if she could be hired as a model for their magazine.
Sensing Chad's blunt gaze, Evelyn didn't cower but looked over with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Daniels."
"Nice to meet you." Chad nodded and looked at Aidan inquiringly. " Mr. Brooks, this is..."
Aidan slightly lowered his head to look at Evelyn. His eyes flashed with indulgence, and he quickly replied, "She's my sister."
"Oh! Good!" Chad was surprised and suddenly remembered Dermot's sister. There was a huge gap between the two women.
He praised, "Your sister is gorgeous. Your family has such good genes."
Aidan smiled but said nothing. Instead, he looked at the pair standing beside Chad, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Aidan thought, 'Dermot brought Cassie over?
Evelyn had made the right choice to divorce him. Such a man isn't worthy of her.'
"This is Mr. Doyle. I bet you know him," Chad introduced. He did his best to entertain these two as they both were important figures.
Aidan nodded and teased with a smirk. "Everyone in Luminae knows Mr. Doyle."
"You too. I've heard so much about you, Mr. Brooks," Dermot responded coldly.
As the two men stood facing each other, Chad somehow felt the tension.
As they reached a stalemate, Evelyn tugged at Aidan's sleeve. "Aidan, let's go sit down. The auction is about to start."
Although Evelyn knew Aidan was doing this for her, she felt it was unnecessary. Now that she had divorced Dermot, she wanted nothing more to do with him and didn't want Aidan to offend him because of her.
"Yes, it'll start right away." Chad nodded hurriedly. Sandwiched between the two bigwigs, he felt a little suffocated.
Chad led the four to the first row. After arranging seats for them, he excused himself and left as he didn't wanna be implicated.
Coincidentally, the four of them sat next to each other. Evelyn and Aidan sat down first. Cassie planned to sit next to Evelyn, but Dermot beat her to it.
Cassie bit her lip, watching the two sitting together unhappily.
Evelyn didn't expect Dermot to sit next to her, so she subconsciously moved toward Aidan to distance herself from him.
She didn't wanna have anything to do with Dermot. Besides, what he did to the Kite Group had only intensified her resentment.
Dermot was annoyed by Evelyn's actions. 'Did she do that on purpose?' he thought angrily.
