Chapter 531 An Unknown Meet-up I was nervous and glanced at Ivanna for support. Surprisingly, she met Trinity's gaze with calm composure.
"Ms. Trinity, there's no need to be so aggressive. This isn't like you. I thought your demeanor would be more refined, but I overestimated you. Your behavior can only be described in one word—inferior." Ivanna's boldness took me aback. I was worried things might get out of hand.
I glanced at Jared, who remained as composed as ever.
"So?" Trinity's tone turned icy.
"So, it doesn't matter who speaks. Mr,
Jared seems to be in high spirits!" Ivanna addressed Jared directly for the first time, repeating herself deliberately. Then she casually added, "We won't disturb you any longer." With that, she reached out to take my arm and turned to leave.
As we walked away, she tossed a parting remark to Trinity, "Ms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTrinity, broaden your horizons a bit.
Don't resort to common tricks!" Suddenly, I reassessed Ivanna. She was proving to be more formidable than I had thought. I couldn't help but feel sympathy for Jared.
As soon as we stepped into the central hall, we came face-to-face with Matthew and Melanie hanging onto his arm. I almost let out a curse, What a
small world it was.
Matthew's face lit up with unrestrained joy. His eyes gleamed when he spotted us. "Chloe, Ivanna!" Ivanna shot him an impatient look and scoffed. "From now on, keep your distance when we meet. Just looking at you irritates me." Melanie rolled her eyes. "I couldn't agree more!" Ivanna promptly turned to glare at her.
"Are you looking to start something?" Matthew quickly interjected, "Ivanna, mind your words!" Then he looked at me. ""Chlo, thank you for looking after my mom. It's been a busy period, and I haven't had the | 2 Bm
chance to attend to her, But I'll be taking her back in a few days, I'm finally done with the hustle. This event has been quite fruitful!" He couldn't contain his joy. I knew exactly what he was referring to. This news was enough to let him boast.
"Then pick her up. She's your mother, after all," I replied calmly.
I knew he was waiting for me to ask about his profits, but I chose not to.
This must have frustrated him.
Sure enough, seeing that I didn't ask, he grew increasingly eager. ''Chlo, aren't you going to ask me how the negotiations went?" I looked at him with mild indifference.
"Why should I care?" Then I turned and walked away with
wy "VY BUNUS Ivanna.
Ivanna looked at me, puzzled. She whispered, "What's going on? He looks so pleased with himself." I'shot Ivanna a glance. "He's getting his ego boosted." Ivanna suddenly understood my intentions. "Are you putting the plan into action?" "Hush!" I cautioned Ivanna, who was getting a bit too excited.
Just then, a waiter holding a tray approached us. "May I ask which one of you is Ms. Chloe?" I looked at him. "That's me. What's the matter?" "A young lady is requesting your presence on the fourth floor in the
Wy TIVO BUNUS central lounge." He then glanced at Ivanna. "She said she'd like to speak with you alone." "'She wants to talk to me alone?" | repeated.

I speculated about who could be looking for me. It must be Stella.
Perhaps she wanted to say something she hadn't managed to before.
I was sure it was a secret I wasn't aware of, and if true, I was curious.
I looked at Ivanna. "Wait here for me.
I'll be back soon." "Is that alright?" Ivanna asked with some concern. "Why don't accompany you? I'll wait for you on the
third floor." I recalled Grayson's war ning not to leave their sight. I nodded.
"Alright." Ivanna took my hand and gestured.
"Let's head back. I'll show you the way." We turned and headed toward the central lounge on the third floor. Most of the ship's occupants gathered in the third floor's main hall.
On the fourth floor, there were even fewer people. I looked around and saw only two couples, lost in kisses. I headed towards the deck.
There wasn't a soul on the deck. Where could this person be? Suddenly, I heard rapid footsteps behind me. I turned around, but before
