Chapter 255

Pearl’s lips twitched, wondering how he came to that conclusion.

“No, don’t worry. It’s not a blind date.” She already had someone ready for him.

Mobius had received such a generous gift from Richard the night before that, even if he felt something

was amiss, he went along willingly. Following Pearl’s suggestion, he dressed up a bit, wearing a gray

polo t-shirt and a spritz of cologne that instantly improved his appearance.

Mobius was naturally good-looking, and his clothes enhanced his appeal.

Pearl was pleased with his appearance and led him, along with Richard, to Sanders Residence. At the

doorstep, Mobius suddenly felt stressed when he realized their destination.

He looked at Pearl and grumbled, “Why are we here?”

Pearl smiled. “It’s Esther’s birthday, and you’re friends with her brother. It wouldn’t kill you to come.”

“But you know I don’t have a good relationship with her. You’re throwing me under the bus.”

“Mister Mobius, we’re here already. If you’re going to throw a tantrum, I might just slap you in front of all

these people.” Although Pearl was smiling, her words were ice-cold.

Mobius asked for help from Richard with his eyes, but Richard just glanced at him. Knowing he was

trapped, he decided to stop arguing.

Esther waited at the door for them and was delighted to see Mobius. “You came, Mobius.”

Mobius grunted, recalling her troublesome boyfriend, and ignored her. “You have a boyfriend now, so

we should keep our distance.” He took a step back and left a huge gap between them.

Esther was confused. “What boyfriend?” Then she remembered something and burst into laughter.

“You mean Christian? He’s

Before she could finish, a man in black jeans playfully put an arm around her neck and smiled. “Esther,

what are you doing here? I thought I’d lost you.”

Esther rolled her eyes at him. “Christian, can you be more gentle? It feels like you’re trying to strangle

me.”

“I would never hurt you. I’m much gentler than that.”

They bantered back and forth, leaving Mobius feeling like a third wheel. Without a word, he walked into

the house with

Richard.

Pearl followed them, saw the two embracing, and remembered that Mobius wasn’t aware of their true

relationship. She smirked. “Esther, if you really have feelings for Mobius, you shouldn’t be doing that.”

Esther froze. “He’s my cousin. Mobius just doesn’t know it yet. I’ll tell him.”

Pearl glanced at Mobius’s retreating back and shook her head. “He seems a bit shaken. You should tell

him sooner rather than later.”

Esther pouted. “I want to, but I keep missing the right moment, and I don’t know why.”

Something dark flashed across Christian’s eyes. He smiled and messed up Esther’s hair. “Let’s go

inside. The party is starting.”

Esther nodded and walked in.

The Sanders was well-known in Ancard, with ancestors who had old-money wealth. Although Sophia’s

dad was a distant relative of the family, their newfound affluence and status couldn’t compare to the

Sanders’. This meant that Esther’s social status far exceeded Sophia’s.

Since this was Esther’s coming-of-age ceremony, the party was extravagantly grand.

Pearl walked casually through the crowd and greeted every familiar face she saw. When she grew

weary, she found a quiet

cornet, removed her heels, and took a brief rest. It was then that a familiar face approached her.
