“Chris, | heard that your Uncle Wyatt and the others have arrived. Go. out and greet them. We must show hospitality to our


    guests and not neglect our friends,” urged Lance, intentionally speaking loudly enough for both the Hoffmans and Salvadors to


    hear.


    His words implied that, apart from the Thompsons, none of the other


    guests were deserving of the lversons’ courtesy.


    He did not even consider that the other two families were worth his


    attention.


    Both Gregory and Logan’s expressions darkened, creating a tense and


    awkward situation.


    “Yes, Dad.”


    Christopher turned to the door and adjusted his sses. His fair and


    delicate face took on a grim and somber expression.


    He had also learned that Be and Justin had entered the event


    together, which put Zoe in an embarrassing situation.


    Perhaps during the horse racing event, Be and Justin would eve


    take the opportunity to reconcile publicly.


    If that were to happen, things would be quite troublesome.


    Christopher could not allow such a thing to ur, especially not on


    such an important asion!


    As he came to a secluded corridor, Christopher stood with his back to

    The other end of the phone immediately answered, “Yes, Mr. lverson?”


    “Is everything sorted with the media?” Christopher’s pale lips parted


    slightly with a cold, indifferent tone.


    “It''s all set. The press releases are ready, too. Once you give the green light, all major media outlets and social tforms


    nationwide will


    announce the news.”


    “Great.”


    and


    Christopher’s eyes narrowed with satisfaction as he smirked. “Later on, we''ll release news suggesting tension between the


    Salvadors the Thompsons, while highlighting the close ties between the


    Iversons and the Hoffmans, hinting at potential coboration. I''ve


    already arranged for covert photography to support this narrative.”


    “Understood! But... Isn’t this a bit rushed?” Taylor voiced his concern.


    “You know how things are on the red carpet. If we don’t act now, it''ll


    be toote. ‘I can’t just stand there and watch that jerk snatch Be


    away.”


    Christopher recalled the intimate hand-holding scene between Bel


    and Justin. The bitterness fueled his anger, and his clenched fists


    trembled with intensity. “That''s why I need to take the initiative. Their


    rtionship was never meant to see the light of day. If that’s theText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    case, it should remain concealed forever.”


    Meanwhile, Logan nced at his watch, his expression clouded.


    What''s taking so long? Why isn’t Ryan here yet? Give him a call and ask him to hurry up.”


    “Alright, Dad.” ire felt a sense of urgency and promptly dialed his phone.


    “Where’s Zoe? Where did she go? The older these siblings get, the
