Dan couldn’t stop himself from teasing his friend. “Hey, Mr. Welton, are you not having fun? Or perhaps


    you’re distracted…tell me. Whichdy has caught your eye?”


    Evan threw Dan a look. There was a note of annoyance in his voice when he spoke. “None of them.”


    That seemed about right. This was the most sought–after man in Nordeny, after all. None of those


    young models in the club was going to catch


    his eye.


    Dan’s lips quirked into a smile. Heughed softly. “You’re not acting like your usual self tonight.”


    “What’s my usual self like?” Evan quirked an eyebrow at Dan. He couldn’t stop thinking about his


    conversation with Anya. A frown furrowed his brow without his notice. He raised his ss and emptied


    it in a single gulp.


    The wine burned as it went down his throat. Then, with a loud nk, Evan ced the empty ss back


    on the table.


    Damnit…he couldn’t believe that he was thinking about Anya!


    The wine didn’t seem to help at all. The frown creasing his brow deepened as an inexplicable


    frustration rose within him. He wasn’t going to let it fester and get worse though.


    He lifted his hand to his brow and started massaging his forehead. Then, he decided to change the


    subject. “Shane’s got his eye on the piece ofnd in Easton. What do you think about this?”


    Dan appeared baffled. “That’s yournd. Why is he having ideas about yournd?”


    The Browns has risen to the top and gotten themselves a ce in the Nordenic Quartet. However, they


    had amassed their wealth through dirty deals.


    They climbed to their current position through underhanded means and now, they believed they could


    take the ce of the Weltons, who has been around for longer than they had. They were asking for


    death.


    “He doesn’t fear death, I suppose,” Evan scoffed derisively. “The Browns managed to get someone


    powerful on their side recently. They think just because they’ve got someone powerful backing them


    up, they can do whatever they want.”


    Realization dawned on Dan instantly. A knowing look settled on Dan’s face. Then, it darkened. “If he’s


    got his eyes on yournd, that means he’s probably got his eyes on something of mine too.” There


    were no limits to a man’s greed.


    “Watch your back,” Evan warned his friend in a low voice. “He’s a cunning man. There’s a possibility


    he’s been nning this for a very long time. He wants our share of the pie and seize dominance over


    the four families.”


    “I know what to do,” Dan said. He appeared to be mulling over something. Momentster, the tightness


    between his brows eased away.

    “Have another drink.” Evan raised his empty ss and gestured at a waiter nearby to get him another


    ss of wine. The waiter hurried off instantly.


    He came back momentster with a bottle of wine and carefully filled Evan’s ss with what was


    obviously an expensive vintage red wine.


    The two men stared appreciatively at the crowd dancing on the dancefloor while savoring their wine.


    The club was packed with people tonight. Loud music sted from the speakers all around the dancing


    crowd.


    Evan and Dan enjoyed their drinks leisurely. Meanwhile, standing outside the nightclub was Sydney.


    She tugged at her miniskirt as she stared at the entrance. She had gotten news that Evan was in the


    club.


    She entered the club and began searching for Evan. She has to find a chance to get closer to Evan.


    She couldn’t let another woman steal him


    away from her. Her detestable sister appeared out of nowhere after a year, turning up at Welton Group


    Tower.


    Sydney couldn’t stand by and do nothing. She won’t let Anya get anywhere near Evan.
