Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time (Charlene and Thorne) novel Chapter 913

Maximilian offered zero reaction to her arrival.

Assuming they hadn't met, the other guests in the room immediately stepped in to make introductions.

Playing along, Vesta greeted him exactly as she had the first time they crossed paths. "Hello, Mr. Croft."

Maximilian gave a curt nod.

Once Vesta and Henley took their seats, a guest struck up a conversation. "I heard a little about the situation between The Hawkins Group and Axiom Flux. Have you guys filed an appeal yet?"

Henley replied smoothly. "We have. Thank you for asking, Mr. Yates."

Since the moment Vesta walked in, Maximilian had maintained an aloof demeanor, casually scrolling and typing on his phone as if entirely disinterested in the room's chatter.

But the mention of the lawsuit caught his attention. He looked up from his screen, his sharp gaze landing directly on Vesta.

She caught his stare and froze for a second.

The Croft Family was a dominating force, and Mr. Yates was undoubtedly thrilled to have successfully invited someone of Maximilian's caliber.

But Mr. Yates had only invited Vesta and Henley because of their supposed connection to Thorne.

Oblivious to Maximilian's sudden interest, Mr. Yates smiled at Vesta. "I heard Mr. Henderson hasn't been too busy lately. Why didn't you invite him to come along?"

Vesta pulled her gaze away from Maximilian, maintaining a perfectly composed expression. "He had other matters to attend to."

Mr. Yates couldn't hide his disappointment.

But he laughed it off and smoothly changed the subject.

Vesta noticed Maximilian drop his gaze back to his phone, resuming his quiet typing.
