Chapter 494:
Although Brinley maintained a composed expression, her heart was racing. She feigned calmness as she responded, “I’m not sure. Perhaps he is thinking about something p>
Despite her words, Brinley knew exactly what was troubling Richard.
His unhappiness stemmed largely from the relationship between Jenessa and Ryan.
Today, however, was Nadine’s birthday party, which took center stage.
The small matter of Richard’s mood quickly faded as the conversation turned with keen interest to the Haynes family.
“So, what prompted Nadine to throw a birthday party this year? She has never been one for these lively gatherings p>
“Yeah, I have heard Nadine isn’t fond of all the fuss that comes with parties p>
“Do you think she has something big to announce today p>
After a moment of contemplation, someone said, “The top priority for the Haynes family right now is Ryan’s marriage. What else could it possibly be p>
“That actually makes sense. Maybe they are going to announce Ryan’s marriage publicly today p>
“By the way, wasn’t it just recently that Ryan revealed his relationship with Jenessa Wright to the media? Could this be their formal introduction to high society p>
“You know, I think Ryan and Jenessa make a great match. Despite setbacks in her family, she has made a name for herself as a renowned designer. That’s quite impressive p>
Evelyn appeared visibly upset upon hearing this.
Every story starts at; com
She quickly interjected, “What on earth are you talking about? Jenessa wasn’t even present at today’s party and has no right to be here. Moreover, I heard they’ve been divorced for quite some time now! They have no connection anymore p>
“What? Are you aware of what you just said p>
Everyone present was stunned by Evelyn’s words.
Frowning, someone couldn’t help but question, “If they’ve been divorced long ago as you claim, then why hasn’t Ryan ever mentioned it? Are you trying to insinuate that he was forced to say that in front of the media that day? That can’t be possible p>
The idea that Ryan could be forced to say something against his will was simply unbelievable.
For a moment, everyone doubted the truth in Evelyn’s words.
Shaking her head, Evelyn replied confidently, “Shouldn’t it be obvious? Ryan is clearly trying to protect his image as the CEO of the WorldLink Group. He knows very well that if the news of a divorce spreads, the reputation of the Haynes family will be negatively affected. From the look of things, I think Nadine Haynes is going to clarify everything today at her birthday party p>
Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly in suspicion.
“Didn’t you just claim that Ryan and Nadine are afraid that such news will affect the company’s image if the public gets wind of it?” someone asked.
Glaring at the person who had asked the question, Evelyn replied firmly, “Just wait and see how things play out p>
At that moment, a staff member climbed up to the stage and announced the beginning of the party.
Melodious music began to flow from the speakers, and the spotlights were directed to the stairs on the second floor.
