“Let’s go.”

Henry led Eliza down the stairs.

There weren’t many people around, but if Matteo were to come back, explaining things would definitely be

a hassle.

Eliza followed Henry to the lower floor.

Do you know Matteo well?” she asked.

Henry said, “Anyone from the Hartwell family is trouble, not because they’re incredibly powerful, but because too many interests are tied to them. Mess with one Hartwell, and by the next day, you’ll have a whole line of people making your life hell. Matteo’s the one who’s always cleaning up the Hartwell family’s messes. So, keep your distance.”

Hearing Henry’s warning, Eliza nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I’m not stupid. I’m not going to walk into danger willingly.”

You may not walk into danger willingly, but that doesn’t mean danger won’t come looking for you.”

Earlier, Henry had noticed Matteo glance sideways at Eliza as he entered the auditorium.

His instincts told him Matteo hadn’t shown up tonight just because of Naomi,

There had to be something more behind it.

Right then, Henry’s phone started ringing. He glanced at the screen–it was his assistant calling.

Henry answered. After a brief exchange, his brows furrowed.

I’ve got something to take care of. Tonight’s welcome party is a great opportunity to build connections. Even if I’m not by your side, plenty of people will still want your contact info.”

“Go on. I’ll be fine here.”

At that, Henry reached out and gently ruffled Eliza’s hair. “Take care of yourself.”

Downstairs had become lively again.

Naomi, who had been stirring up drama just moments ago, had slipped away without anyone noticing.

Eliza didn’t see Matteo anywhere either. Maybe the two of them had left together–wouldn’t be surprising.

Even better if they left. Saves me from spending the night on edge.

“Ms. Rivers.”

A voice called out from behind her.

Eliza turned and saw it was Emma–the same Emma who had just been at odds with Naomi.

“Emma?”

“Ms. Rivers, that sister of yours sure is arrogant. Haven’t you ever thought about teaching her a lesson? She clearly has no idea how the world works.”

Every word out of Emma’s mouth dripped with sarcasm.

Eliza replied coolly. Naomi is Naomi. I’m me. Her business has nothing to do with me–we’re not even real sisters. If you’re looking to settle scores, Emma, you’ve come to the wrong person.”

Emma said. “I’m not trying to be unreasonable, but your sister went too far. She slept with my fiance. flaunted it in my face, and made me a laughingstock. I won’t let that go

Naomi was definitely out of line. If you want to deal with her. I have no objections. Go ahead”

Having someone else deal with Naomi Eliza was more than happy to sit back and watch

Emma frowned at Eliza’s lack of concern. “What kind of sister are you?”

Eliza stayed silent.

Emma pressed. “So no matter what I do to Naomi, you won’t interfere?”

“That’s right. I won’t interfere. And neither will the Sue family. So go ahead, Emma. No one’s coming after You for it.

That was exactly what Emma needed to hear

She couldn’t afford to provoke Eliza, so she had to ask her directly.

As long as Eliza said she didn’t care, Naomi was fair game.

After Emma walked away, Eliza turned around, only to come face–to–face with Matteo. Her heart sank.

She’d been searching for him earlier and hadn’t seen a trace. Why was he suddenly here?

“Sorry, Mr. Matteo. I just stepped out for some air.”
