Chapter 237: The assistant nodded. "Understood." Just as the assistant was about to carry out Ewing's instructions, a sudden thought made him pause. "Miss Nixon has invited Jake from the Reeves family. Should I arrange for you to meet him in person? I'm not sure if Miss Nixon will receive him properly." "Did Bria actually invite Jake?" A sinking feeling washed over Ewing. He asked instinctively, "Did she invite Sarah as well?" "No, she didn't." The assistant shook his head.

Immediately Bria appeared, a crowd gathered around her, offering warm greetings and attention. Bria received their flattery with a gracious smile, soaking in the compliments.
At that moment, a servant approached Bria. "Miss, Mr. Reeves has arrived." Bria's excitement grew, and she quickened her pace toward Jake. Bria was about to call out to Jake affectionately when she noticed he was accompanied by a woman.
To Bria's surprise, the woman beside Jake was none other than Sarah, the one she had deliberately opted against inviting.
The smile on Bria's face abruptly froze. She shot a cold glance at the servant beside her. The servant felt uneasy and quickly explained, "We only gave Mr. Reeves one invitation. I have no idea how that woman got in." galhas your next chapter
