Chapter 304
Ross was arrogantly berating Evelyn Roland when he suddenly caught sight of the imposing figure at the doorway.
His pupils constricted sharply.
Wasn't that General Julian Roland from the International Military?
Ross immediately plastered on an obsequious smile and hurried forward. "General Roland, what a pleasant surprise! To what do we owe—"
Before he could finish, Julian strode past him without a glance.
Ross's smile froze.
He turned stiffly, watching as Julian walked straight toward Evelyn.
Wait...
Julian Roland... Evelyn Roland...
A cold sweat drenched Ross's back as realization struck.
Evelyn's tense shoulders finally relaxed at the sight of her brother.
"Julian—"
He raised a hand to silence her. "I already know everything."
Those simple words made Evelyn's nose sting.
The room fell deathly silent.
Everyone held their breath.
Ross forced himself forward, his face twitching. "W-we were just handling Miss Roland's situation—"
Julian finally spared him a glacial glance. "My sister's affairs are none of your concern."
"Of course! Of course!" Ross bobbed his head. "Whatever Miss Roland decides!"
Evelyn stepped forward, her voice cool and measured.
"I'll get to the bottom of this within three days."
Julian took his place beside her, his sharp gaze sweeping the room.
"If anyone dares spread rumors in the meantime..."
The unspoken threat was more effective than any words.
Ross was drowning in regret.
He studied the siblings covertly, scrambling for a way to salvage the situation.
Evelyn caught his expression, a flicker of mockery in her eyes.
This so-called master sommelier was nothing special after all.
