Hearing this, Yara Reagan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Lynn Yates also found it amusing and shifted her gaze.
Jas Grant’s face darkened slightly, and he glanced coolly at Keith Donovan.
Keith Donovan realized a bit late that he had misspoken, his smile turning awkward.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the seat next to Evelyn Clayton was the only one vacant. Jas Grant took a mont to look around, then walked with a restrained air of dignity to sit beside Evelyn Clayton.
The atmosphere at the table beca sowhat subtle.
It was Lynn Yates who broke the silence first, calling over a server to order a few bottles of good wine, and then said with a smile, "I rarely co to Guangdong Haifeng, so I don’t know if this wine suits your tastes. Today, I’m hosting."
"You can’t be the host; whoever gathers the group should foot the bill," Tristan Hawthorne teased with a smile. "Keith Donovan went through quite a lot to bring us together today."
Keith Donovan perked up, laughing as he looked at Evelyn Clayton, "That’s right, Evelyn, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. I finally managed to invite you. Hey, you haven’t seen Jas in a long ti either, have you?"
Evelyn Clayton was sipping her tea with a calm deanor, and upon hearing this, she glanced at Jas Grant with complete composure.
Jas Grant sat beside her, feeling the intensity of the gaze and inexplicably tensed his forearm muscles.
"Not exactly," Evelyn Clayton replied casually. "We t once before in Y Province."
Her calmness left Jas Grant feeling uneasy inside.
He couldn’t understand why, after so long, Evelyn Clayton hadn’t reacted at all, even now ntioning it so straightforwardly...
As if that night was insignificant.
"Director Grant." Evelyn Clayton suddenly spoke up, causing Jas Grant to look at her sharply.
Evelyn Clayton had a serene and courteous smile at the corner of her lips, "Back in Y Province, I owe you a favor. Whenever there’s a chance, I’ll definitely repay it."
Jas Grant was dazed for a mont, noticing Evelyn Clayton raising her wine glass, and after a while, he reacted and slowly picked up the wine glass in front of him.
The clinking of glass resulted in a crisp sound.
Everyone present looked at the two with varying expressions, unsure of what was playing out.
Keith Donovan awkwardly turned to check his phone.
After a quick glance, Keith Donovan suddenly muttered under his breath, "Oh my gosh..."
Tristan Hawthorne frowned, "What’s wrong?"
"No way..." Keith Donovan stared at Evelyn Clayton in surprise, "Evelyn, your Gem is trending again."
Evelyn Clayton remained unperturbed.
Yara Reagan couldn’t hold back and grabbed her phone. After looking through it, her face imdiately lit up with a smile, "Evelyn, the situation has turned around!"
Evelyn Clayton casually raised her glass to sip so white wine as those present, none more composed than her, couldn’t resist taking out their phones to check.
Lynn Yates was the first to put down her phone, looking thoughtfully at Evelyn Clayton. Despite her considerations and ponderings, she couldn’t hide her admiration.
"Gem’s custom fashion suspected to be shoddy; social dia influencer Little Deer’s fans reveal Gem’s CEO’s apology video,"
Keith Donovan mumbled aloud and then tapped open the video to watch.
The video was a bit blurry, with both Evelyn Clayton and Yara Reagan’s faces lightly censored, but they were still recognizable.
"...We don’t have more ti to contact Little Deer’s assistant to gradually clear up the misunderstanding, so we chose a more direct thod... The subsequent compensation will also be carried out,"
The calm and logical voice of Evelyn Clayton was heard in the video.
The video appeased a large portion of netizens, and the comnts below were no longer filled with hateful remarks, now showing sensible and clear-headed opinions from users.
