Chapter 114: Arranging to Meet Kian

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Arranging to Meet Kian

But in the next second, Evan Shelby’s eyes narrowed, his gaze condescending and full of contempt as he looked at Mason Everett, who was blocking his path.

"Mason Everett? Who the hell is that?"

Hearing this, the expression on Mason Everett’s face froze, making him look utterly ridiculous.

In truth, Evan Shelby knew the name Mason Everett. He knew he was Sienna Everett’s older brother, but he couldn’t stand how Mason used to bully Sienna, so he deliberately insulted him.

Mason Everett looked mortified. On second thought, Evan Shelby was the founder of G.Y. and rarely came to Celestria, so it was normal that he didn’t recognize him. He quickly looked over at Shannon Everett beside him.

Receiving Mason’s signal, Shannon gave a slight nod. Then, she looked at the assistant beside Evan Shelby and said with a gentle smile, "Don, I contacted you yesterday. Mr. Shelby is arriving in Celestria today, and we’d like to play host. Would that be convenient?"

The assistant leaned in and whispered into Evan Shelby’s ear, "Boss, that lady is Shannon Everett."

Evan Shelby frowned. "Shannon Everett?"

This time, he genuinely didn’t know who Shannon Everett was.

The assistant lowered his voice. "She’s a university classmate of mine. She said she wanted to connect with you."

Evan Shelby had a good relationship with his assistant. Hearing this, he turned his gaze toward Shannon.

A flash of delight appeared in Shannon’s eyes.

Seeing this, Mason grew excited too. ’Evan Shelby’s attitude toward Shannon is different!’

’Shannon really is capable! She managed to get Evan Shelby’s attention!’

Shannon seized the opportunity to make an introduction. "Mr. Shelby, Mason Everett is my older brother. We’d like to invite you for a simple meal. We won’t take up much of your time."

As soon as Evan Shelby heard this, the warmth on his face vanished, replaced by a cold sneer.

’So she’s Mason Everett’s sister.’

’Another person who bullied Sienna Everett.’

’She’s no good either!’

Mason Everett didn’t know why Evan Shelby’s expression had suddenly changed.

Shannon didn’t understand what had happened either. ’Did I say something wrong?’

Mason Everett couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Shelby, our Everett Family’s fashion brand was delisted by the Valenti Fashion Association a few days ago. Could you tell us the reason?"

The mockery in Evan Shelby’s eyes deepened. "Your Everett Family has a second-rate brand. You got ridiculously lucky just to join the association in the first place. Isn’t it perfectly normal to be delisted now?"

The surrounding reporters exchanged glances when they heard this exchange.

’And here I thought Shannon Everett knew Evan Shelby’s assistant and could actually connect with him. Looks like that’s not the case at all!’

Shannon Everett bit her lip in humiliation and took a step forward. "Mr. Shelby, we don’t mean to take up your time. We just hope we can sit down and have a proper talk with you."

Having been held up here this whole time, Evan Shelby’s expression grew even colder.

Especially when he saw Sienna Everett in the distance, who seemed to be getting impatient waiting for him.

「A short distance away.」

Sienna Everett saw Evan Shelby still stopped at the exit and let out an impatient yawn.

Seeing this, Evan Shelby immediately broke into a run toward her.

’He couldn’t let Sienna Everett get anxious waiting!’

The moment Evan started running, his assistant took off after him.

The surrounding reporters were stunned when they saw this.

According to the rumors, Evan Shelby was a descendant of nobility and placed great importance on etiquette. Why was he running around in a hurry in public?

Mason Everett’s brows were tightly furrowed.

Shannon Everett tried to console him. "Brother, don’t worry. We’ll definitely get to meet Kian. Mr. Shelby must have had something important to do, which is why he was in such a hurry to leave. The fact that we got to talk to him for so long today is already a great start."

Mason Everett nodded. It was true. Just being able to speak with Evan Shelby for that long was a rare opportunity.

However, midway through his nod, Mason stopped, stiff and mechanical. His eyes were fixed on a certain direction, filled with shock and astonishment.

"Brother, what’s wrong?"

Confused, Shannon followed Mason’s gaze and froze as well.

Evan Shelby, who had just run off in a hurry, was actually running toward Sienna Everett!

Shannon nearly ground her teeth to dust. She clung to a sliver of hope. ’Evan Shelby is just passing by Sienna Everett. Yes, he’s just passing by.’

However, the next second, Evan Shelby ran up to Sienna Everett and stopped, a charming and handsome smile on his face. He opened his arms, wanting to give Sienna a big hug, but she held up a hand in disgust, flatly refusing his hug.

Mason Everett: "!!!"

Shannon Everett: "!!!"

The surrounding reporters were all dumbfounded by the scene.

’Evan Shelby disregarded all etiquette and ran off in a hurry... to find Sienna Everett?’

’Wait. Sienna Everett said she was here to pick someone up at the airport. Was she picking up... Evan Shelby, the founder of G.Y.?!’

’Holy shit, how do those two know each other?!’

The reporters’ keen noses smelled a big story. They immediately swarmed forward, all talking at once:

"Sienna Everett, what is your relationship with Evan Shelby, the founder of G.Y.?"

"You two seem very close. Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Sienna Everett, are you and Evan Shelby friends or lovers?"

Hearing these gossipy questions, Evan Shelby raised an eyebrow, his sapphire-blue eyes as captivating as the ocean. "Sienna Everett is, of course... my goddess!"

As soon as he said it, the surrounding reporters were once again stunned.

After all, the family Evan Shelby belonged to was one of the ten most distinguished and ancient families in Elysia, and he himself was the founder of the globally renowned luxury brand G.Y.

And he was actually calling Sienna Everett his goddess!

This... this...

"So, the Evan Shelby that Shannon and Mason Everett were trying so desperately to get close to is actually Sienna Everett’s friend?"

"A minute ago, Shannon Everett said she knew Evan Shelby’s assistant, and I thought her network was pretty impressive. But compared to Sienna Everett, it’s nothing at all!"

"Sienna Everett, how did you and Evan Shelby meet? Would you care to share?"

Hearing the word "goddess," Sienna Everett shot a warning glance at Evan Shelby.

Evan Shelby immediately and agreeably corrected himself. "Alright, alright. Not my goddess, just my friend. Is that okay?"

His compliant demeanor was a complete one-eighty from the cold indifference he had shown Mason and Shannon Everett just moments before.

The reporters: "..."

’Great. There it is again. The relationship between these two is definitely not ordinary!’

It wasn’t until Sienna Everett and Evan Shelby had left the airport that Mason Everett snapped out of his astonishment, his eyes fixed on the direction they had gone.

’The Evan Shelby he had tried so hard to curry favor with was that subservient and eager to please with Sienna Everett?!’

’How did that wretched girl Sienna Everett get to know Evan Shelby!’

The scene between Sienna Everett and Evan Shelby was posted online by the reporters, instantly sparking a wave of gossip among netizens.

Could it be that Sienna Everett used to work at G.Y., and that’s how she knew Evan Shelby?

...

Sienna Everett drove Evan Shelby and his assistant to a villa.

After they went inside, Sienna Everett said to Evan Shelby, "If you stayed at a hotel, it would be inconvenient for me to visit you, and it would be hard to explain if reporters took our picture. This villa happens to be empty, so you guys can stay here for now."

Evan Shelby understood immediately. "Is this villa in your name?"

Sienna Everett nodded. "I already had someone clean it. If you’re missing anything, we can just buy it."

Evan Shelby immediately lunged forward, trying to hug her again. "It’s been so long, let me just give you a hug..."

Sienna Everett threw out an arm, her expression serious as she warned, "Stay right there. Don’t come any closer."

Evan Shelby: "..."

’So hurtful.’

Sienna Everett was about to take Evan Shelby to get something to eat when her phone let out a DING, signaling a new email.

Sienna Everett casually opened it. After reading, a bewitching smile lifted the corners of her rosy lips.

But to Evan Shelby, that smile looked dangerous no matter how he looked at it.

"What’s the email?" Evan Shelby asked.

Sienna Everett held the phone up for him to see, her tone casual. "Someone who doesn’t know their own limits wants to meet with Kian."
