Chapter 1577
The Crescent Moon Hotel right now was extraordinarily lively.
Meanwhile, the Excalibur's party venue, by contrast, had become empty.
There were only staff left cleaning up the place.
And not to forget Phoebe, who was seated in a chair, her face livid.
Other than that, Durand and his subordinates were still at the venue. However, they did not dare toutter a word for fear of worsening Phoebe's mood.
The silence was broken by a subordinate rushing in from the outside. “Ms. Davier, Mr. Waters andMr. Herrington both regret to inform you that they had to follow their fathers' wishes and return toBrimmopolis as soon as possible,” the subordinate reported softly.
Phoebe's expression turned even grimmer after hearing that.
She knew that Donnie and Marshall were both reprimanded by their fathers and wouldn't partake inher grudge with Nathan Cross any longer.
“Those spineless good-for-nothings!” Phoebe blurted out with rage.
She lifted the glass of alcohol on the table and swallowed it in one gulp with a tilt of her head.
It was at this moment that a group of footsteps could be heard walking towards Phoebe.
Leading the group was a tall and slender man that had a head of naturally curly hair. The man woregold-rimmed glasses and looked especially elegant in an exquisitely tailored tuxedo.
“You seem like you could use somebody to drink with,” the elegant man said to Phoebe with asmile.
Phoebe turned her gaze towards this man. “Santiago!” she couldn't help but exclaim.
The man who had appeared before her was none other than Santiago Lieberman, the heir of theLieberman family.
Santiago's father, Wilfred Lieberman, was a powerful man and once a member of the GreatCabinet. He was so powerful that, in fact, he almost became the president.
However, due to a catastrophic mistake, Wilfred had been arrested, and the Lieberman family werelong past their glory days.
Nonetheless, there was a saying that a sick tiger would still be stronger than a house cat, and theLieberman family were no cats. They were still one of the most prestigious families in the nation,and the current head of the family, Santiago, had been doing everything in his power to reclaim thefamily's former glory.
Besides, Santiago indeed had power. He had been able to single-handedly reverse the Liebermanfamily's decline over the recent years and was looking to usher in a new age of Lieberman familyglory.
At that moment, Santiago gracefully sat down in the chair opposite Phoebe. “Drinking alone is nofun at all. Can I join you for a drink?” he said cheerfully.
Phoebe looked at Santiago in shock and awe.
She actually had a wedding arrangement with
Santiago when they were little.
However, due to the troubles plaguing the Lieberman family and the incarceration of Wilfred,Santiago himself called off the engagement.
Initially, the Davier family had long wanted to call off the engagement, so Santiago calling it offhimself was something that suited their wishes.
However, the Davier family still supported Santiago over the years due to acknowledging hispotential. Sure enough, Santiago did indeed start to rebuild the Lieberman family with the help ofthe Daviers.
Phoebe smiled as she looked on at Santiago's calm and confident demeanor. She picked up thebottle of alcohol that she was drinking alone earlier and personally poured a glass for him.
“Why are you here? It's been a while since I saw
you. When was the last time?” she said teasingly.
“Ten years ago!” Santiago replied with a smile. “We haven't seen each other since I went to yourplace to call off the engagement.”novelbin
“Brimmopolis isn't exactly the largest place, and we're people from the same circles. I wonder whywe're only meeting for the first time after ten years,” Phoebe sighed.
Santiago slowly picked up his glass and took a sip. “That's not true. We were from the same circlesin the past, yes. However, after what happened to my father, everything changed,” he said coldly.
“Are you still resentful of what happened? Do you blame the Davier family for agreeing to call off thewedding?” Phoebe asked.
