The manager then slid the folders over to Bry’s father. Both Bry and his father were bbergasted, remaining motionless as they absorbed the flood of information. Even though Bry was young, he understood that the terms were highly favorable, and his father’s reaction confirmed the positive nature of the offer.
Bry’s father nced at Hera for reassurance, though he didn’t voice it. He suspected that Hera’s connection to the Avery family was the reason for the manager’s amodating gesture. Despite knowing there was supposed to be a different heiress studying at Princeton, he couldn’t shake the belief that Hera was the genuine Avery heiress. How this hade to be was a mystery to him, but he trusted in her role and influence.
Everything that happened so far was enough proof that she was but he didn’t want to say anything about it since Hera seemed to be hiding that fact and he didn’t want to be meddlesome when she has be their benefactor since she won the equestrian race and gave up the reward to him and his family to help his younger brother and even managed to employ the renowned Doctor Everett that increase the chances of his younger brother’s surgery a sess.
Seeing Hera’s approving gaze, Bry’s father felt reassured and proceeded without hesitation. He carefully reviewed all two contracts, scrutinizing every use to ensure he understood and fulfilled his obligations. After signing the contracts, he respectfully returned them to the manager. The manager then added his signature to finalize the agreements and handed Bry’s father copies of each contract. With the paperworkplete, the manager stood up and shook Bry’s father’s hand, sealing their coboration with a firm and respectful gesture.
After the contracts were signed, Bry and his father appeared visibly exhausted but much happier than when they arrived. Seeing their mood, Hera decided to suggest a celebration for their new coboration. "How about we celebrate this new partnership?" she asked yfully, ncing at both the manager and Bry’s father. The manager, clearly eager for a celebratory feast, nodded enthusiastically, while Bry and his father, though initially hesitant and shy, managed to agree. Bry’s father gave a subtle nod, showing his willingness to join in the celebration.
Before they could leave, a pair of unwee individuals made their way to Hera’s table with an air of arrogance. Sienna, apanied by the same girl from earlier, approached with an irritating swagger. Their voices were grating as they spoke. "Wow! Not only are you flirting with Zhane, but now you’re also making a y for the Young Minister? What a disgraceful whore!"
Hera remained unfazed by the insults, having braced herself for such mockery the moment she decided to pursue the male leads. However, the same could not be said for the men at her table. Even young Bry was scowling, his expression intense and ready to confront the troublemakers, like a young wolf poised to defend its territory.
Dave turned toward the girls with a smirk, his voice dripping with mockery. "Oh?! So I am the whore then? Since I was the one who willingly went to seduce my sweetheart. I just can’t keep my paws off of her whenever she’s around." His anger was palpable masked by his yfullness, not just from their insults towards Hera but also from the venomous jealousy that seemed to consume them.
It was one thing for them to be jealous—that was their issue—but targeting his woman crossed a line.
Even the usually stern Zhane couldn’t let it go. "I must say, seeing how the Lennons raised their daughter has been quite eye-opening. With such a venomous mouth and a dirty mind, it’s no wonder you act this way. Yes, I am interested in Hera and am pursuing her, but I owe no exnation to you about any connections you think you have with me. Who do you think you are?" Zhane’s piercing gaze was cold and unyielding, his calm demeanor only emphasizing the frost in his eyes as he addressed the troublemakers.
