Chapter 410
Gerard asked, "Are you coming along?"
Calvert replied, "Wherever Vespera goes, | go."
Gerard was speechless for a moment before responding, "Alright. Let's go, then."
Vespera, Gerard, and Calvert all piled into the car. Gerard passed the party address to Calvert, who was in the
driver's seat. Then, the car left the villa. Not long after, Dominic went out as well.
The party was held at a club. The atmosphere was very lively, but Vespera felt drained. On any other night, she
would have effortlessly networked with colleagues from the branch office.
However, something felt off, though. It was as if her whole body was rejecting the atmosphere. She grabbed a
drink and exchanged a few words here and there, then slowly drifted toward a corner. Even there, several male
colleagues stopped by to chat with her.
As Vespera stood still with a glass in hand, she looked stunning. Her facial features were exquisite, and her
simple black dress was fashionable. The way she appeared distant made her even more captivating.
At first, she gave polite responses, but after a while, the conversations started to wear on her. The conversations
got on her nerves, and her breathing quickened as a low burn spread in her stomach.
Then ca particularly chatty male colleague who talked continuously for ten minutes and suddenly laughed
loudly.

She then left for the restroom. In the restroom, she tried to breathe through the growing discomfort.
By the tVespera cout of the restroom, she went straight to grab sfood. She picked up sfood
and grabbed a bottle of red wine. After that, she slipped out onto an empty balcony.
Meanwhile, Gerard was still inside, deep in conversation with a woman with blonde hair. So, Vespera couldn't tell
him she wanted to leave early.
Sitting alone, Vespera alternated sips of wine with bites of ham. Unbeknownst to her, Calvert was sneakily
snapping pictures of her like a paparazzi. He sent all the pictures to Dominic.
Dominic, who was in the middle of discussing business, kept receiving notifications on his phone. There were
pictures of Vespera chatting with male colleagues, disappearing into the restroom, and sitting alone on the
balcony, drinking wine and eating.
Dominic thought, "Isn't it freezing out there?"
Across the table, a man spoke up, "Mr. Reid, you seem rather well-informed." The man, in his early fifties, was
from Regalia and was the Earl of Norsen. Dominic looked up and responded, "It caught my interest after | looked
into it." The Earl of Norsen replied, "Why take such a roundabout route then? With your connections and status, |
imagine doors open quite easily for you."
Dominic smiled calmly and said, "Londarion is the headquarters. Besides, | prefer a little mystery."
The Earl of Norsen nodded and said, "There's a networking event this Sunday. It'll be carried for two days. It's for
people who want to get in. Someone will reach out to you soon."
Dominic replied, "Alright, thank you very much."
After the conversation ended, Dominic rose from his seat and bade farewell.
Back at the party, Vespera was still sipping wine with bites of ham. She didn't know that she had drunk more
than she could tolerate. She slouched over the small table, motionless.

"No," answered Vespera, still waving her hand.
Then, out of nowhere, Vespera smacked Dominic's mouth and covered it. She said, "It's for you, foxy. Eat it! You
love meat."
