Chapter 678:
“Quit your fantasies!” Darwin cut her off abruptly. With those words, he turned and walked away.
“Darwin! Darwin!” Minna called out, attempting to follow him, but Macie swiftly grasped her arm.
“Think this through, Minna! You shouldn’t go out there! What will the other guests think if they see you running after Darwin? Just calm down.” Macie then ushered Minna back into the lounge and shut the door behind them.
Macie was indifferent to Minna’s personal dramas. By now, she only harbored resentment toward her. Still, Rhys had explicitly instructed her to monitor Minna closely today to prevent any incidents, warning that she would be accountable for any mishaps. Thus, Macie was compelled to keep a vigilant watch over Minna.
As Darwin entered the banquet hall, he found the guests already settled in. He looked around the room, and his eyes eventually settled on Belinda.
Approaching Belinda, he wanted to take a seat beside her.
“Oh? You’re here?” Belinda expressed surprise as she saw him.
“Yeah, mind if I sit here?” Darwin said with a nod.
Belinda also nodded and responded, “Sure, you can sit here.”

Darwin smiled and leaned in slightly. “I just came back from seeing Minna. Want to know what she told me?”
Intrigued, Belinda leaned in and inquired, “What did she say?”
Darwin moved even closer, his face nearing Belinda’s ear… Meanwhile, not too far away, Lucas watched their interaction, his expression turning dark with jealousy.
Frustrated, Lucas wondered why Darwin had to lean in so close to speak with Belinda.
Had they become that close already?
Seeing the dark expression on Lucas’ face, Vincent couldn’t help but follow his gaze.
When he saw what was happening, his brow twitched slightly.
Clearly, the circle of Belinda’s admirers had grown larger after the divorce.
First, it was Devin, and now, Darwin seemed to have joined the competition.
It was no wonder Lucas felt a pang of jealousy.
At that moment, Verena and Ryan showed up. They headed directly toward Lucas, intending to sit next to him.
However, as soon as Verena began to sit down, Lucas fixed a stern gaze on her.
“Keep your distance from me,” Lucas said sharply, his voice lacking any trace of warmth.
“Must I repeat myself?”
Verena’s face froze.
