Chapter 2694

“Alright. Let’s eat.” Charity changed the topic. “I heard the dishes here are good.”

“Fine. If we continue the conversation, Charity will be embarrassed,” Catherine mocked.

“Charity, you’re an actor, yet you get embarrassed so easily.”

The three of them chatted and joked. It had been a long time since they had such a good time.

In fact, Charity’s death had always hit a nerve in Catherine and Freya. Every time they recalled those
memories, they would feel very helpless.

“To celebrate the fact that Charity is still alive, let’s go for karaoke later.” Freya said while beaming, “It’ll
be my treat.”

“Please don’t. Both of you need to go home and spend time with your children.” Charity did not want to
be a thorn in Shaun’s and Ryan’s sides.

“Charity, we want to keep you company.” Catherine said while holding a wine glass, “ You’ve been
lonely for a long time.”

That simple sentence made the usually tough Charity almost tear up.

After they finished their meals, they walked out of the private room with their hands held together.

There were rows of red lights in the long corridor outside.

At that moment, a few men walked out from the side. The man in the middle was wearing a pair of
beige casual pants and a black Polo shirt. He had a handsome face and looked like a playboy.



When Charity saw him, she raised her brows calmly before turning around and saying to her buddies
beside her, “Work with me in an act later.”

“What act?” Catherine looked in the direction of charity’s gaze. “He’s quite good-looking.”

She had high standards, and on top of that, she had been primed with Shaun’s handsome face every
day. Therefore, the man must be handsome for her to praise him.



“He’s not as mature as Ryan.” Freya commented, “Who is he?”

“Monte.” Charity’s red lips twitched.

Monte was quite good-looking, or Eliza would not have loved him so madly.

Under the lights, the three women looked stunning in their own ways. They were even more
outstanding than the night sky.

It did not take long before Monte and the few men noticed Charity, Eliza, and Catherine’s presence, to
which Monte’s eyes lit up.

Monte’s friend nudged him. “Monte, guess who those two people next to her are?”

Only then did Monte shift his eyes to Catherine and Freya, who were both indeed beautiful. However,
he had met them before as the circle in Canberra was small. Not only were Catherine and Freya
sought after on all kinds of occasions, but they were also doing very well in the fashion industry. A lot of
socialites admired them.

“Catherine and Freya.” A friend named their identities. “One is Shaun’s wife, whose mom is an oil
magnate, whereas Freya is the prime minister’s future daughter-in-law. So the rumor that Eliza is good



friends with them is true.”

“Monte, aren’t you close with Eliza? Introduce US to them.”

The one who spoke was the successor of Dolly Corporation, Hugo Jeffs, whom Monte needed help
from recently.

Hugo was from Newcastle. He happened to be in Canberra for a business trip and stayed in the
Patterson family’s hotel. Over the last few days, Monte had been personally treating him with good
food. “Since you’ve requested, I’ll do you this favor, Young Master Jeffs.”

Monte laughed and greeted charity as he walked up to her. “Lizzie, what a coincidence. Are you going
to dine here too?”

Charity raised her brows.
