“Lizzie, these two are your…” Monte’s eyes settled on Catherine and Freya with a confused look on his
face. He was pretending that it was his first time meeting them.

“These are my friends, Catherine and Freya.” Charity pretended as if she did not see through him and
made a simple introduction.

Before Monte could speak, the few wealthy young men behind him walked forward.

“So you’re Miss Jones and Miss Lynch.

Both your reputations precede you.” Hugo said with a particularly enthusiastic smile, “I’ve heard about
how beautiful both you ladies are, but now that I ’vé finally met you in person, you’re much more
beautiful than I imagined. By the way, I have yet to introduce myself. I’m Hugo Jeffs from Dolly
Corporation in Newcastle.”

“Dolly Corporation?” Catherine thought about it and was a little surprised. “Are you the Young Master
Jeffs who owns the most luxurious hotel, Doyle Hotel, in Newcastle?”

“That’s right.” Hugo nodded pridefully. “I didn’t expect you to have heard about me, Miss Jones. Your
mom and Mr. Costner once stayed in our hotel when they came to Newcastle for vacation.”

“Uncle Costner told me that your hotel was pretty fun. He won ten million dollars before he left.”
Catherine revealed an eager look.

Hugo said shyly, “Mr. Costner is a brilliant man. Since we’re all here, and it’s still early, would you like to
join US? We were also planning to go to the clubhouse.”



“Come and join US, Lizzie.” Monte looked at Charity fondly, and her eyes resembled a hook.

“Should we… go and have some fun?” Charity looked over at her best friends.

“Since you’ve invited US, how can we say no?” Freya said helplessly, “I’ve promised to meet Ryan, but
because of you, I’m going to stand him up.”

After Monte heard it, he immediately said, “Miss Lynch, you can invite Mr. Snow to join us as well.”

“No, it’s fine. He has a unique identity.” Freya grinned.



“True.” With that, Monte nodded and looked at Catherine. “Miss Jones, you can invite Mr. Hill over as
well.”

“My husband needs to take care of the kids at home.”

Hugo said with a smile, “Mr. Hill is such a wonderful man, but I’m sure anyone who marries a beautiful
wife like you will treasure you anyway.”

“My husband didn’t really treasure me before this. We’ve even gotten a divorce before. Don’t you know
that?” Catherine asked in astonishment.

Hugo froze. “…Well, I really had no idea. Sorry, I’m not from Canberra.”

“It’s fine. Don’t worry. I’m not that petty.”

With that, the group of them went to the clubhouse in Janee Hotel.

Catherine and Freya were singing while the few wealthy young men were flattering them.



In the meantime, Monte sat beside Charity and poured her a glass of water. “Lizzie, I didn’t expect you
to have such a good relationship with Catherine and Freya. I can tell that they respect you.”

Charity acknowledged with a low tone. Her voice sounded as lazy as a kitten’s.

Monte turned around and looked at her. The woman on the sofa had long, thick eyelashes, red lips,
and white teeth. Since she was young, she looked pure and stunning despite her short, ear-length hair.

As he recalled the sweet moments he and Charity used to share, Monte suddenly felt a flutter in his
heart.

“Lizzie…” He moved his hand toward hers.

Before he could touch her hand, Charity withdrew it and stared at him sarcastically. “Are you planning
to make me your lover?”

“N-No.” Her stare made Monte feel guilty. He did initially have such a thought, but she had a good
relationship with Catherine and Freya. what if they found out about it? He was worried that he would
suffer the consequences. “I just had trouble controlling my emotions. Lizzie, you’re so pretty, why didn’t
you reply to the messages I sent you earlier? I was very concerned when Chester pestered you the
other day.”

“But why did you leave? Were you worried that your fiancee would find out?” Charity asked with a half
smile.
