StarNovelChapter 740:
Freya shook her head lightly. “No, I'll be at the masquerade party on the eighth floor.”
If Ellis had not mentioned the masquerade party a few days ago, she probably would not have bothered with it.
After all, since Anita International Group had been founded, Melvin had overseen most of its affairs.

“Mel.”
“Yes?”
“You ought to cto the masquerade party tomorrow night as well.”
Freya did not want him to spend the best years of his life shackled solely to the company. “After your speech at

Tslipped by, and before long, it was six in the evening.
When Freya stepped out, she spotted Ethel and Kristian lounging on the sofa—Ethel munching on snacks as she
watched TV, while Kristian sat silently at her side, simply keeping her company.
Just as Freya opened her mouth to ask what they wanted for dinner, Ellis arrived.
He knocked lightly before stepping inside, greeting the three of them with the calm, composed authority of an
adult. His voice was brief yet steady as he announced, “Dinner’s ready.”
