Chapter 398

They exchanged glances, surprised to see each other there. Claude took the initiative. “Hi, Dylan.”

a moment of hesitation, He smiled, and Dylan smiled back. “What a coincidence running into you here, especially after your long absence.”

Claude wasn’t surprised and just asked, ”

with your friends?”

Dylan looked at his friends and said, “Yes, you?”

“Have an appointment here.”

Although Dylan and Claude had once been close friends, their relationship had cooled following past events. However, they remained cordial.

“Oh, okay. Go ahead then. Let’s meet up again.”

“Okay, sure,” Claude replied.

He began to walk away, leaving Dylan standing there.

One of Dylan’s friends remarked, “You two haven’t seen each other in ages.

“Yes. He left for many years after Morgan’s death. I’m sure he did enough to redeem himself now, but Yancey is no longer the same. I guess that was the price he had to pay.”

“Do you think he loved Morgan? Morgan loved him so much she would die for him.

Dylan thought about her and felt emotional. “Who knows? No one can tell what goes on in his mind.”

“Morgan was such a beautiful woman. Why did she-”

“Okay, enough.” Dylan’s expression changed, and the man stopped talking.

As Claude walked away, he paused after a few steps, gazing in a certain direction. His secretary stopped beside him.

Sophie was about to speak to Olivia about Claude when a voice called out from behind.

“Soof.”

Both Sophie and Olivia turned to find the unexpected presence of Claude.

Olivia took a few steps back in surprise, while Sophie frowned. “C–Claude?”

He stared at the two women. Then Sophie turned around and asked, “What are you doing here?”

However, Claude was now fixated on Olivia. Sophie stepped in front of her to block his view. “What are you trying to do?”

She seemed to have seen through his intentions. She had wanted to speak to Olivia to stop them from getting in touch with each other, yet she created a chance for them instead.

Claude finally looked at Sophie and said, “I have an appointment here.”

“Go ahead then.” Sophie said, her guard up, while Olivia remained silent behind her.

Claude understood what Olivia was thinking, but he didn’t want to press her. He simply wanted to check on Olivia.

Concerned after the recent events, he addressed Sophie, “Soof, could you wait somewhere? I need to speak with Olivia.”
