Chapter 16
“Oh my, who’s sitting next to the beauty? Isn’t that Jonah, the president of Belbanks‘ KS Group?”
Landon raised an eyebrow mischievously and said teasingly, “Isn’t Jonah known for leading a virtuous life and never setting foot in such a place? Haha, why is he here tonight?”
No wonder Jasper and Landon couldn’t recognize him.
Alyssa’s brothers were quadruplets. Among them, the eldest, Jonah, and the second eldest, Silas, looked incredibly similar at first glance. It was easy for someone unfamiliar with them to be mistaken.
