Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 334

It was a masterclass in weaponized flattery—praising Andres so loudly it became a trap.

Andres saw the trick immediately.

"Simon. You're really going all-out against me. Don't tell me this is genuinely about getting rejected."

Maeve's words from earlier still rang in his ears.

She'd made her position clear more than once: she had no interest in a man like Simon.

If those words came from some other woman, they might not land.

Coming from Maeve—with that lethal mouth of hers—Andres could practically picture Simon's expression.

Simon never allowed himself to lose face in public.

As he brushed past Andres, he left one arrogant line behind.

"Rejected or easy prey—let's see."

The brief encounter ended with both men walking away with their own people, splitting in opposite directions.

Tonight's host at the Sapphire Lounge was Timothy Cross.

Nearly sixty and highly respected in Aethelburg, Timothy had been close friends with Caden White when he was alive.

It was his father's network.

As long as Timothy behaved appropriately, Andres didn't mind keeping things cordial.

When the private room door opened, Timothy came forward smiling.

"Andres—getting you to show up for a meal is harder than winning the lottery."

Andres smiled and shook his hand. "You're exaggerating. After my father passed, I've been taking over the family business. I'm drowning in work."

"Honestly, it's not just your invitations I miss—some months I barely even see my own mother."
