Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 371

Corbin couldn't shake the feeling that Landon hadn't brought Nevaeh to this party out of nostalgia.

From the moment Andres walked in, he'd made it a point—loudly, repeatedly—to let everyone around him know that Maeve was his girlfriend.

And then Nevaeh showed up uninvited, in front of a room full of people, and dug up Andres's ancient love life like it was party entertainment.

Any girl with even a shred of pride would've blown up on the spot.

Corbin kept watching Maeve, waiting for the explosion.

But either Miss Vance had nerves of steel, or she simply didn't consider Nevaeh worth her attention.

Ever since Nevaeh arrived, Maeve had done exactly two things: keep eating, and occasionally look up like she was watching a show.

That kind of composure made it impossible for Corbin not to start paying attention to her.

Andres turned to Landon, who was doing his best innocent act.

"So this 'kindness' of yours," Andres said lightly, "really did bring me a lot of trouble."

Tonight had veered completely off-script.

Before Landon showed up, Andres had naïvely assumed the guy wouldn't push things all the way.

On the surface, he and Landon still wore the mask of friendship.

In reality, they'd been at each other's throats in business for a long time—smiling to your face, cutting you off at the knees behind the scenes.

Andres had expected Landon to try something at this party.

He just hadn't expected Landon to drag Maeve into it.

Landon cleared his throat, looking faintly uncomfortable.

"Andres… Nevaeh came tonight specifically to see you."

"And for old times' sake, don't take it so far."

Andres smiled—except the smile never reached his eyes.

"In your mind, turning down some other woman throwing herself at me… so my girlfriend doesn't have her night ruined…"

"That's 'taking it too far'?"

The smile on Landon's face started to crack.

"We've been friends for years, Andres. The way you're talking tonight… honestly, it's a little scary."
