Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 702

It wasn't just Maeve who despised these events; Andres hated them too.

Ever since his role as the head of the Ascend Project was exposed, the number of people trying to cozy up to him had skyrocketed.

Some people had absolutely no shame when it came to chasing a profit.

"Mr. Andres, what a rare pleasure."

Not long after Corbin walked away, another member of the Shaw family approached to greet Andres.

He was about Corbin's age and shared a passing resemblance to him.

Andres knew exactly who this man was.

Cormac Shaw.

Corbin's older half-brother.

He was an illegitimate son born from Old Mr. Shaw's past affair.

Because Cormac's mother came from a low-class background, she was never allowed to join the Shaw family, even after giving birth to a son.

Instead, Cormac was kept in the family.

Meanwhile, his biological mother was exiled abroad, permanently banned from returning.

Andres had a very low opinion of Cormac.

He had zero patience for dealing with anyone from the Shaw family besides Corbin.

Giving the man a curt nod, Andres turned to leave the area.

Cormac quickly blocked his path, flashing a sycophantic smile.

"I heard the rumors. Word is that you've been internally appointed to head the Ascend Project."

"With government backing, your future potential is limitless."

Andres gave a slight nod.

"You flatter me, Mr. Shaw."

Cormac chuckled. "You're my brother's friend, which naturally makes you my friend. There's no need for such formalities between us."

Andres remained silent.

Not just anyone had the right to be his friend.

Although Cormac was technically the eldest son, he was deeply unfavored within the family.

"Mr. Andres, there's someone here I bet you'd love to see."

Andres felt a surge of irritation.

What was wrong with Cormac? His desperation to network was getting downright pathetic.

If not for the Shaw family name, Andres would have already told him off and walked out.

"Mr. Shaw, I have no interest in seeing anyone. I have matters to attend to. Excuse me."

Just as Andres turned around, a delicate, sickeningly sweet voice called out from behind him.

"Andres, do you really not want to see me?"

A young woman with a stunning figure and striking features stepped out from the crowd of guests.

There are people in this world who are simply born winners.

Take, for example, the gorgeous woman locking eyes with Andres right now.

Once upon a time, she was known by a title everyone recognized: the Goddess of Aethelburg.

It was none other than Andres's rumored ex-girlfriend, Nancy Grover.
