Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 287

Andrew came solely because Christopher said it was the Everetts' annual banquet and that Hera had invited them.

But when they saw Terence and Queenie with such an attitude and speaking like the hosts, they figured that they must have gotten the wrong venue.

Christopher was also confused. He launched his WhatsApp to check the invitation Hera had sent him earlier. The indicated time and place were correct.

This was the first time Hera invited him to a banquet, yet he somehow got it wrong. He had even asked his parents to accompany him. He wondered why the Gaskells were the ones greeting them.

He considered if they were there to curry favor with Zyler's father, seeing that he had a falling out with Zyler.

"Chris, I knew you'd come! We're still brothers, right?" Zyler said happily as he approached.

Christopher's face briefly showed his displeasure before solemnly saying, "Sorry, but we've already broken off our friendship. Please don't make me repeat this again."

Zyler's expression instantly froze. He pondered why Christopher was present if it wasn't to see him.

Queenie and Terence also felt a little embarrassed. They hadn't expected Christopher to be so blunt and inconsiderate of the occasion.

On the contrary, the guests' and media reporters' eyes lit up. They found it to be significant news.

Everyone in Norburgh knew that Zyler and Christopher were best friends, and the Gaskells often boasted about this relationship. Now, with their friendship broken, could the rumors from Cavenridge be true? Had they fallen out over a woman?

"So, that's why we haven't seen Zyler with you recently. You've broken off your friendship," Alice York, Andrew's wife, said gracefully.

Then, she turned to Christopher and asked, "Then why did you ask us to come to this banquet? You even made it so mysterious and said you wanted to introduce someone to me."
