Never See You Again

Henry struggled to maintain his composure as Conner approached. 

Everyone knew the close ties between the Ramoz and Jefferson families, and it was no secret that the Ramez family had broken the engagement first, humiliating the Jeffersons 

Henry couldn’t have managed a genuine sinile. But with so many eyes on him, he forced a grin and extended his hand. 

Just then, Conner withdrew his hand and said calmly, “Where’s Nathalie?” 

To outsiders, he still appeared to be the same lovesick Conner. 

As whispers started among the crowd, Clara descended from the second floor, clad in a high–end custom gown and adorned with expensive jewelry, 

Her appearance instantly drew everyone’s attention 

Word had spread that the Ramoz family’s heiress would be announced as getting engaged to the head of the Brooks Group, prompting guests to shower dara with congratulations. 

Having attended many events with Sergio, Clara remained composed and responded with a faint smile. It was as it she was already assured of her position as Mrs. Brooks 

“Dad” Clara approached Henry. 

He parted her hand approvingly. “You look stunning today.” 

Clara noticed Conner and flashed a triumphant smile. She extended her hand and said, “Conner, I’m glad you could make it.” 

Conner narrowed his eyes at Clara’s dramatically different demeanor. She used to be terrified of him, but now, with Sergio backing her, she showed no fear of him revealing her 

secrets. 

“Congratulations, your wish has finally come true,” Conner sald 

He gripped Clara’s hand tightly as a silent threat, but Clara ignored them. 

She smiled and replied, “Yes. My wish has come true thanks to you, Conner. How could that 

I have married Sergio so smoothly if it weren’t for you? 

She turned to Henry and added, “Dad, you should thank Conner properly in the future.” 

“Of course, Conner is like a son to me,” Henry said while patting Conner’s shoulder. “There are more guests to attend over there. So Nathalie and I will excuse ourselves.” 

It was clearly a polite brush–off. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Conner was sharp and quickly understood Henry’s underlying message. Frowning, he asked, “Mr. Ramoz, are you distancing yourself from me?” 

Over the years, Conner had treated Henry like his own father. Everyone thought Conner would become Henry’s successor. 

But now that Nathalie had been found, Henry was marrying his daughter to Sergio, effectively abandoning Conner.. 

“Of course not. Don’t overthink it,” Henry replied, but he was already leading Clara to the other side of the hall. 

Bailey frowned and commented, “Henry is such a bastard. We’ve cleaned up so many of the Ramoz family’s messes and even found his daughter. But now that he can ally with the Brooks family, he turns around and sells us out!” 

“Where’s Nathalie?” Conner asked. 

“I’ve got everything ready. When Sergio announces his engagement to Clara, she’ll make her entrance,” Bailey replied. 

Conner nodded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. “Henry Ramoz, you’ve never show me any kindness, so don’t blame me for being ruthless. Once we fall out, it won’t be easy for either of us. 

Meanwhile, socialites flocked to toast Clara. 

Dorothy’s par dated around. She saw everyone gathered around Clara and hurriedly joined them. 

She picked up a glass of wine, handed it to Clara, and slid, “I’ve long heard of your beauty, Ms. Ramor. It’s such an honor to see you in person today. You truly are stimning A toast
