Chapter 558:
Gabriela cut him off, her tone sharp but soft. “You brought me home p>
Brenden hesitated, unease flickering across his face. He couldn’t quite meet her gaze. “Yeah, you don’t remember p>
A quiet disappointment sank into Gabriela’s chest.
So those tender, stolen moments with Wesley, the heat of his touch… all had been nothing more than fragments of a dream.

Brenden didn’t hesitate. “Well, I’m not going to refuse that offer p>
Before long, the table was set, the comforting aroma of freshly cooked dishes filling the air.
But just as they were about to sit down, Brenden’s phone rang. Fiona’s frantic voice spilled through the speaker. “Check the trending topics now! Something big just dropped p>
The male escort, after leaving netizens hanging for hours, had finally unveiled what he claimed was the real reason for Blue Star’s abrupt closure.
“The heir’s cousin is close friends with Ms. Dewitt. When she called for help that night, he rushed over immediately. But the club has a strict policy. No male guests allowed. Therefore, the heir’s cousin disguised himself as a waiter to slip inside p>
“Unfortunately, he walked into the wrong room and ended up at the mercy of a group of wealthy women, which, of course, infuriated the heir. In a blind rage to protect his cousin’s dignity, the heir shut Blue Star down p>
