Chapter 311 

So, when faced with Kenton’s cold demeanor, Vesta didn’t really mind. 

After exchanging pleasantries with Kenton, Vesta politely greeted Darius and the others, “Hello, everyone.” 

She addressed them collectively, which was the most appropriate approach. 

After all, Darius and his colleagues hadn’t expressed any particular interest in meeting her. Greeting each of them individually might have been more of an intrusion than a courtesy. 

Geoffrey and Darius were more focused on Charlene. 

They, like Hickey, noticed Charlene’s evident dislike for Henley and Vesta. 

Geoffrey had gathered quite a bit of intel on Charlene. 

He recognized Vesta and Henley the moment they walked in. 

When Vesta greeted them, Geoffrey simply nodded in acknowledgment and then turned to Kenton and Charlene, saying, “Let’s not just stand here. Let’s head inside.” 

Kenton nodded in agreement. 

The group turned and headed into the restaurant. 

Abelard took a moment to advise Dalton, “Don’t drink too much wine.” 

“I won’t,” Dalton replied. 

Abelard nodded at Vesta and Henley before following Kenton and the others inside. Dalton didn’t follow. 

Since Abelard hadn’t explicitly invited him, it was clear that the upcoming discussion was meant to be private. 

But why was Charlene allowed in? Dalton frowned at the thought. 

Still, he turned to Vesta and Henley, asking, “Mr. and Ms. Hawkins, are you here for a business meeting as well?” 

Henley and Vesta nodded, “Yes, and you, Mr. Ramirez?” 

“Indeed.” 

Henley added, “I heard the Ramirez Group has a new project. We’re quite interested. Perhaps you could let us know when you’re available…” 

The Ramirez Group did have a new project in the works, but it was still in the planning stages. 

The Hawkins family business had stabilized, thanks in part to Thorne’s assistance and Henley’s efforts over the past few months. 

If a suitable project arose, collaborating with the Hawkins family wouldn’t be out of the question. 

Dalton nodded, considering, “We can arrange a time to discuss it in a few days.” 

As they exchanged pleasantries, Dalton’s gaze lingered on Vesta. 

He had thought about reaching out to her after seeing Thorne approach Charlene at the last conference, but he knew it wasn’t his place. 

After all, they weren’t exactly close. 

Besides, knowing how close Vesta and Thorne were, even if he told her, she might not believe him. 

He’d heard about Thorne giving Vesta shares in Neural Nexus Tech. 

Dalton wasn’t sure if Thorne had always planned to give her the shares or if it was a gesture to make up for something Vesta had discovered.
