Chapter237
The Hes, like the Sterlings, were top–tier families. Zark was exceptionally eligible; Vivian’s affection was welcomed. With Tanya and Chase already a couple, and Vivian potentially with Zark, the Suns‘ position in the capital would be insurmountable. Their eagerness to impress Zark and Ethan intensified.
Tanya frowned at her family’s obsequiousness. She and Zark were friends, equals; their behavior was inappropriate. She couldn’t say anything publicly, though.
The Lins had been wealthy for decades. The Suns, having climbed the social ladder through the ns, were now considered high society, but their ascent was recent. The Suns lacked the Lins‘ established lineage, and Zark and Ethan subtly looked down on them. However, because of Tanya, they overlooked this.
After giving the Suns their gifts, they asked Tanya, “Where’s Chase? Has he arrived yet?” Tanya explained,“He had some business issues overseas. He’s been working late these past few days and hasn’t fully resolved things yet. He’ll be late.”
