The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 509

What was he doing here? And why did he bring such an entourage? Had something happened?

While Suzie was still frozen, Jamie was already walking toward her. The crowd whispered excitedly among themselves.

Suzie wanted to turn and head inside, but before she could, Jamie was already standing right in front of her.

He looked at her with warm eyes and said with a faint smile, "Congratulations on your grand opening, Ms. Sterling. May your business thrive."

Then, Aaron, who was following closely behind, gently raised his arm. The cars behind them began to pull away one by one until they were out of sight. The final vehicle left idling at the door was a large transport truck.

Once it stopped, the men Jamie brought began to unload items from the back.

The crystal name-plaque, the antique vase and scroll painting, a money tree...

The crowd erupted into overlapping chatter again.

"That antique vase and scroll painting look exactly like the treasures from that recent high-end auction! I saw them in the news. They're priceless!"

"Is that name-plaque made of pure crystal? It's so translucent. The words 'Iris Dream Studio' literally look magical. My god, I've never seen such a stunning plaque."

"Look at that money tree! What on earth?! Those look like real solid gold bars hanging off it. I... I want to go touch it."

"What's that asymmetrical piece under the red silk cloth at the end?"

"Do you guys recognize him? That's Jamie Baylor, the most powerful business tycoon in Mornhaven City."

"Who doesn't know him? By the looks of it, Mr. Baylor is openly pursuing Suzie. She really keeps a low profile. You'd never guess."

"..."

Just as the words left her mouth, Chester, Oliver, Stella, along with Hayden and Alice, came downstairs.

Suzie's cheeks instantly grew hot. Aside from Chester, everyone else knew about her past with Jamie.

But the scene unfolding right in front of them could easily lead them to a massive misunderstanding: that she had already forgiven Jamie and taken him back...

Suzie was completely tongue-tied. She didn't even know where to begin explaining, so she just squeezed out a forced smile and nodded at them.

"Jamie?! What are you doing here?"

Chester practically jogged down the stairs when he saw Jamie, his eyes involuntarily sweeping over the massive lobby, taking in the extravagant items the crowd was buzzing around.

Jamie really knew how to put on a show!
