Chapter 581
Someone noticed and chuckled, “Mr. Beltran, you keep watching Aveline. Afraid she’s going to disappear?”
Xavier said calmly, “I brought her, so naturally, I have to watch over her.”
Sebastian, standing nearby, smiled. “Mr. Beltran, I seem to remember I was the one who invited
her.”
Xavier glanced at him and retorted, “She entered the gala on my arm.
Sebastian gave a faint smile and didn’t reply.

The others nearby couldn’t help but suspect that both tycoons had taken an interest in Aveline.
It wasn’t surprising. Aveline was young, beautiful, and talented, already a reasonably famous architect both at home and abroad.
Moreover, she was the lead architect for major projects with both the Crestmark and the.
Someone asked, “Mr. Beltran, the reports say you and Aveline go way back. Are you single, or…”
Xavier replied instantly, “Married.”
Sebastian heard this, glanced at him, smiled faintly, and took a sip of his wine.
Xavier shot Sebastian a look, sneered inwardly, and also took a sip of wine.
He then glanced over at Aveline and saw she had wandered over to admire some potted Prized Orchids. He excused himself and walked over to her.
That row of Prized Orchids was blooming exceptionally well, and Aveline was completely captivated.
She didn’t notice someone walking up behind her. At The Blossom Gala, people were always milling about, admiring the plants, so it was normal to hear footsteps nearby.
“You like orchids?”
Xavier’s deep voice came from behind, and the focused look of admiration on Aveline’s face vanished instantly.

She ignored him, taking a sip of her wine without turning around, then made a move to head back to Fiona and the others.
Xavier’s tall, imposing frame blocked her path. He looked down at her. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
Aveline glared at him and tried to walk around him.
Xavier moved with her. “Angry?”
“She did it on purpose. Getting angry means you’re falling for her trick.‘
Aveline said flatly, “Don’t flatter yourself, Mr. Beltran. I couldn’t care less what you’re up to.”
Xavier decided it was best to drop the subject and returned to the previous topic. “If you like orchids, we could buy a few pots for Parkview Estates.”
“How about we make our own Blossom Garden, too?”
“Mr. Beltran, how about a little originality?”
Xavier chuckled, “You’re the designer. So, what’s your brilliant idea?”
Aveline ignored him. Sebastian was walking over, and since she hadn’t really spoken to him all night, she went up to him.
Xavier saw this, his cold gaze darkening, but he could only follow.
“Sebastian, your Blossom Garden is really beautiful. It’s so relaxing being here.”
Sebastian smiled and said, “Thanks. I saw you looking at the Prized Orchids earlier. Do you them?”

Aveline replied, “I like all flowers, but those Prized Orchids are blooming so beautifully.”
Sebastian said, “There are some rare varieties of Prized Orchids in the greenhouse. Let me take you to see them.”
Aveline immediately perked up, “Oh, yes! Yes!”
Sebastian gestured for her to proceed, and Aveline followed him towards the greenhouse.
Xavier followed and said coolly, “Holding out on us, Mr. Harmon?”
Sebastian replied, “If you’d like to see it too, Mr. Beltran, then feel free to join us.
