HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 829

"What are you going to do, Mr. Cale?"

A few seconds later, the phone resting on the desk vibrated softly. Cale's attention immediately shifted to the screen. At first, he assumed it was another work report requiring his immediate attention.

But the moment he saw the sender's name, one of his brows lifted slightly.

Naomi.

Without realizing it, Vincent noticed the subtle change in his boss's expression.

Cale opened the message. And within seconds, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Not because he was pleased.

Because he was annoyed.

[Naomi: Don't even think about forbidding me from attending the event mentioned in that invitation.]

The room suddenly fell silent. Noticing the change in expression, Vincent carefully asked, "Is there a problem?"

Cale didn't answer immediately. He simply handed his phone to Vincent. And when his assistant read the message, his brow furrowed as well.

"So... Miss Naomi received the invitation too?"

"Hm."

For the first time since receiving the invitation, Cale realized something he should have considered from the beginning.

Naomi Devereux—the last heir of the Devereux family.

The very reason everyone had continued paying such close attention to that family until now. Of course Silas would send her a personal invitation.

Perhaps from the very beginning... the invitation sent to Cale had merely been an accessory. Because the true guest of honor wasn't Cale Miller.

It was Naomi.

Cale looked once more at the invitation card lying on his desk. His gaze gradually darkened. Now everything was beginning to make sense. And precisely because of that, he liked whatever Silas Evermont was planning even less.

Without hesitation, he called the sender of the message. It didn't take long before a voice came from the other end; somewhat curt and clearly annoyed.

"Are you going to forbid me from going?"

Cale laughed. "No."

"I don't believe you."
