Chapter 234 The guests continued to gossip , " No wonder Mr. Sinclair treats Me Whitman so well . They grew up together , and Madam Eleanor likes her too . But then why did he marry someone else ? " " I don't know , " another guest replied , " but I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair have been just putting on a show for a while now . It's only a matter of time before they divorce . Just look at today . Mr. Sinclair hasn't left Ms. Whitman's side , and Mrs. Sinclair is nowhere in sight . " Theo overheard the whispers . Frowning , he looked toward Gregory , who was seated not far away with Natalie . With a glass of wine in hand , he walked over . " It's a Sinclair family party , and you didn't bring your wife ? " he asked casually . " Don't tell me you think she isn't worthy of attending ? " Gregory didn't reply . He swirled his wine glass and took a sip . " Don't say that , Theo . I already asked Greg to invite Ms. Jacobson , Natalie quickly cut in to smooth things over . But when she heard Theo calling Anathea Gregory's wife , a flicker of irritation crossed her heart . She feigned a touch of disappointment and added , " But she never replied . I guess she doesn't think much of me and didn't want to lower herself to come to my party . " " She'll come , " Gregory said flatly . " I told her to bring your birthday gift too . " " Really ? " Natalie's eyes lit up . " But isn't that a bit too much? You already gave me a very extravagant gift . " " That one's from me . She's got her own gift for you . " Gregory placed his now - empty wine glass back on the tray , sounding completely unconcerned . Natalie's smile deepened . As expected , Gregory's obsession with Anathea was nothing more than a fleeting possessiveness . Deep down , the one he truly cared about was still Natalie . Otherwise , why would he spend 50 million dollars on a tiara for her and even have Anathea personally deliver a gift for her birthday ? Theo didn't look pleased . Once Natalie walked off to toast some ladies nearby , he leaned toward Gregory and lowered his voice . " Greg , you know about the bad blood between Natalie and Anathea Why would you ask Anathea to show up and give her a gift ? " He'd heard what had happened at the hospital . That had been a matter of life and death . Honestly , given the circumstances , if Anathea had stormed up and started a fight with Natalie , no one would've blamed her . And yet Gregory was making her come over to wish Natalie a happy birthday ? That was humiliating . But unlike Theo's indignation , Gregory remained calm . " Why ? Are you concerned about my wife now ? " Theo was caught off guard . " Of course not . " " Then don't ask . " Gregory poured himself another glass of wine , took a sip , and remained unbothered . Theo clenched his jaw at Gregory's nonchalance and downed his full glass in one go before slamming it down on the table . " What's with the temper ? " Adrian's teasing voice rang out . " Don't tell me someone's stealing your girl ? " " No ! I just … " Theo trailed off . Even he didn't fully understand why he was this angry . Was he angry at Gregory for humiliating Anathea ? Or was it because , despite having already left , she'd come back and still held on to the title of Mrs. Sinclair? Chapter 234 He was just annoyed about being conned out of ten million dollars . That had to be it . He exhaled sharply to settle himself . Still , he couldn't help asking ' Do you think Anathea will really come ? " +25 BONUS He'd dated enough women to know that no woman would be generous enough to buy a gift and offer blessings to her romantic rival . He was sure that Anathea wouldn't show up . " I think she'll definitely come , " Adrian said . Theo frowned . " No way . How can you be so sure ? " " Because she's already here . " Adrian raised his hand to point toward the entrance . There she was - Anathea . Chapter 235
