“You knew she was the Schroeder family’s heiress, that’s why you got close to her. After all these years of brother- hood, you set me up like this?”Â
“Fulbert, you really disgust me!”Â
Every word from the phone was like a heavy blow.Â
Fulbert’s expression finally changed a little. He frowned, and the composure and amusement on his face froze and shattered, inch by inch.Â
The Schroeder family… heiress?Â
Clutching his phone, he stiffly turned his head, bit by bit, to look at Sandria.Â
The woman before him was still as lazy and nonchalant as ever, holding her wine glass and gently swirling it.Â
There was a faint, ambiguous smile on her face, and her bright eyes were full of mischief, as if she was watching a good show.Â
Only then did he seem to remember something. He looked down and unlocked his phone, and a large news photo filled the screen.Â
Could this be… the Ms. Schroeder his grandfather wanted him to meet?Â
But after all, he was Fulbert.Â
Fulbert, who never let his emotions show.Â
In an instant, he changed his tune.Â
“I knew it, Ms. Schroeder is truly extraordinary. I really should have listened to my grandfather.”Â
Hearing this, Sandria couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.Â
She spoke slowly, “Oh, really? Still, forget it. Ms. Schroeder sounds like trouble. Mr. Ortega, you should be careful and keep your distance.”Â
With that, she cheerfully picked up her purse and slipped on her high heels.Â
“Alright, thank you for your hospitality tonight, Mr. Ortega. The food was delicious. I’ll be heading home now.”Â
With that, she waved her hand with flair, opened the door, and strode out decisively.Â
“Bang.”Â
The door closed.Â

In the entire penthouse, only Fulbert was left. Only then did he open the news article from earlier to read the details.Â
At the same time, he sent out a message.Â
“Look into Ms. Schroeder’s return. The more detailed, the better.”Â
He also dialed Sir Ortega’s number.Â
“Grandfather, I’ve suddenly realized that the Schroeder family might be a good match for an alliance. What do you think about setting up a time for us to visit?”Â
Unexpectedly, this time, Xander Ortega on the other end of the line was stunned, not understanding why his grand- son’s attitude had changed so quickly.Â
But that didn’t stop him from speaking angrily, “Bryant was just furious, thinking I look down on his granddaughter. He’s already cut ties with me and said he’ll introduce her to a better match.”Â
“You don’t need to go to the Schroeder family anymore. Hmph, I won’t force you. Are you satisfied now?”Â
Fulbert: “.Â
“”Â
Back at her apartment, Sandria was in a great mood and about to take a shower when her phone rang. It was a call from her brother, Ashlan.Â
“Sandy, are you asleep yet?”Â
“Not yet, Ash, what’s up?”Â
Ashlan spoke in a low voice.Â
“There’s an important business reception tomorrow night. Grandfather wants you to get out more and get familiar with the circle. Of course, if you don’t want to go, I’ll make an excuse for you.”Â
Sandria blinked. “Sure, I’ll go.”Â
If she didn’t go, how would she expand her network and do business?Â
“Alright, then get some rest.”Â
At four o’clock the next afternoon, Sandria got dressed and went downstairs.Â
Ashlan’s driver had already arrived to pick her up.Â
At the entrance to the venue, Ashlan, dressed in a black suit, was waiting expectantly.Â
When he saw her arrive, he greeted her with a faint smile and very gentlemanly opened the car door.Â
“Sandy, are you tired?”Â

Sandria shook her head. Her sky–blue gown softened her pure yet alluring beauty, and her cat–like eyes were even more charming and enchanting.Â
