James watched the alpha pair enter the venue with tense eyes.
He knew that both alphas who were 'friends' with Anabella were wealthy and well-connected, but he had never expected to run into them like this.
It made his blood boil to see them both, and he wanted to hurt them as much as possible. But he held his desire back and decided to observe for now.
The longer it took for the pair to enter and head toward their table, the more James was able to calm himself down. He was almost sure he would not show irritation to anyone.
That thought lasted just until his eyes met Noah across the hall, and the alpha recognized him before he walked over to James to give his greetings.
"Hey, kid! So we meet again. Are you here with your family? What about Bella? Did you not bring her? Can you let her know that she should visit us more often? We get bored easily, and she is usually unwilling to entertain us when we talk to her…hahaha…"
