Chapter 425


    Chapter 425 Isn’t Martin Your Fiancé?


    Paige opened the one from Caroline and saw an ocean blue ne with 98 small diamonds and one


    big diamond


    “This ne is a gift I received from my mother on my eighteenth birthday.” Caroline smiled, “It’s now


    yours.”


    This treasure had been passed down to daughters in her family for generations. Caroline was its fifth


    owner.


    However, she was willing to give this ne to Paige. It meant that Caroline really liked her.


    Paige could tell that this ne was very valuable. It had nice rity and color.


    “The diamonds are 666 karats. It’s a great number,” Caroline looked at Paige lovingly. “I hope you will


    achieve whatever you want. Just like the blessing you wrote, you’re meant to be great.”


    “This gift is too precious. I can’t take it.” Paige can tell the value and significance of this ne. It


    was around 160 million dors.


    “I’m giving it to you. You must take it.” Caroline didn’t give her a chance to refuse. She changed the


    topic. “Let’s see what Wilfred has gotten for you.”


    Wilfred’s gift was a key with gems and the Stowe family’s emblem engraved on it. It was exquisite and


    priceless.


    It could open the Stowe family’s secret base and the safe box that Wilfred and Caroline stored in a


    foreign bank.


    Wilfred felt that since Paige had joined the family, he should treat her as a member of this family. He


    and Caroline often traveled around the world. If something happened to them, with this key, Paige


    could inherit everything that the couple had.


    “Fortunately, it is not jewelry. Paige has only one neck,” Martin joked.


    I have given Paige bracelets, hand chains, and nes. Grandma gave her an heirloom, and Paige’s


    brother has also given her a lot of jewelry…


    Paige can’t wear so many pieces of jewelry at one time.


    Everyone was amused by him. Seeing that Paige was still unwilling to ept it, he said softly. “They


    are gifts from Dad and ****, so just ept it. It’s alright.”


    Finally, Paige epted the two gifts. They chatted pleasantly for a long time before leaving the room.


    On the first floor of the restaurant.


    Patricia was eating with a few friends. And she happened to see Killian and Rosa walk out of the


    elevator. Her eyes lit up. Patricia was about to go forward to greet them, but she saw Martin and Paige


    behind them.


    Martin said something to Paige in a low voice. Paige whispered a few words to him. They looked very


    intimate..


    Patricia also saw Wilfred and Caroline. After they walked out of the elevator, they talked andughed


    around Paige. They seemed to like their future daughter-inw very much.


    The fork in Patricia’s hand suddenly fell. She couldn’t tell whether she was stunned, shocked, or sad.


    Janel Hadfield, who was sitting next to her, also saw this scene. Janel almost spat out the drink in her


    ***.


    “Patricia, look! Isn’t that Martin? Why is he holding hands with another woman?”


    Hearing that, Patricia’s other friends hurriedly looked in that direction. And they were stunned.


    “Who is that woman? She seems to be about our age….


    “Are the two behind them Martin’s parents? She has met his parents?”


    “My goodness. Martin has gone too far. He is engaged to you. How could he hook up with another


    woman?”


    “The two in front are not Martin’s grandparents, are they? No. I must be mistaken… I remember that


    Martin’s grandmother is in-a- vegetative state…”


    “Patricia, isn’t Martin your fiancé? What exactly is going on?”


    Patricia didn’t know how to answer these questions. She only said disappointedly. “Stop it.”


    Her friends looked at her with sympathy in their eyes.


    No one would feelfortable seeing her fiancé with another woman…


    “Patricia, all men are like this. They will have a lot of fun before they get married. After getting married,


    they will stop fooling around.”


    “You haven’t registered your marriage. Just let hirn have fun for two more years. When you graduate


    and marry into the Stowe family, other women will stay away from him.”


    “He’s Martin. Just forgive him. There are so many women flirting with him. It means he is attractive.”


    “After he dates all those women, he will find that you are the best. When the timees, he will give


    you all his attention.”


    What they said didn’t make Patricia feel better. She looked at them and asked sadly. “If I were not the


    daughter of the Lusk family. would you still be friends with me?”


    “Patricia, what are you talking about? We make friends with you because of you, not your background!”


    “Yes. Ms. Koum goes to the same school as us, but I don’t care about her.”


    “Patricia, do you have any trouble? If something bothers you, you can tell us. We will help you solve it.”


    Patricia hesitated several times, but she didn’t say anything. She was no longer in the mood to eat, so


    she didn’t eat much.


    On the way back to school.


    Patricia received a call from Amily. She said that in one or two days, Martin’s parents would visit the


    Lusk’s home.


    Amily asked her to ask for leave and go home. She hoped Patricia could impress Martin’s parents and


    defeat Paige…


    In that case, Patricia would turn the situation around.


    However, Patricia recalled how Martin’s parents couldn’t take Paige’s ce.


    re talking andughing with Paige. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she


    Everyone in the Stowe family likes Paige. Martin’s parents and grandparents seem to like her very


    much….


    Amily tried to persuade Patricia not to give up. She also said that during the days when Paige was


    away from home, Donald and Danica missed Paige very much. They mentioned Paige more times than


    Patricia.

    It meant that her parents’ concern for Paige had increased, while Patricia had be less important.


    Amily also said Patricia’s position in the family would be taken by Paige gradually.


    “Ms. Patricia, you are so kind. You want to let go of the past with her. You gave her food and drinks and


    sent her messages to ask about her well-being. You have done so many things. But has she ever


    responded to you?


    “To put it bluntly, she doesn’t need a sister now. Your existence will only threaten her position in the


    family….


    “Ms. Patricia, you should get tough….


    “You have been humble, but what you got in return is more and more disdain and contempt from the


    whole family…”


    Amily’s words echoed in Patricia’s mind. Patricia didn’t know what she had done wrong Why is it so


    hard to be a better person…


    Do I need to continue?


    The next afternoon.


    Paige arrived at the ce that Caroline had arranged at the appointed time.


    It was a restaurant that was well-known on the inte. It hadrge French windows that allowed one


    to admire thergest Ferris wheel in America at close range. The beautiful sea made one feel rxed.
