he others arrived?” Marve asked.
<b>“</b>Have Charlie and <b>the </b>others
“Mr. Foster and the others didn’t get an invitation.”
“Charlie, Lyra, or Zion weren’t invited, but I was.” Marve chuckled softly. She hadn’t realized she held such sway to have Haley bypass those three and invite her directly.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
“Alright. Let’s go.”
Marve was dressed in a burgundy evening gown, her hair <b>curled </b><b>down </b>to her waist, and she was adorned with limited–edition jewelry from the Johnson family. The moment she appeared, she captivated everyone’s attention.
“Mrs. Brooks Senior, Maeve has arrived” At the center of the banquet, ra, dressed in white, clung to Halley’s arm. ra was visibly pregnant beside Hailey, drawing considerable attention.
Hailey nced at Maeve with a mocking sneer in her eyes.
Halley clinked sses with Patricia, who was in her 40s, and smiled “Mrs. Johnson, do enjoy yourself.”
“Sure. Here’s to another year of good health and happiness,” Patricia replied.
Patricia and Isaac appeared quite affectionate Maeve <b>had </b>already researched about the Johnson family’s jewelry business when she nned to coborate with them.
The current heads were Isaac and Patricia, who had been in love since their youth and had been together for over 20 years. Even so, they ahrays appeared <b>as </b><b>a </b>loving couple Despite Johnson Jewelry’s reputation for exclushity and high–end design, every piece in their collection was designed with Patricia in mind.
The pieces Maeve wore today were among Patricia’s favorites.
However, Marve didn’t believe in the fa?ade of <b>industry </b>love stories. A simple investigation revealed that Isaac had a young college student as a mistress. Patricia was clearly aware but chose to endure in silence.
Patricia’s situation mirrored Maeve’s in some ways. If she could y her cards right, winning Patricia’s sympathy and affection would have <b>been </b>a walk in the park.
Seeing Isaac had stepped aside to converse, Maeve approached Patricia. “Mrs. Johnson.”
Hearing Maeve’s volor, Patricia burned, and her eyes lit up upon seeing the jewelry Maeve wore. “Ms. Scott?”
“Hello. I didn’t expect <b>you </b>to recognize me still” Maeve shed a sweet smile.
Patricia looked at Maeve and said, “Thest time I <b>saw </b>you, you were <b>just </b>a young girl. I can’t believe how much you’ve grown.”
Patricia was clearly sentimental about the passage of time.
“Theard the Scott family has had some troubletely, and you became a trainee?”
“That program fell through long ago. I’m now a minor shareholder in Mirage Group and a full–time housewr.”
“Is that so?” As Patricia was also a full–time housewife, she had endless topics to discuss with Maeve
“And your marriage to Mr. Brooks. 7′′
Maeve sighed, “We’re still going through the divorce process. He refuses to sign the papers, and there’s nothing I can do. But I’ve moved on and met someone new. I just hope our
marriage ends soon.”
