    Terence was highly impressed with Emmanuel, who had extensive knowledge of medicine and a


    commendable sense of reading the room. Only women like Hannah, who had never been married,


    would look down upon such a


    man!


    After Emmanuel left, Terence sat with the olddy in a corner and happily chatted about the town’s


    happenings.


    Shane also wanted to strike up a conversation with Red but didn’t know what to say.


    If he talked about everyday life, would she consider him old-fashioned? But if he talked about deeper


    topics, would she think he was showing off?


    He pondered for a moment and found himself unable to speak due to overthinking.


    At that moment, a tall and young girl walked in. Shane’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw her!


    The girl appeared to be 18 or 19 years old, bearing a 70% resemnce to Red. However, she was


    taller and had a more vibrantplexion. Shecked Red’s delicate aura but had dyed her hair blonde


    and was wearing denim shorts, revealing a pair of fair and long legs.


    She was like an upgraded version of Red!


    “Marilyn, you’re back?” Red greeted her sister with a smile.


    The olddy, on the other hand, angrily tapped her cane and scolded loudly, “You little troublemaker.


    Where have you been wandering around? You didn’te home all day! I thought you were going to


    spend the night with a man again!”


    Marilyn immediately pouted and retorted, “Grandma, you just don’t like me, do you? You scold me as


    soon as I’m back, but I’ve never seen you scold Red!”


    The olddy defended herself, “Your sister is sensible. She goes to work and earns money to support


    me! Why would I scold her? You don’t do anything productive all day and fool around with those men at


    night. I wish I could knock some sense into you, you little troublemaker!”


    As she spoke, she even raised her cane to frighten Marilyn.


    “Come on! Come and knock some sense into me!” Marilyn had a rebellious look on her face. Not only


    did she not back down, but she also stepped forward and said, “Since we’re so poor, life is


    meaningless! We can’t buy anything or enjoy anything! I hate this family so much!”


    “You-” The olddy was so angry that she almost fainted.


    Then, Terence quicklyforted her, “Madam, the little girl doesn’t know any better. Don’t get so


    worked up.”


    Red and Shane also hurried over to pacify her.


    Not only did Marilyn not appreciate Terence speaking up for her, but she also nced at him and


    Shane and sneered, “Grandma, you’re biased! When I brought my friends back, you chased them


    away with a broom. But look at what kind of people Red brought back. An old guy and a young one,


    both ugly and poor. Yet you’reughing and talking with them. What’s the reasoning behind this?”


    The olddy was furious and swung her cane at Marilyn as she shouted angrily, “Get out! Get out of


    this house!”


    Shane felt a sudden pang of sympathy when he saw Marilyn being unjustly treated. He quickly walked


    over to her with Red and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”


    “Get lost!” Marilynpletely ignored their concern. After seeing the burning gaze in Shane’s eyes,


    she mocked coldly, “Hey fatty, do you like me? I’m guessing you like my long legs, huh? Aren’t they


    longer than my sister’s?”


    Shane’s face instantly turned red, and he said shakily, “Miss, please don’t say such things! I like your


    sister-Ah, damn it! Why did I blurt out the secret?”


    Red’s face also turned red in an instant. She knew that Shane liked her, but it was so embarrassing for


    him to actually say it out loud!

    She didn’t feel any romantic feelings toward him, but they could still be friends. She was just worried


    that after he said this, their future interactions would be awkward.


    “Ha! Men are all hypocrites. You think I don’t know that?” Marilyn intentionally bumped her arm against


    his and said provocatively, “Give me 400, and I’ll sleep with you tonight. How about that?”


    Oh my God!


    Shane suddenly tensed up all over.


    Why is she so direct? Her grandma and sister are present. How am I supposed to respond to her?


    And isn’t 400 a bit too expensive? Will it make me look stingy if I negotiate the price?


    “Go to hell! I’ll kill you, you shameless little brat!”


    The olddy waspletely enraged as her face turned beet red, and she started cursing while


    attempting to run over to hit Marilyn.


    Marilyn made a face, turned around, and ran out. But before leaving, she taunted, “Hey, old man and


    fatty! Regardless of whether you want to seduce my grandma or my sister, with your poor and pathetic


    appearance, you should save your efforts. I’m not interested in either one of you!”
