Wette blinked, and she answered nonchalantly, âAlright.â
âThave a business engagement tonight, so I canât join you guys. Yara, youâll have to take the kids to Murray Estate,â Irwin said while parring her hand gentl His eves were filled with tendemess. âIf you feel unwell at any point, call me immediately.â
âAlright, alright, donât act so lovey dovey in front of the kids!â Yata scolded Irwin playfully, though her eyes were filled with joy as she glanced at him Sá´aÊ*á´h the Find_Nøvel.É´et website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Wette couldnât help but smile seeing them so harmonious.
However, Yasmin glanced around with a hint of malice in her eyes.
Alex always doted on her the most. Tonight, she would ensure he taught Yvette a lesson for all the humiliation she had endured recently.
By evening, they arrived at Murray Estate.
âWelcome Mr. Murray Senior has been waiting for you all,â a housekeeper said, leading them toward the hall.

Alexâs face darkened as he waved her ott. He lowered his voice, saying, âIâm fine, donât worry. Anyone who bullies you will be dealt with.â
Hearing this, Yasminâs face lit up with a sing smile. She couldnât wait to see that bitch, Yvette get what she deserved.
âAlright, everyone. Letâs sit and eat,â Alex said.
âYes, Alexâ Yara nodded and gestured for everyone to take their seats. âCome on, letâs eat,â
