Chapter 452: Chapter 462

.

Chapter 462 he others arrived?” Marve asked.

“Have Charlie and the 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.

“Alright. Let’s go.”

Marve was dressed in a burgundy evening gown, her hair curled down 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, Clara, dressed in white, clung to Halley’s arm. Clara was visibly pregnant beside Hailey, drawing considerable attention.

Hailey glanced at Maeve with a mocking sneer in her eyes.

Halley clinked glasses 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 had already researched about the Johnson family’s jewelry business when she planned to collaborate 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 as a 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 façade of industry 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 play her cards right, winning Patricia’s sympathy and affection would have been 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 you to recognize me still” Maeve flashed a sweet smile.

Patricia looked at Maeve and said, “The last time I saw you, you were just 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 trouble lately, 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.”
