“Carrie had lost her memories. Let’s not talk about her past in case we carelessly mention something that could cause her pain,” Marietta said without a second thought.
“Oh, shall we not? My bad. This is my first time with an amnesiac,” Yvonne responded cattily.
Just then, Sean called out to everyone, “Hey guys, the food’s ready.”
Betty took the opportunity to lead Caroline away and said, “Carrie, let’s go grab something to eat.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Okay,” Caroline replied.
Caroline followed Betty to the dining area. As she left, she looked toward Marietta.
Marietta also had her gaze fixed on Caroline.
For some inexplicable reason, seeing Caroline and Betty being so close, like mother and daughter, made her feel envious. It felt like somebody had come and taken her daughter away from her.
But in reality, her daughter was just standing next to her.
“Let’s head to the dining area as well,” Marietta beckoned Yvonne over. She didn’t greet Kirk, who was standing behind her. She figured he must have put on the mask because he didn’t want anybody to
recognize him.
Everybody took their seats and grilled meat as they ate.
Somehow, their discussion topics started to center around Caroline.
“Betty, could it be that this pretty young lady is going to be your future daughter-in-law?”
Hearing people praise Caroline for her looks made Yvonne annoyed.
“I’m afraid not. I’m not this fortunate,” Betty said regretfully.
“Moreover, my lacking son is not worthy of her. Isn’t that right, Carrie?” she continued.
Caroline blushed.
Betty always spoke about her with pride, which made her feel shy.
Hearing these words aroused the guests’ curiosity.
“Dr. Yates is such a brilliant young man! If he isn’t worthy of this young lady, it could only mean that she is
the daughter of a great and powerful family. Could it be that she is a princess?”

Some countries still operated under a monarchy, so there were still some princesses around.
The guests noticed Caroline’s elegance. Indeed, she had a noble temperament.
Inevitably, this only took their discussion further.
Hearing these compliments almost made Yvonne lose her restraint.
She badly wanted to exclaim that Caroline came from a broken family. In reality, it was Caroline who wasn’t worthy of being with Sean, not the other way around.
Besides, Caroline was a married woman, so how could she possibly qualify as part of the Yates family?
However, Yvonne couldn’t expose these secrets, lest they forbid her from going near Caroline.
She had to stifle her hatred and feign indifference.
Luckily for Yvonne, the chance for retaliation soon presented itself.
After the meal, Betty invited everybody to a game of cards.
Unfortunately, many of the guests didn’t know how to play. So they struggled to gather enough people to
fill up the seats required.
“Maybe the two of us should just watch,” Marietta said.
Betty wanted to play the game really badly, but due to the lack of players, she could only give up.
“I’ll play with you,” Caroline offered. She couldn’t bear to see the both of them unhappy.
Betty beamed with excitement. “That’s great, Carrie! But didn’t you say you don’t know the rules?”
Caroline reassured her by saying, “It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if I lose. It’s more important that everyone
has fun!”
Upon hearing this, Yvonne found her chance and took it.
“Then I’ll join too.”
