Maeve confidently strolled into the venue and announced, “Today is my brother’s wedding day.”
“As his sister, how could I miss the chance to bless my beloved brother and my dear Cherry personally?”

Though she had initially opted out of the wedding, Maeve’s unexpected presence had caused some upheaval..
Was her apparent distaste for Cherise a sign of genuine concern for Damien?
Damien released his grip from Cherise’s hand and walked towards Maeve.
Finally, he stood before her and said sternly, “Hello there, sister.”
“Hmm.”
Maeve retrieved a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Damien, “This is a token of my sisterly affection.”
Her brown eyes swept across the room and asked wryly, “Aren’t you going to offer me a seat?”
Damien hesitated as he scanned the room.
The venue was nearly at total capacity.
Charisa’s formidable presence left an empty seat beside her.
Damien frowned, turning to Charisa, “Maeve, you see…”
“Then I’ll have that seat.”
Maeve smiled and said coldly, “I can also foster some rapport with this in-law.”

Melanie smiled, her eyes twinkling.
She stood up and raised her glass to Damien, “My sister wasn’t fortunate enough to be with you. so I can only wish Ms. Shaw well.”
Damien glanced at her indifferently, refilling Cherise’s empty glass with wine.
