What should we do now? The banquet will start in just over half an hour, and Marie still needs to find
an evening gown.
She sat on the couch, worrying and wondering if she should go to Olive’s room to borrow an outfit.
But wearing someone else’s clothes would be quite embarrassing, wouldn’t it?
Torn between choices, Asher walked in and called out, “Marie, girl, come here.”
Marie stood up and walked over, asking, “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong with you? You’ve been looking so worried and haven’t visited Grandpa for days.‘ Asher
complained.
”
“Grandpa, I don’t have a formal dress, so I can’t attend the Hebert family’s banquet.” Marie said.
“Hmph, screw up at the crucial moment,” Asher said.
“Grandpa, are you here just to rub salt in my wounds? I am your dear granddaughter, after all!”
Marie said.
“Ms. Marie, don’t be so worried and upset. Look, what’s this?”
Edward walked up from behind Asher, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hands. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Marie walked over and untied the ribbon on the gift box. Opening it, she found a stunning haute
couture dress inside. Marie’s eyes widened in surprise, “Is this for me?”
“Ms. Marie, who else could it be for? Go ahead and try it on!” Edward said with a smile.
Marie immediately hugged the box and ran back to her room, closing the door to change her
clothes.
When she came down the stairs again, Asher was completely mesmerized.
Marie appeared in a white halter–neck long dress, revealing her delicate shoulders. Her waist was
slender, and the light gauze of the skirt spread out slightly. The hem was adorned with pale pink peach
blossoms, and with each step she took, she exuded an air of elegance.
Her long, dark hair was slightly curled, cascading down to her waist. Her face was adorned with a light
touch of makeup, and her big, twinkling eyes made her look like a fairy who had just stepped out of the
woods.
Asher could hardly believe it. This was his granddaughter who had been silent for eighteen years!
Marie walked downstairs, hugged Asher, and happily said, “Grandpa! Thank you so much! You really
lent a hand in times of trouble! And it fits perfectly, it looks so nice!”

Asher said with a chuckle, “As long as you like it, that’s all that matters.”

Again, she asked, “Marie, how far have you and Dennis progressed in your relationship?”
Marie was taken aback, thinking of Dennis made her angry. He always seemed to lose his temper for
no reason. Annoyed, she said, “What kind of relationship could we possibly have? I’m just a high
school student, I’m not worthy of Mr. Whitney.”
Surprisingly, Asher wasn’t angry. Instead, he said with a smile, “Alright, go ahead. The banquet is
about to begin.”
“Isn’t Grandpa going?” Marie asked.
“I’m getting old and too lazy to move around. You go have fun and see the world.” Asher said.
Maric picked up her purse and headed out the door. Asher even arranged for a driver to take her there.
Marie couldn’t help but wonder what has he got up his sleeves, being so considerate?
At the Hebert residence.
Upon arriving at the banquet hall, Carly excitedly dashed off like a butterfly to find Ira. Meanwhile, Mia
was surrounded by a group of ladies, chatting away and showing off her expensive jewelry and
elegant gown.
She reveled in the praise from everyone around her, thinking about how Marie, that young girl, could
only stay cooped up in the Spence mansion. Her late mother was no match for her either. The
position of Mrs. Spence rightfully belonged to her!
The Spence family’s fortune belongs to her children too! That little wretch better not think about taking
even a single penny of it!
Soon, she will bring about her own downfall and disgrace!
Carly had already found Ira. Today, she was wearing a white mini dress, with her hair styled in
princess curls. She looked like an adorable little princess. Ira had only recently started spending
time with Carly, and seeing her sweet appearance made his heart race.
The two of them squeezed into the small room upstairs. Ira couldn’t help but reach his hand under
Carly’s skirt. With a mix of reluctance and temptation, Carly said, “Ira, don’t do this…”
Ira
was melted to the core by this sweet and gentle voice, saying, “Carly, you’re so beautiful…”
Carly asked, “So, am I the only one in your heart?”
“Of course, once you start college, we’ll get engaged, and when you graduate, we’ll get married. I
want to give you the best of everything.” Ira said with deep affection.
Carly’s heart bloomed with happiness as she leaned in to kiss Ira.

Suddenly recalling the day Marie said she went on a date with Ira, I hesitated for a moment and asked,
“Ira, do you still remember my friend Marie?”
“You mean that fatso Marie?” Ira said with disdain, feeling nauseated just thinking about Marie’s flabby
body and disheveled appearance.
Carly hesitated for a moment and said, “Ira, Marie has changed, don’t talk about her like that.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything more. I’ll listen to you. But no matter how different she is, you’re
the only one in my eyes.” Ira promised.
Carly leaned into Ira’s embrace with a charming smile and said, “Ira, you’re so wonderful.”
The two people spent quite some time being affectionate with each other before finally coming
downstairs.
