The look on Joelle's face froze. She was not expecting Alice to agree with what she suggested so quickly.She thought that Alice would at least pretend and say something to stop her from leaving.However, she was wrong about everything!'It seems like she doesn't want me to be her daughter-in-law anymore.'Has she really accepted Molly?'No! Why?! How is Molly better than me?!'Joelle's anger boiled inside her as her eyes watered. She felt mistreated, and she had the urge to cry.However, she did not dare to reveal too much of her emotions in front of Alice. She was the one who suggested quitting, after all.So, she tried her best and put on a smile before thanking them, "Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, thank you for your understanding. I'll be going back to work for my grandpa tomorrow, then. I'm going to organize a banquet after I go back, and I'll send an invitation to you. I hope that both of you can make some time to attend."I'm sure that grandpa will be very happy if both of you
At dinner, Sean just would not stop putting food on Molly and the triplet's plates. "You got skinnier. Eat more!" he said."No. I'm trying to lose weight."Molly put the chicken breast meat back on Sean's plate after saying that."You're already very skinny." Sean comforted her and gave her back the meat."Hm. I actually got two pounds heavier. You just can't tell," Molly said and put the meat back on his plate again. That piece of meat looked very oily, and there was just no way that Molly would eat it. It just felt too sinful for Molly to put that into her belly.The triplets, who were sitting beside them, could not stand to see them going back and forth like that anymore."I’ll eat it if mommy doesn't want to!"The little one grunted and spoke. Then, he took the meat from Sean and placed it on his own before demolishing it with one bite."Hm. Mr. Butler is such a good cook. It's delicious." He gave it a thumbs-up after eating it.Sean and Molly were amused. After that, they
Joelle clenched her fists and nodded. "Yes.""And why is that?""I want to help my grandpa to take care of his business. After all, he's getting old now. I want to make his job easier." Joelle replied without even thinking. However, her heart felt like it was being poked by a needle.It was obvious that the way Sean looked at her and treated her was very different compared to Molly.Preferential treatment like this was something that upset her the most!However, Sean had no idea what was going on in Joelle's mind. He said generously after making sure that Joelle really wanted to leave, "Hand over your work to Tony before getting your salary from the HR Department. After that, you're free to leave."Sean spoke very firmly.His indifferent expression showed no sign of reluctance to let her go.Joelle felt tightness in her chest. She badly wanted to ask Sean if he really did not care that she was going to leave.However, she thought that it would not be appropriate for her to do
Molly paused and shook her head. "I'm not going, Sean. Miss Herring invited the Anderson family, not me…""Don't worry. I'm bringing my companion, it's only reasonable." Sean knew Molly would say that, so he rejected her idea."But…" Molly still did not want to go.Sean knew that Molly was reluctant because she was not invited, and she was too shy to attend the banquet with him!After all, they still had not publicized their relationship.If they showed up together, that only meant that they were telling everyone that they were in a relationship!So, Sean raised his hand and brushed Molly's head as if she was a kitten. "Just go with me. You know just many heiresses will attend banquets like this. Do you really want them to approach me?""Hah!"Molly was amused. "Tch, get over yourself."However, Molly knew that Sean was right. There were countless women that were attracted to him because of his status.Obviously, Molly did not want to see other women getting close to him. She
The longer Sean stared at Molly, the more he felt that he was in love with her.Every strand of Molly's hair was perfect to him, let alone her facial expressions.So, Sean immediately pushed himself over to her and extended his right arm in an inviting manner like a gentleman. "Miss, may I have the honor to have you as my companion in the banquet tonight?""Pfft!" Molly laughed. She had already changed into the gown, so she was obviously not going to reject him.So, she said, "The pleasure is mine."She then placed her hand into Sean's warm palm.The both of them then headed to the banquet together.At that moment, there were many top-class social elites gathered in Vierra Hotel's banquet hall. Countless wealthy entrepreneurs attended, and the banquet was grand!Mr. Herring Sr. was sitting in a luxurious wooden chair as he did not walk around a lot. Joelle was wearing a light blue gown, standing next to her grandfather as she greeted every guest welcomingly.She was radiating
Molly bit her lips as she anxiously asked, "What are you going to say if they ask about me?""I'll just tell them that you're my fiancé." Sean held her hand tightly with a calm and affirmative expression.There was nothing for him to hide. Since he took her to the banquet, it already meant that he wanted to tell everyone that Molly was his woman!Sean had already prepared to show Molly to the world.When Molly heard him, her eyes started to tear up. The worries she had were immediately wiped out by her man's assurance!'Yeah, Sean isn't scared, so why should I be afraid?'So, she gathered all the courage she had and entered the banquet hall with Sean.As soon as they opened the door, everyone's gaze was turned to them.Sean was in a black suit while Molly was in a white gown. Standing together, they looked incredibly graceful, classy, and sophisticated!From afar, they looked like a match that was beautifully made in heaven that overshadowed everyone that was present in the ba
However, this was extremely painful for Joelle to watch!Joelle had scanned Molly from head to toe the minute Molly showed up.When Joelle realized that Molly was looking way better than her, to the point where she was almost breathtaking, Joelle was livid!'This b*tch! Doesn't she know that my family is the highlight of this banquet?!''Why is she dressed so beautifully? She just wants the attention!'Obviously, Joelle could only keep these thoughts in her head.She still remained a friendly smile as she greeted Molly, "I didn't expect you to come, Miss May. Welcome!""Miss May?"Mr. Herring Sr. looked over and stared at Molly. He then looked at Sean and immediately connected the dots.He did not back down and asked, "Sean, Miss Molly is…"Sean had never planned to hide Molly's identity, so he introduced her with a calm expression. "Mr. Herring Sr., this is Molly May, the daughter of the May family. She's also my… fiancée."'Fiancée?'Joelle's jaw was almost on the ground
It was just impossible for Molly to stand next to Sean without getting judged by other people.So, all the people who attended the banquet looked at her without even hiding it.However, Molly could not care less about them. She just stood there, unbothered by their opinions of her.She would lean beside Sean's ear to talk and chuckle with him from time to time. Their sweet interaction had made many guests envious.Joelle, who was standing close by, saw them too. She got so furious that she almost had bloodshot eyes.'Molly May!''Who is she to be here? Who is she to be standing next to Sean? She came from such a cheap family, and she doesn't deserve to be loved by Sean!'Joelle thought to herself as her face twisted in an ugly way from all the jealousy and bitterness that she was feeling."Joelle, are you okay?"Mr. Herring Sr. approached Joelle from behind while holding his cane. He could not help but feel worried after seeing the look on Joelle's face."Grandpa."Joelle re
