?Chapter 728:


    “Marlin loves me the most, after all,” she purred, her wordsced with deliberate emphasis, a barb aimed squarely at Norah.


    Dolores leaned back next to Marlin, shaking his arm, and said sweetly, “Marlin, right?” Marlin responded with a nod.


    Immediately, Dolores smiled sweetly. “Marlin, since you invited Miss Wilson, why don’t you ask her to join us for a drink? It’s a good opportunity to apologize for what happenedst time.”


    Marlin hesitated briefly. Given the rtionship between Norah and his dad, he felt they shouldn’t remain hostile. “Miss Wilson, pleasee and have a drink with us.”


    When Marlin finished speaking, Norah abruptly stood up and opened the door.


    “Darling.”


    A man and a woman were standing at the doorway.


    “Mr. Boyd?” L’s surprised voice broke the silence as she walked into the private room in high heels. “You’re here too?” Marlin nodded expressionlessly.


    Sean had already moved to Norah’s side, holding her hand, silently dering their rtionship.


    “Is Mr. Scott’s girlfriend acquainted with you, Mr. Boyd?” L narrowed her eyes and offered a smile. “What a coincidence! Would you mind if we joined you guys?”


    “Today is my birthday. Would you mind if they joined us?” Dolores eximed to her friends, her tone tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.


    gα?ησν????s?cо??, your storytelling home


    Her friends didn’t seem to care. The more people, the merrier.


    “Marlin, what are your thoughts?”


    Seeing his girlfriend’s crestfallen expression, Marlin hesitated, wanting to refuse them. But instead, he found himself blurting out, “Not at all.”


    Dolores, though discontented, reasoned that she had always maintained obedience andposure in Marlin’s presence. Reluctant to stir up unnecessary conflict, she could only watch as they took their seats.


    Norah and Sean didn’t care. Drinking anywhere was fine as long as they were together.


    Sean quietly introduced L’s background. He didn’t mention the elevator incident, considering it unimportant.


    After entering the private room, L began to observe Norah and Dolores. Both were women involved with wealthy men. Norah was confident and generous, while Dolores was more restrained, clearly from a humble background,cking the polish that came with wealth. Wealthy men typically chose to marry women from rich families. It was clear that Dolores didn’t stand much of a chance. Marlin might soon have a new girlfriend.


    However, it still shocked her that, after so many years, Marlin had finally found a girlfriend, breaking the hearts of many wealthydies.
