?Chapter 976:


    Sean slowly opened his eyes, casting a nce at the affectionate pair, and clicked his tongue in irritation. He could do little more than watch; after all, one was his sister and the other his assistant.


    After entering the vi, Sean was greeted by a servant.


    “Mr. Scott, Miss Harrison is here.”


    Before Sean could reply, Susanna breezed past him.


    She had only be aware of the mysterious woman her brother was associated with during thest Wilson family banquet. Gossip-hungry tabloids in Glophia were always eager to delve into the scandals of the affluent. Back then, though Sean had not officially introduced Norah as his girlfriend, her presence was well-known within Glophia’s elite circles.


    Marlene now upied the position beside Sean that once belonged to Norah. This irked Susanna, who was determined to confront Marlene face-to-face.


    In the living room, Marlene sat with impable posture, her hands resting on her knees. She asionally cast nces towards the door.


    Her attire was from a high-end designerbel, pristine white and wless. Her long hair fell gracefully over her shoulders, ented by a chic hair clip near her ear. The outfit she wore was worth tens of thousands of dors, a sum she could hardly have fathomed before. Yet, in the wake of her association with Sean, her wildest dreams had materialized.


    At the sound of footsteps at the entrance, Marlene’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. She rose, hopeful it was Sean. However, her excitement waned as a young woman entered instead.


    This neer was also d in luxurious attire, radiating a presence that instantly made Marlene feel outssed.


    The effortless elegance and dignified pride the woman exhibited were qualities Marlene had long strived to emte, yet had never quite mastered.


    The young woman was strikingly beautiful. She approached Marlene and examined her from head to toe. “You are Marlene?”


    rmed, Marlene wondered who this woman could be. She not only knew her name but also moved freely around Sean’s vi. Which affluent family could she belong to?


    “Hello, I’m Marlene Harrison.”


    Trying to hide her anticipation of seeing Sean, Marlene nodded at Susanna with what she hoped was grace. However, her attempt at noble etiquette fell short, bordering on theical.


    Susanna’s eyes swept over Marlene with disdain, settling finally on her face.
