By the way, Wie, you’ve been back in habilite for a few days now. Tonight, we’re having dinner at Murray Estate, so you should come meet Alex, Yara said warmly.
Wette blinked, and she answered nonchalantly, “Alright.”
“Thave a business engagement tonight, so I can’t join you guys. Yara, you’ll have to take the kids to Murray Estate,” Irwin said while parring her hand gentl
His eves were filled with tendemess. “If you feel unwell at any point, call me immediately.”
“Alright, alright, don’t act so lovey dovey in front of the kids!” Yata scolded Irwin playfully, though her eyes were filled with joy as she glanced at him
Wette couldn’t help but smile seeing them so harmonious.
However, Yasmin glanced around with a hint of malice in her eyes.
Alex always doted on her the most. Tonight, she would ensure he taught Yvette a lesson for all the humiliation she had endured recently.
By evening, they arrived at Murray Estate.
“Welcome Mr. Murray Senior has been waiting for you all,” a housekeeper said, leading them toward the hall.
Yvette, Grandpa is quite strict. If he says anything that upsets you, just ignore him. I’ll stand up for you,” Sean whispered in Yvette’s ear.
Wette was touched by Sean’s thoughtfulness and smiled at him.
Yasmim’s jealousy grew atter seeing their interaction. “Haph, smile while you can,” she thought. Soon, she’d make sure Yvette wouldn’t be able to smile anymore.

“No, Grandpa. No one’s mistreating me. I’m doing just fine,” she replied.
Seusing the tension, Yara quickly stepped forward. She explained, “Alex, Irwin and I treat Yasmin like our own daughter. We’d never let her
“That may have been true before,” Alex said as his disapproving gaze landed on Yvette. He snorted. “But things are different now.”
Yvette met his eyes without flinching. Her calm gaze was confident and unwavering,
In the end, Alex looked away first, flustered How could Yvette have such a strong presence?
“Are you alright, Grandpa?” Yasmin quickly supported Alex, and her concem was evident.
Alex’s face darkened as he waved her ott. He lowered his voice, saying, “I’m fine, don’t worry. Anyone who bullies you will be dealt with.”
Hearing this, Yasmin’s face lit up with a sing smile. She couldn’t wait to see that bitch, Yvette get what she deserved.
“Alright, everyone. Let’s sit and eat,” Alex said.
“Yes, Alex” Yara nodded and gestured for everyone to take their seats. “Come on, let’s eat,”
