Mary took Cherise outside. “Come on, our Jarrett family isn’t that strict. You can grab whatever you like to eat. Since you’ve already gotten married, you’re part of the Jarrett family now.
“So, even though we don’t have many rules, still pay attention to basic manners and appearance. Just like me. But you
She looked Cherise up and down and muttered to herself, “Can’t really find any flaws. You’re quite attractive… really looks a lot like Megan.”
Although she spoke softly, Cherise still heard it, asking, “Do we really look that similar?”
Mary nodded absentmindedly, whispering, “Yes, very similar. Then she snapped out of it. “Oh, no, what am I talking about?
Just stay by my side, ok? The place is enormous, and if you get lost, Morris will be upset with me. There are a lot of people, and I’m not sure if you’re into socializing, you don’t seem to talk much.
“Some people, you know, just have social anxiety. Ah, never mind, just stick with me. Come on, let’s go.”
Mary said this as she reached out to grab Cherise’s wrist. “Wow, your wrist is so slender. It might be tough when you have kids, Has Morris not been feeding you?”
Cherise couldn’t help but smile, letting her wrist be held. She thought. The old lady is just a charming chatterbox”
Inside the house, Morris remained silent.
Lucas looked at him and said, “You’re going to have a wedding, right?”
“Of course,” Morris replied quickly.
Lucas nodded in satisfaction and then added. “And about your real father, all these years, he’s been cheating people using our family’s name. I wonder what was wrong with your mom’s eyes back then.
“Luckily, your uncle spoke up. Only those without foresight would dare do business with him in Clusia. But I heard he disapproves of your marriage. What do you think about this?”
Morris let out a cold snort, “Grandpa, what do you think about making him disappear from the world?”
Lucas didn’t reply, just sipping his coffee. His expression didn’t change, making it unclear if he agreed or not.
Outside, Mary was leading Cherise away. Everyone’s perception of Cherise changed when they saw Mary holding her wrist. But some people felt differently like it was a thorn in their side.
Suddenly, many people wanted to build connections. Whether it was with Mary or Cherise, getting to know either of them better seemed beneficial.
Seeing so many people around, even those who were initially hesitant found the courage to join in. In no time, a large crowd gathered around Cherise and Mary.
“Mrs. Jarrett, congratulations, your granddaughter–in–law is here to see your
“Mrs. Chivers, I’m also à professor at Betrico University. Can we exchange contact information?”
‘Madam, you might be a great–grandmother very soon.”
“Mrs. Chivers, my son is an executive at Chivers Group.”

It was indeed lively, and Cherise was separated from Mary. She found herself quite a distance from Mary.
Someone pushed forward, and a well–dressed lady at the front bumped into Mary.
Mary lost her balance and started to slip. Everyone who saw it held their breath. Instead of helping, people began to back
away.
After all, elderly people’s bones were fragile, and nobody wanted to be blamed by her youngest son. If anything happened. they thought it was best to let Cherise, who had come with Mary, handle it
Jean got nervous, almost screaming. Luckily, Cherise quickly pushed through the people in front and caught Mary around the waist. She helped steady her safely on the lawn. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Mary stared at her, feeling a stronger emotion than anyone else. To others, it might have seemed like simple support, but in fact, Cherise had lifted Mary off the ground.
Mary thought. Even though she looks thin and weak, who would have known she has so much strength?”
Jean raced over, asking. ‘Grandma, I’m relieved that you’re alright. Luckily, Cherise was here, or Mr. Jarrett would definitely have scolded me. Threatening but not dangerous.
Mary looked at Cherise with a warmer gaze. She thought, “Megan used to protect me in the same way.”
“Um, thank you, Morris’s wife,” she whispered, but Cherise heard her clearly.
Then Mary spoke up loudly, “Jean, why don’t you take your cousin–in–law and show her a good time while I chat with some relatives.”
Jean nodded. “Sure, got it! Come on, let’s grab something to cat
With that, she took Cherise by the hand and led her to the buffet table, which was lavishly arranged with a wine fountain. Cherise was indeed feeling a bit hungry, so she picked up a small piece of cake and took a bite.
Yulia and Rita stood together, accompanied by Alice, Lisa, and several young ladies from prominent families.
Lisa glanced at Yulia next to her, then leaned over to whisper something to a young lady named Amy Huber standing beside
her.
After finishing her sentence, Amy smiled and walked over to Cherise with a glass of red wine.
