“Sure!” Shane readily agreed.

Terence was highly impressed with Emmanuel, who had extensive knowledge of medicine and a commendable
sense of reading the room. Only women like Hannah, who had never been married, would look down upon such a
man!
After Emmanuel left, Terence sat with the old lady in a corner and happily chatted about the town’s happenings.
Shane also wanted to strike up a conversation with Red but didn’t know what to say.
If he talked about everyday life, would she consider him old-fashioned? But if he talked about deeper topics, would
she think he was showing off?
He pondered for a moment and found himself unable to speak due to overthinking.
At that moment, a tall and young girl walked in. Shane’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw her!
The girl appeared to be 18 or 19 years old, bearing a 70% resemblance to Red. However, she was taller and had a

shorts, revealing a pair of fair and long legs.
She was like an upgraded version of Red!
“Marilyn, you’re back?” Red greeted her sister with a smile.
The old lady, on the other hand, angrily tapped her cane and scolded loudly, “You little troublemaker. Where have
you been wandering around? You didn’t come home all day! I thought you were going to spend the night with a
man again!”
Marilyn immediately pouted and retorted, “Grandma, you just don’t like me, do you? You scold me as soon as I’m
back, but I’ve never seen you scold Red!”
The old lady defended herself, “Your sister is sensible. She goes to work and earns money to support me! Why
would I scold her? You don’t do anything productive all day and fool around with those men at night. I wish I could
knock some sense into you, you little troublemaker!”
As she spoke, she even raised her cane to frighten Marilyn.
“Come on! Come and knock some sense into me!” Marilyn had a rebellious look on her face. Not only did she not
back down, but she also stepped forward and said, “Since we’re so poor, life is meaningless! We can’t buy anything
or enjoy anything! I hate this family so much!”
“You-” The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted.
Then, Terence quickly comforted her, “Madam, the little girl doesn’t know any better. Don’t get so worked up.”
Red and Shane also hurried over to pacify her.
Not only did Marilyn not appreciate Terence speaking up for her, but she also glanced at him and Shane and
sneered, “Grandma, you’re biased! When I brought my friends back, you chased them away with a broom. But look
at what kind of people Red brought back. An old guy and a young one, both ugly and poor. Yet you’re laughing and
talking with them. What’s the reasoning behind this?”
The old lady was furious and swung her cane at Marilyn as she shouted angrily, “Get out! Get out of this house!”
Shane felt a sudden pang of sympathy when he saw Marilyn being unjustly treated. He quickly walked over to her
with Red and asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
“Get lost!” Marilyn completely ignored their concern. After seeing the burning gaze in Shane’s eyes, she mocked
coldly, “Hey fatty, do you like me? I’m guessing you like my long legs, huh? Aren’t they longer than my sister’s?”
Shane’s face instantly turned red, and he said shakily, “Miss, please don’t say such things! I like your sister-Ah,
damn it! Why did I blurt out the secret?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRed’s face also turned red in an instant. She knew that Shane liked her, but it was so embarrassing for him to
actually say it out loud!
She didn’t feel any romantic feelings toward him, but they could still be friends. She was just worried that after he
said this, their future interactions would become awkward.
“Ha! Men are all hypocrites. You think I don’t know that?” Marilyn intentionally bumped her arm against his and said
provocatively, “Give me 400, and I’ll sleep with you tonight. How about that?”
Oh my God!
Shane suddenly tensed up all over.
Why is she so direct? Her grandma and sister are present. How am I supposed to respond to her?
And isn’t 400 a bit too expensive? Will it make me look stingy if I negotiate the price?
“Go to hell! I’ll kill you, you shameless little brat!”
The old lady was completely enraged as her face turned beet red, and she started cursing while attempting to run
over to hit Marilyn.
Marilyn made a face, turned around, and ran out. But before leaving, she taunted, “Hey, old man and fatty!
Regardless of whether you want to seduce my grandma or my sister, with your poor and pathetic appearance, you
should save your efforts. I’m not interested in either one of you!”
