Chapter 425 Isn’t Martin Your Fiancé?
Paige opened the one from Caroline and saw an ocean blue necklace with 98 small diamonds and one big diamond
“This necklace is a gift I received from my mother on my eighteenth birthday.” Caroline smiled, “It’s now yours.”
This treasure had been passed down to daughters in her family for generations. Caroline was its fifth owner.
However, she was willing to give this necklace to Paige. It meant that Caroline really liked her.
Paige could tell that this necklace was very valuable. It had nice clarity and color.
“The diamonds are 666 karats. It’s a great number,” Caroline looked at Paige lovingly. “I hope you will achieve
whatever you want. Just
like the blessing you wrote, you’re meant to be great.”
“This gift is too precious. I can’t take it.” Paige can tell the value and significance of this necklace. It was around 160
million dollars.
“I’m giving it to you. You must take it.” Caroline didn’t give her a chance to refuse. She changed the topic. “Let’s
see what Wilfred has
gotten for you.”
Wilfred’s gift was a key with gems and the Stowe family’s emblem engraved on it. It was exquisite and priceless.
It could open the Stowe family’s secret base and the safe box that Wilfred and Caroline stored in a foreign bank.
Wilfred felt that since Paige had joined the family, he should treat her as a member of this family. He and Caroline
often traveled around the world. If something happened to them, with this key, Paige could inherit everything that
the couple had.
“Fortunately, it is not jewelry. Paige has only one neck,” Martin joked.
I have given Paige bracelets, hand chains, and necklaces. Grandma gave her an heirloom, and Paige’s brother has

of jewelry…
Paige can’t wear so many pieces of jewelry at one time.
Everyone was amused by him. Seeing that Paige was still unwilling to accept it, he said softly. “They are gifts from
Dad and ****, so
just accept it. It’s alright.”
Finally, Paige accepted the two gifts. They chatted pleasantly for a long time before leaving the room.
On the first floor of the restaurant.
Patricia was eating with a few friends. And she happened to see Killian and Rosa walk out of the elevator. Her eyes
lit up. Patricia was about to go forward to greet them, but she saw Martin and Paige behind them.
Martin said something to Paige in a low voice. Paige whispered a few words to him. They looked very intimate..
Patricia also saw Wilfred and Caroline. After they walked out of the elevator, they talked and laughed around Paige.
They seemed to
like their future daughter-in-law very much.
The fork in Patricia’s hand suddenly fell. She couldn’t tell whether she was stunned, shocked, or sad.
Janel Hadfield, who was sitting next to her, also saw this scene. Janel almost spat out the drink in her ***.
“Patricia, look! Isn’t that Martin? Why is he holding hands with another woman?”
Hearing that, Patricia’s other friends hurriedly looked in that direction. And they were stunned.
“Who is that wornan? She seems to be about our age….
“Are the two behind them Martin’s parents? She has met his parents?”
“My goodness. Martin has gone too far. He is engaged to you. How could he hook up with another woman?”
“The two in front are not Martin’s grandparents, are they? No. I must be mistaken… I remember that Martin’s
grandmother is in-a- vegetative state…”
“Patricia, isn’t Martin your fiancé? What exactly is going on?”
Patricia didn’t know how to answer these questions. She only said disappointedly. “Stop it.”
Her friends looked at her with sympathy in their eyes.
No one would feel comfortable seeing her fiancé with another woman…
“Patricia, all men are like this. They will have a lot of fun before they get married. After getting married, they will
stop fooling around.”
“You haven’t registered your marriage. Just let hirn have fun for two more years. When you graduate and marry
into the Stowe family,
other women will stay away from him.”
“He’s Martin. Just forgive him. There are so many women flirting with him. It means he is attractive.”
“After he dates all those women, he will find that you are the best. When the time comes, he will give you all his
attention.”
What they said didn’t make Patricia feel better. She looked at them and asked sadly. “If I were not the daughter of
the Lusk family.
would you still be friends with me?”
“Patricia, what are you talking about? We make friends with you because of you, not your background!”
“Yes. Ms. Koum goes to the same school as us, but I don’t care about her.”
“Patricia, do you have any trouble? If something bothers you, you can tell us. We will help you solve it.”
Patricia hesitated several times, but she didn’t say anything. She was no longer in the mood to eat, so she didn’t eat
much.
On the way back to school.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatricia received a call from Amily. She said that in one or two days, Martin’s parents would visit the Lusk’s home.
Amily asked her to ask for leave and go home. She hoped Patricia could impress Martin’s parents and defeat
Paige…
In that case, Patricia would turn the situation around.
However, Patricia recalled how Martin’s parents
couldn’t take Paige’s place.
re talking and laughing with Paige. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she
Everyone in the Stowe family likes Paige. Martin’s parents and grandparents seem to like her very much….
Amily tried to persuade Patricia not to give up. She also said that during the days when Paige was away from home,
Donald and Danica missed Paige very much. They mentioned Paige more times than Patricia.
It meant that her parents’ concern for Paige had increased, while Patricia had become less important.
Amily also said Patricia’s position in the family would be taken by Paige gradually.
“Ms. Patricia, you are so kind. You want to let go of the past with her. You gave her food and drinks and sent her
messages to ask about her well-being. You have done so many things. But has she ever responded to you?
“To put it bluntly, she doesn’t need a sister now. Your existence will only threaten her position in the family….
“Ms. Patricia, you should get tough….
“You have been humble, but what you got in return is more and more disdain and contempt from the whole
family…”
Amily’s words echoed in Patricia’s mind. Patricia didn’t know what she had done wrong Why is it so hard to become
a better person…
Do I need to continue?
The next afternoon.
Paige arrived at the place that Caroline had arranged at the appointed time.
It was a restaurant that was well-known on the internet. It had large French windows that allowed one to admire the
largest Ferris wheel in America at close range. The beautiful sea made one feel relaxed.
