NovelEnglishChapter 879
After spending stat the filming location, the group returned to their hotel.
Christine suddenly remembered something.
"Her husband is so rich, and she is too, yet she only gavea 1% discount!" she exclaimed.
Bella chuckled. "I didn't get any discount at all. If she gave you one, you two must really get along."
"When she was young, she was raised by her grandfather at the Hawthornes' estate. But the Hawthornes is a big
family, full of internal squabbles. Later, she married Quentin, but he's often away, so she doesn't have much
support."
"If she hadn't becfamous early on, she'd probably have struggled financially. It's understandable that she's
tight with money."
Christine tucked her hands into her pockets. "We hit it off right away, probably because we've been through
similar experiences."
Jane gave Christine a comforting hug. "It's all in the past now."
"Yeah, it's all in the past."
After spending five days enjoying St. Petersburg, the group returned to Vista Town.
A week later, it was tfor Dailey's birthday party.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGregory was planning to attend.
This birthday was a significant event for Dailey.
Jane, being his wife, was to accompany him.
"Isn't Christine coming along for sfun?" Gregory teased.
Jane gave him a sideways glance. "You just want to stir things up."
Gregory played with her hand. "The Carters will be there too."
"The Carters?"
"They're the next family the Clarksons are considering for an alliance."
Jane furrowed her brow. "I wasn't born into the Clarkson family, so I can't say much, but is it really okay to force
things like this?"
Gregory replied, "This is already considered late. As soon as Dailey returned from his training at eighteen, they
started scouting."
"The freedom they've had all these years, it's coming to an end."
Jane knew she couldn't interfere with others’ destinies. She just hoped Dailey wouldn't cause any more trouble
with Christine.
Dailey's birthday was anything but low-key.
Christine couldn't avoid knowing about it; the news was everywhere online.
So, she chose to ignore her phone and quietly watched a movie instead.
Meanwhile, Jane met the young lady from the Carter family, who was set to be engaged to Dailey.
"Libby Carter," Gregory whispered in her ear.
Libby was a completely different type compared to Serena.
et
Serena, true to her name, was focused and efficient in her actions, though also quite cunning. She never openly
fought for what she wanted but used subtle tactics instead, always appearing as if she was the untainted
beneficiary.
Libby, on the other hand, seemed gentle and soft-spoken. Her appearance suggested she hailed from a family of
scholars rather than one of politics and business. Her gaze at Dailey was full of affection.
"No wonder Chris needs more tto win over Dailey. He's used to being pursued," Jane thought.
Not only was Dailey decently good-looking and tall, but his family background was also enough to attract
attention.
Unlike Gregory, who was known for his sharp tongue and ruthless methods, Dailey always had girls around him.
But none were as direct as Christine.
Even if a well-bred young lady
someone, she'd hold back anet
She'd hint first and only make

move once she was sure the other party was interested.
Gregory believed it was only natural for Dailey to like Christine, and that they'd be entangled for life.
"Greg's here," Jane noted as she spotted Gregory.
Jayne, holding a glass of wine, cover. "Jane, you look thinner. Don't diet too much. Eat more."
Jane smiled politely. "Thank you for your concern, Godmother. | just can't seem to gain weight."
Gregory sighed tically. "You have no idea, Godmother. | wish she'd gain a bit more weight. Now when | hold
her..."
Jane quickly covered Gregory's mouth.
Jayne, understanding them from her own experience, knew what he meant. Seeing them happy, she secretly
wished for Dailey's happiness too.
