Chapter 671:
Taking a sip of her wine, Norah quickly interrupted Yolande’s thoughts. “No. We weren't,” she clarified.
“Okay, that’s a relief. Are you a friend of Marlin then? Why haven't | seen you before?” Yolande pressed,
scrutinizing Norah. “You're so beautiful. | would have remembered you if I'd seen you.”
Eager to change the subject, Norah asked, “Will he show up tonight?”
“Of course, he will,” Yolande replied, her eyes wide with certainty. “He has sbusiness to attend to, so he'll be

noise.
Yolande, unfazed by the noise, shrugged. “It must be Marlin. Do you wantto call him over?”
“No, we'll see each other later,” Norah replied, her curiosity piqued about how he had changed over the years.
The noise grew louder, and Norah glanced up to see Marlin at the center of the crowd.
He wore a sleek black suit, his hair perfectly styled, exuding a cold, unapproachable aura. Standing tall, his
presence was commanding, especially with his long legs and sharply defined features.
Marlin’s left hand was slightly bent, as if shielding someone. “Don’t get any closer,” he commanded coldly to the
surrounding crowd, but they continued to flock to him like moths to a flame, causing him to frown with
impatience.
“It's strange,” Yolande remarked. “Why do | feel like Marlin has someone with him?”
For Yolande, today’s turn of events was quite unusual. As Marlin drew closer, they saw a petite woman in a pink
skirt by his side. With delicate makeup and moist eyes, she clung timidly to Marlin, creating a striking contrast
between his aloofness and her fragility. Together, they made an unexpectedly perfect pair.
“Damn it! Marlin has a girlfriend too?” Yolande exclaimed in disbelief.

She watched, stunned, as Marlin escorted the woman into the hall. Coming to her senses, Yolande quickly
downed a glass of champagne, the strong taste making her shudder.
Hans had revealed his girlfriend not long ago. Was Marlin going public with his girlfriend today?
“It’s only been half a month since | last saw Marlin. He moves too fast!”
Norah, rubbing the glass with her index finger, observed Marlin’s back coldly. He hadn’t spared her a single
glance, focusing entirely on the woman beside him.
“Miss Boyd, why are you following me?” Norah asked, turning her attention to the visibly angry Yolande.
