NovelEnglishChapter 655:
Memories of the mall encounter resurfaced, along with Carrie's sharp words about Aliza. Marina clenched her
fists, silently cursing Aliza.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice from the house. “Miss Webster, where have you been? Mrs. Webster is
asking where the gifts should go.”
Marina stiffened, her composure returning. “Reece, | should head inside to help,” she said, her tone quieter now.
A shy blush crept across her cheeks as she glanced at Carrie, words hovering on her lips. But instead of
speaking, she turned and followed the servant, her apology swallowed by her pride. Halfway inside, she glanced
back at Carrie.
She tried to apologize, but the words seemed stuck in her throat. In the end, she just walked on inside.
As Marina disappeared into the house, Carrie turned to Reece with a playful grin. “Reece, you're really popular

Reece remained expressionless, brushing off their remarks with a flat tone. “Stop talking bullshit. She's just like a
sister to me. Besides, she moved away when she was younger, and we lost contact.”
Hearing this, Carrie felt a bit more sympathetic towards Marina. It must take a lot of courage to hold onto
feelings for someone for so many years.
“What sister?” Another car pulled up beside them, and Camille stepped out, her face piqued with curiosity.

Since there wasn’t enough space in one car, Camille had cwith Daxton.
Carrie chuckled, folding her arms. “The spoiled princess of the Webster family. She's apparently a childhood
friend of my brother's.”
She turned to Daxton, who had emerged from the car behind Camille. “Remember the woman we ran into at the
mall that day?”
Daxton’s lips curved into his usual gentle smile. “I don’t really remember.”
Reece looked at him, puzzled. “Didn't you meet Marina when you were in Izrosa?”
“Reece, Izrosa is huge. The chances of running into her were slim. Besides, even if | did, | wouldn't have
recognized her,” Daxton replied with a patient sigh.
Reece gave a sheepish smile. “You're right. That was silly of me.”
Inside the elegant Webster villa, Marina handed off the gift she was carrying to the housekeeper. She turned to
leave, but a familiar figure caught her eye. Aliza was stepping out of the restroom, her expression composed and
self-assured as always.
The memory of how Aliza had misled her into believing Carrie was romantically involved with Reece resurfaced
with brutal clarity. Because of that lie, Marina had confronted Carrie unfairly, leaving a bitter stain on her
relationship with the Morrison family.
Now, knowing the truth, Marina couldn't stop her frustration from bubbling over. The Morrison family was

connection with Reece. Her anger flared hotter as she marched over to Aliza in her high heels, her steps echoing
against the polished floor.
“Marina, you—" Aliza began, startled, but the words barely left her lips before—
“Whack!”
