Chapter 976:
Sean slowly opened his eyes, casting a glance at the affectionate pair, and clicked his tongue in irritation. He
could do little more than watch; after all, one was his sister and the other his assistant.
After entering the villa, Sean was greeted by a servant.
“Mr. Scott, Miss Harrison is here.”
Before Sean could reply, Susanna breezed past him.

She had only becaware of the mysterious woman her brother was associated with during the last Wilson
family banquet. Gossip-hungry tabloids in Glophia were always eager to delve into the scandals of the affluent.
Back then, though Sean had not officially introduced Norah as his girlfriend, her presence was well-known within
Glophia’s elite circles.
Marlene now occupied the position beside Sean that once belonged to Norah. This irked Susanna, who was
determined to confront Marlene face-to-face.
In the living room, Marlene sat with impeccable posture, her hands resting on her knees. She occasionally cast
glances towards the door.
Her attire was from a high-end designer label, pristine white and flawless. Her long hair fell gracefully over her
shoulders, accented by a chic hair clip near her ear. The outfit she wore was worth tens of thousands of dollars, a
sum she could hardly have fathomed before. Yet, in the wake of her association with Sean, her wildest dreams
had materialized.
At the sound of footsteps at the entrance, Marlene’s eyes sparkled with anticipation. She rose, hopeful it was
Sean. However, her excitement waned as a young woman entered instead.
This newcomer was also clad in luxurious attire, radiating a presence that instantly made Marlene feel
outclassed.
The effortless elegance and dignified pride the woman exhibited were qualities Marlene had long strived to
emulate, yet had never quite mastered.

The young woman was strikingly beautiful. She approached Marlene and examined her from head to toe. “You
are Marlene?”
Alarmed, Marlene wondered who this woman could be. She not only knew her nbut also moved freely
around Sean's villa. Which affluent family could she belong to?
“Hello, I'm Marlene Harrison.”
Trying to hide her anticipation of seeing Sean, Marlene nodded at Susanna with what she hoped was grace.
However, her attempt at noble etiquette fell short, bordering on the comical.
Susanna’s eyes swept over Marlene with disdain, settling finally on her face.
