“Uncle Marlon”
Davina blinked, surprised.
Don’t this the old man who collapsed on the road lay timet
Marlon offered her a warm sinile. T heard from Jude that I’d get the clunce to meet my lifesaver today. So, I thought I’d come and see for myself. I didn’t expect this place to be so lively,”
Sacha’s gaze shified, growing skeptical, “Lifesaver?” It seemed like she was starting to piece things together. Her eyes moved to Davina, her expression questioning.
- gh. “On my way back last time, I ran into him.”
Davina let out a light laugh
Marlon looked at Davina with affection, playfully teasing her. “Mother Teresa reborn.”
Davina couldn’t help but bagh.
“That’s right, Mother Teresa reborn,” she agreed.
When she had helped Marlon back then, she never imagined they would meet again.
She hadn’t expected to form any kind of relationship with him at all. Yet here they were, familiar faces–not just anyone, elders from Jude’s family.
Jude laughed softly, “Grandpa, see? I told you you’d meet her again.”
Though his words were aimed at Marlon, his gaze was fixed on Davina.
but
This moment caught the attention of all the high–society families at the event, who now viewed Harlow Group’s daughter in a completely different light
Not only was she incredibly beautiful and graceful, but here she was, chatting with Marion like an old friend, even earning his
admiration
The connections she seemed to have were enough to make the other young women in the room feel both envious and jealous.
After all, Marlon was practically a legend–his name rarely made the news, but when it did, it was always spoken of with awe
It was even said that a single word from him could alter the course of an entire family’s future.
He hardly ever appeared in public.
And yet, here he was, attending an event for Harlow Group’s daughter. That alone spoke volumes about how highly he regarded Davina.
Kennedy gave Davina a glance, his expression a mix of surprise and something close to pleasure.
Thomas and Kate were utterly shocked.
The daughter they had once dismissed was now the talk of the town, the one everyone seemed to adore. It wasn’t just the other high–society families–even the Barlows were now receiving special privileges because of her connection to Marlon
How could they not feel a sting of jealousy? Their hearts were heavy with frustration, unable to grasp the irony of the situation.
As Davina stood in the spotlight, drawing the attention of so many, like the sun at the center of a galaxy, her four brothers felt
a Blood of mixed emotions.
“How does she know so many people? Cassia wondered aloud, clearly confused.

Lewis’s voice was low and serious. That’s something you should ask her.”
He did Droina know all these powerful people?
Hair now began to understand why Jude had been so eager to help her on set.
“But she just got out of prison – Where would she have had the time to meet all these people?” Lewis muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.
Sacha shot Davina a playful look. “Why didn’t you tell me this?”
Though the Barlows and the Wilsons had a business relationship, that was all it was–strictly business. It was unheard of for anyone in their circle to have personal access to someone like Marlon.
So, Sacha felt completely overschelmed by the attention.
The Barlows had truly risen in prominence tonight.
Sacha quickly moved forward, suggesting Percy escort Marlon to a quiet area to rest
She knew that someone like Marlon wasn’t fond of public events; he had only come out of respect for Davina.
Marlon didn’t protest, but as he turned to leave, he cast a lingering, meaningful glance at Jude and Davina.
Once Marlon had departed, Jude smirked and turned his gaze to Sacha “Aunt Sacha, when it comes to connections, I’m probably closer to Davina than anyone else. So, if Davina needs me to look after her, handle it. No need for anyone else.” His words, filled with a mix of arrogance and subtle possessiveness, hung in the air.
Kennedy smiled, his tone light but layered with meaning. “Well, you’re practically family. It’s different.”
The tension between the two men was clear, their personalities clashing in a subtle but unmistakable way.
Davina looked between them, momentarily unsure of how their conversation had taken a turn into what seemed like a quiet
confrontation.
Sacha seemed to sense it, offering a quick smile to smooth things over.
“Well, of course
the more the merrier, right? Hahaha… You can, bath take care of Davina”
