Chapter 426 Pretty Woman

That night, the group of five dined out and later attended the ballet show they had planned.
While Jean wasn’t particularly fond of such events, Penny was brimming with excitement. Not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm, he silently stayed by her side.
During the performance, the auditorium’s lights dimmed, with only the stage shining brightly, casting a soft glow over the audience.
In the flickering light, Jean’s gaze was drawn to Neera.
The dim lighting accentuated her features, making her appear even more stunning. Her eyes were reminiscent of a clear spring, brighter at that moment due to her focus.
He fixed his eyes on her, a smile naturally forming on his face. When he looked away, a gentle laughter twi nkled in his eyes.
Marnie found herself in the hospital, having been unconscious for two hours.
Both the Garcia and Fain families were present in the room, providing comfort and ensuring Marnie was well.

“Grandma, do you still feel uncomfortable? Are you still feeling dizzy?”
“Mom, you gave me such a fright. When I got the news that you’d fainted, I immediately dropped everything to rush here. I’m so relieved that you’re fine!”
After voicing his worry, Alfonso’s expression darkened when he faced Adriana.
He reprimanded her, “What kind of daughter are you? Before this, you hardly visited our parents after coming back. Now, you’d upset her to the point of fainting! Your audacity grows day by day!”
Adriana’s face remained blank as he berated her, choosing not to retort. Deep down, she knew she was responsible for Marnie’s condition.
Susan intervened, urging, “Enough, stop scolding Adriana. She didn’t intend for this to happen. Why are you being so harsh?”
Turning to Adriana, she added, “Your mom is looking forward to you coming home. She’s unwell; aren’t you going to consider coming home? If you don’t, she might get even more upset.”
Everyone’s attention shifted to Adriana at Susan’s words.
Adriana looked conflicted. She frowned and was unsure of how to respond.
Marnie’s frustration intensified upon seeing Adriana’s hesitation.
Enough! Stop persuading her!” she exclaimed. “She can do as she pleases. If she doesn’t wish to return, so be it! She clearly doesn’t value me or our family. Why should she come home? She probably wouldn’t care even if I were gone!”
Qaylah spotted Adriana’s indifferent expression.
were gone!”
Qaylah spotted Adriana’s indifferent expression.
With a gentle smile, she chimed in, “Marnie, you shouldn’t say such things. We all know the kind of person Adriana is. She’s always been a dutiful daughter. I’m sure that she won’t abandon you. Stop saying such things, they might hurt her feelings.”
Susan subtly motioned to Alfonso.
Recognizing his wife’s signal, he let out a heavy sigh.
