Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3597

Carson Foster sat beside his mother in a perfectly tailored suit. From her seat, Phoebe Evert had a clear view of his striking, aristocratic profile. The jealousy in her heart began to boil like a raging kettle.

Carson must have been the one who stepped in to help when Marina was being attacked online.

Why would a notorious playboy like him actually settle down for someone like Marina?

Charlotte, however, was focused on something else. She leaned in toward Grandma Evert and whispered, "It looks like the Foster family already knew Marina was Ashen. She kept it a secret from her own flesh and blood. They say a daughter's loyalty shifts once she's married, but she hasn't even walked down the aisle yet and she's already treating them like family while treating us like strangers."

Grandma Evert's smile faded slightly. "Keeping this from us was definitely out of line."

Charlotte cast a sideways, bitter glance. "Mom, do you think Rhiannon knew? Marina is her daughter. There's no way she doesn't know what her own child is up to. What a great performance she put on!"

Grandma Evert glanced at Rhiannon, who was still bubbling with genuine shock and joy. Knowing Rhiannon wasn't the type to scheme, she didn't seem to be faking it.

Charlotte pressed on, "Her side of the family might look innocent, but they keep everything from us. They're full of secrets. Not like us—Phoebe always comes straight to you the second something happens."

Grandma Evert nodded slowly. "Let's just watch the exhibition for now."

A staff member came over to refill their drinks. Thinking back to what Marina had said earlier, Rhiannon suddenly understood everything. "Your service here is absolutely incredible," she praised.

The staff member offered a warm smile. "Ashen specifically requested it. If any of you need anything at all, just let me know. My only job today is to make sure you're well taken care of."

Rhiannon beamed with pride. "Thank you so much!"

Charlotte slammed her juice glass back onto the staff member's tray and turned her head away, her pale face tight with suppressed fury.

Phoebe's expression wasn't much better. She bit her lower lip hard, glaring at Marina sitting next to Nocturne. She just couldn't understand why she was always losing to her cousin.

As the younger generation, Ashen and Nocturne waited until the veteran master artists finished their speeches before introducing themselves.
