Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3626

"He's about to get engaged to Phoebe Evert!" Barton snapped in frustration.

A flash of irritation touched the corner of Miranda's eyes. "Go entertain the Everts."

Despite being chased off, Barton stayed firmly planted on the sofa opposite her. He looked at the tea in front of her and frowned. "You haven't been sleeping well. You shouldn't drink so much tea."

Miranda ignored him.

Realizing he was getting nowhere, Barton spotted Grandpa Foster entering the room and stood up to greet him.

Miranda also stood up. Barton deliberately slowed his pace, waiting for her to step beside him before they walked forward together.

The engagement banquet was about to begin when Carson finally made his fashionably late entrance. He was dressed in his usual style—a slate-blue shirt and a dark suit. The tailored trousers accentuated his tall, striking physique, making him look outrageously handsome.

Seeing the man who was about to become her fiancé, Phoebe felt a massive surge of vanity and satisfaction.

Carson's gaze swept over the crowd. "Is Marina here?"

That single question brought dead silence to the hall.

Rhiannon stepped forward to explain. "Marina had some business to attend to today, so she won't be coming!"

Carson's face cooled. "Please call her, Mrs. Evert, and tell her to get here."

Phoebe's face paled slightly.

Charlotte offered an awkward laugh. "Marina probably just doesn't want to come. Let's not force her!"

Carson sat down on the sofa, his strikingly handsome face arrogant and indifferent. "If she doesn't come, this engagement party is off."

Everyone's expression shifted, especially Phoebe's. Her face turned incredibly ugly, looking so ashen that even the brilliant sparkle of the diamonds around her neck couldn't mask it.
