Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 4

Her words had been so earnest that he thought there might be more to the story, so he agreed to her request.

However, the answers he got were all consistent. Although the surveillance footage was unclear, all the maids said Mira had pushed her and that Mara was the innocent victim.-

He had been incredibly disappointed. He went to see Mira again, told her the results, and hoped she would admit her mistake on her own.

He could still recall the look of utter disbelief and devastation on Mira's face at that moment.

Now, only a day had passed, and Mira's reaction was completely different.

Was this genuine remorse, or...

Ethan couldn't help but turn back to look at her.

The girl's head was slightly bowed, her thin frame almost blending into the darkness. The expression on her face was obscured.

Her unfamiliar demeanor made Ethan's heart tighten.

The call he made went unanswered.

“Hold on, I'll go upstairs and find our parents.”

He turned and strode away, a hint of confusion in his posture.

At that moment, a grand welcome party was underway at the Mercer family's villa.

In the magnificent ballroom, crystal chandeliers sparkled dazzlingly. Priceless works of art adorned the walls, and a thick red carpet covered the floor.

The guests were dressed in their finest attire, holding champagne glasses and chatting cheerfully.

The Mercers were one of Melvion City’s wealthiest families, and their guests were all prominent figures from various sectors of society, gathered to witness this special occasion.

This welcome party was, in itself, a major social event.

It was not only meant to lay the foundation for Mara's entry into high society but also to showcase the family's power and influence.

Ethan ascended the stairs, warmly greeting guests along the way.

He wore a faint smile, his demeanor calm and natural.

“Mr. Mercer Jr. truly is the eldest son of the family. Every move he makes exudes style.”

“All the Mercer children are top-notch, every one of them is exceptional, the best of the best!”
