Reborn to My Engagement Night
Chapter 174 Have No Shame
Almost simultaneously, Sebastian and Madelyn frowned.
Meanwhile, Marsha was thrilled to see Harriet, as if she had stumbled upon a treasure. “Harriet?”
“Mdm. Marsha, you’re here too?” When Harriet entered, a hint of a smile finally graced her icy
countenance,

“Oh my, Harriet, when did you return? Why didn’t you let me know?” Martha said, stepping forward excitedly and swiftly grabbing Harriet’s wrist,
Harriet also chuckled, holding Marsha’s hand. “I’ve been quite swamped lately, so I didn’t get the chance to inform you about it. I was planning on catching up with you after I was done with all the work”
“It’s all right. I’m glad as long as you’re back!” Marsha exclaimed joyfully.
Madelyn was speechless as she watched that scene unfold. How come these two are behaving like a mother and daughter meeting again after many years apart? The only thing missing is someone kneeling, tears, and a heart- wrenching soundtrack to accompany the scene.
At that moment, Sebastian turned his gaze toward Harriet, his expression aloof. “What brings you
“Oh, I came to deliver the documents. Harriet spoke as she opened her backpack.
She pulled out two documents from within and handed them to Sebastian.
here?
“Here are some crucial documents about the overseas company that I sorted out last night,” Harriet calmly stated. “I specifically brought them over for you to review.”
Sebastian, however, did not reach out to take the documents. Instead, he said indifferently. “Understood. Just leave them on the desk.”
Harriet immediately felt awkward, but she could only obey.
At that moment, Marsha, standing nearby, couldn’t help but compliment Harriet. “Harriet, you’re still just as I remember, so dedicated and committed to your work. Sebastian is truly fortunate to have met you.”
Her attitude toward Harriet was starkly different from how she treated Madelyn.
It was as though one of the young women was of her own while the other she picked up somewhere.
Madelyn felt a slight twinge of dissatisfaction but didn’t say anything.
Subsequently, Marsha suddenly suggested, “Harriet, you probably haven’t had breakfast yet, right? How about staying here and joining me for breakfast?”
What? Upon hearing those words, Madelyn paled. I painstakingly prepared all this specifically for Seb on! This is not free tasting for them!
Madelyn sighed, relenting. “All right then. Stay and have breakfast with us. By the way, I still owe you thanks for bringing Sebastian back home that night.”

Right after that, Madelyn went straight to the point, asking. Ms. Moore, I must thank you for sending Sebastian home the other night after he had too much to drink. However, I must ask, are you aware of the lipstick mark on his neck?”
Upon hearing that, Harriet felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her whole body stiffening
“Oh, you know what, it’s pointless for me to ask. How would you know anyway?” Madelyn said, chuckling with a hint of self–mockery.
“However, if you happen to hang out with Sebastian again. I hope you can keep an eye on him for me. After all, there is a bevy of beauties out there, and I certainly don’t want any other woman to get a chance with him.” Madelyn’s words were nothing but a veiled mockery aimed at Harriet.
Sure enough, embarrassment flashed past Harriet’s countenance. She quickly nodded. “I will.”
At that moment, Sebastian stared at Harriet with a deep look.
He knew what happened that day, but he didn’t expose her because they still had to work together in the
future.
Making things worse at that critical junction would bring only harm and no benefits.
The person who reacted most strongly was Marsha
When she heard about the kiss mark, she was enraged. “Women these days really lack self–respect and dignity. Do they have any sense of shame at all?”
“Mom, calm down,” Madelyn said, tugging at Marsha’s sleeve.
“I can’t calm down. I just can’t. Harriet, I’m entrusting this to you. You must look after Sebastian when you’re with him out there. Consider it a favor for me, okay?” Marsha requested earnestly.
Meanwhile, Harriet was struggling to control her expression.
After all, she was the one who left the mark on Sebastian’s collar.
“All right, let’s put this matter behind us and not bring it up again, Sebastian intervened, speaking in a calm tone. “After we finish eating. Madelyn will head to campus while I’ll head to the office. You two should return to your respective places.”
The others could nod in agreement.
Madelyn took a sip of her milk and lowered her head to eat a piece of bacon. Deep down, she was unhappy. Why does it feel like Sebastian is intentionally protecting Harriet?
After breakfast, Marsha had also said pretty much everything she intended to. Naturally, she didn’t plan on staying there much longer.
Rising, she turned to Harriet and said, “Harriet, it’s been quite a while since you’ve been back home. Now that you’re here, why don’t you accompany me for a stroll? I have a few things I’d like to discuss with you.”
Upon hearing that, Harriet turned toward Sebastian as though seeking his approval.

After all, she understood why Marsha disliked her. The things she had done in the past were indeed too
