Jennifer gave him an OK gesture. Ivan held her hand and said to Rowan, "See you, buddy." Then the couple left.
The Lamborghini headed back to Emerald Bay under the moonlight.
In the passenger's seat, Jennifer pinched the bottle while joyfully staring at Ivan's side face. The dim light of the street lamps made him look more handsome than usual, so she couldn't tear her gaze off him.
Whenever Ivan was with her, his aura would soften.
At the same time, a red Bentley pulled up to the yard of Kelsington Bay. The person in the driver's seat couldn't get off the car for a long time.
Looking at the familiar vintage villa in front of her, Catherine could see the living room was brightly lit and reminded herself to mind her identity.
The wedding had ended, but she wasn't Ivan's bride. Her dream should end.
After getting off the car, she entered the living room.
Aubree happened to go downstairs. When she turned the corner, she met Catherine's gaze. The two women stopped mid-step.
Catherine stopped at the door and Aubree on the stairs.
"Good evening, Auntie Aubree," Catherine greeted her, addressing her differently than before. Repressing the pain in her heart, she didn't think she had the right to call Aubree as Mom.
Aubree returned to her senses. After withdrawing her gaze, she walked downstairs.
The two sat on the sofa. Pippa served them with herbal tea and left. She wondered why Catherine had come after being kicked out from the Marsh Group by Mr. Marsh. Was she here to beg Madam Aubree for mercy?
Under the bright light of the living room, the two women locked eyes.
"Auntie Aubree, I'm here to plead for Linda Chambers," Catherine said bluntly, looking at Aubree sincerely. "Ivan detests me, so he has fired me. But he has no reason to fire Linda."
"Is Linda fired as well?"
Aubree's words evidently showed that she had known Catherine was fired.
Catherine felt disappointed as she could tell the change in Aubree's attitude toward her.
It seemed Aubree had tacitly consented to the marriage of Ivan and Jennifer.
