Unbreakable Love His Passion for Her Transcends Death novel Chapter 496

Marlene's mother-in-law—Zayden's mother—was a low-class model who didn't deserve respect. But Shannon was different.

She came from the Guetta family and had Guetta Group backing her, along with her powerful and wealthy brothers. They had connections on both sides of the law. It wouldn't take much for them to get rid of someone.

Marlene had always resented the fact that she wasn't Shannon's daughter-in-law. If she had been, Malcolm would've long since secured shares in Lane Group.

But despite the bitterness coursing through her, she couldn't show it. She gave Shannon a polite glance, then looked over at the elegant Zoey.

Zoey smiled at her. "Marlene."

Marlene nodded and walked away.

As Zoey watched her leave, she felt a surge of joy. It seemed she wasn't the only one who disliked Yvette. She must make a covert effort to become friends with Marlene.

Upon noticing that Noah wasn't around, Shannon asked Yvette, "Where's the child who came with you?"

"Noah went to the washroom," Yvette replied honestly.

Hearing this, Shannon looked toward the washroom's direction, showing no intention of leaving.

Meanwhile, Noah had no intention of using the washroom. He slipped out through the back door and made his way to the main hall.

There were many Lanes present. Several relatives had brought their children, so the maids didn't stop Noah.

Noah made his way in without a hitch. In the crowd, he spotted his bastard father getting scolded by an old man with a head full of white hair.

"That must be my great-grandpa," he muttered under his breath. "He's probably not a good guy, either."

His eyes drifted to Malcolm, who was sitting next to Clifford, eating fruits. Malcolm was dressed in an expensive suit. His pompous little air suggested that he was the undisputed ruler of the household.

"Little brat!" Noah thought. Zachary had already told him about Malcolm. Noah had also met Malcolm when he'd pretended to be Zachary at Lane Mansion before.
