Chapter 95

The moment those words left Robert’s mouth, even Oliver, who usually couldn’t care less about anything, perked up.

He leaned against the window, eyes locked on the license plate.

Aside from lan, no one in the Yates family had ever met the Holmes family before. They had no clue who was in the cars this time.

They had been all set to leave, but now, their attention was completely fixed on the two vehicles.

Everyone was so focused that no one noticed the change in Marian’s expression.

She slipped a hand into her coat pocket, her fingers brushing against something solid.

A strange mix of excitement and unease bubbled up inside her. She gripped the object tightly, only to flinch when a sharp edge dug into her skin.

Pulling her hand out, she saw tiny beads of blood welling up on her pale fingertips.

No one in the Yates family noticed, and Marian made no effort to draw attention to herself. She simply wiped the blood on the darker part of her clothes and kept quiet.

Meanwhile, the Holmes family’s cars rolled to a stop in front of Ferry House.

A bodyguard stepped out of the front passenger seat, moving swiftly to open the back door.

A woman emerged. She had delicate features, but her icy demeanor made it clear she wasn’t someone you could just casually approach.

She stood by the car for a few seconds, waiting.

Then, Ian stepped out of the second car, clutching what looked like a gift.

The group headed toward Ferry House.

From a distance, Nina eyed the woman’s back and muttered, “Is that the head of the Holmes family?”

“No idea,” Robert replied. “I heard she changed a lot after she got sick. Even people who used to be close to the Holmes family don’t recognize her anymore. I’ve never seen her myself.”

As the Yates family whispered among themselves, Marian pulled her gaze away, unimpressed.

That wasn’t Tinley. It was just one of her people.

In her past life, this woman had reached out to her on Tinley’s behalf, offering her a job as a waitress. Marian didn’t even remember her name.

She only remembered the cold, unwelcoming aura the woman gave off, one that had left her with a terrible first impression.

Marian snapped out of her thoughts and tried to get a grip on her emotions.

Marrying into the Holmes family just like that would be reckless. But she had been reborn, and she had alread Yvonne’s necklace, there was no turning back now.
