Chapter 188

“Mom! Didn’t I just tell you? I knew there was something fishy about those two! Marilla is trying to mess up my thing with him!”

When Glynnis saw Jareth dressing Marilla in an expensive red evening gown, her heart filled with jealousy. Marilla’s face was fresh and natural. No makeup was needed, and she still looked gorgeous as hell

Even more annoying, they were both wearing the same shade of wine red, looking like a freaking couple!

Standing side by side under the bright lights, they looked like newlyweds, hogging all the attention.

Glynnis felt like her own purple dress was a slap in the face

Red and purple, what a horrible combo!

“Marilla is my flesh and blood, I know what kind of person she is!”

Unlike Glynnis, Elspeth looked deeper into the situation. “Although Marilla is already 22, she acts like an 11–year–old kid. She’s not mature enough to date, let alone steal your man. Do you think she has the guts and wits for that?”

Glynnis cooled down a bit, but she was still pissed off.

“I think it’s more complicated than you think Jareth was cold to you before, and after Hamiltion’s birthday party, he probably figured out your intentions and started to dislike you. He knows Marilla is your sister, so he’s getting close to her on purpose, just to piss you off.”

“What?” Glynnis felt dizzy. “What should I do, Mom? Is there no hope for me to marry Mr. Jareth?”

“Now you need to be more patient than ever. Not only do you need to cooperate with Edith to get close to Jareth, but you also need to change your attitude and keep your cool. If Jareth is nice to Marilla, you should be nice to her too, show him your kind and cute side. Got it?” Elspeth gave her daughter some serious advice.

“I got it.” Glynnis replied helplessly.

Meanwhile, not far away

Marilla was looking around for Ada, her eyes wide open with excitement.

However, when she saw Edith playing the piano on stage, her eyes contracted. Her face turned pale, and she started to lose her vitality like a withering flower.
