I Chapter 406 Play The Game I Slowly I Having seen a handsome man like I pveer) Doreen found it hard to be impressed by just any man. Despite the attention of numerous wealthy I suitors, none caught her interest.

Instead, she was drawn to a recently acknowledged illegitimate son of the Watts family, Roscoe.

People said Roscoe wasn't a good match for Doreen.

The Watts family, despite their wealth and influence, viewed Roscoe's position as complicated due to his illegitimacy.

The incident caught Jarrod's eye.

"Doreen, are you alright?" Jarrod inquired, shooting a stern look at Roscoe.

Doreen smiled and said, "I'm fine. I didn't hold it steady and spilled it on myself. I'll go change my clothes." Doreen cherished her appearance, and she detested any exhibitor stains.

Being particular about her appearance, Doreen always carried extra clothes for such situations.
