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.

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.
