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.

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

I Doreen glanced flirtatiously at Roscoe I and asked, "Roscoe, could you fetch my I change of clothes for me?" ! 4 I : I Roscoe observed Nicole's red lips as she indulged in the Shrimp and Grits, I savoring them as if they were the most I delectable delicacy in the world.
