Chapter 655:

Memories of the mall encounter resurfaced, along with Carrie’s sharp words about Aliza. Marina clenched her fists, silently cursing Aliza.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice from the house. “Miss Webster, where have you been? Mrs. Webster is asking where the gifts should go.”

Marina stiffened, her composure returning. “Reece, I should head inside to help,” she said, her tone quieter now.
