Chapter: 1006

Both were women involved with wealthy men. Norah was confident and generous, while Dolores was restrained and clearly from a humble background, lacking in manners.

Wealthy men usually choose to marry women from rich families. It was clear Dolores didn't stand a chance. Marlin might have a new girlfriend soon.

However, it still shocked her that after so many years, Marlin finally found a girlfriend, breaking the hearts of many wealthy ladies.

Lola rang the bell and asked the bartender to bring some bottles of wine.

"We won't allow Marlin to foot the bill alone."

She swiftly poured three glasses of wine and placed them in front of each of them. Then, with her slender fingers adorned in red nail polish, she lifted her own glass.

“Happy Birthday, Miss Shaw."

Dolores had just found out about Lola's background on her phone. She replied with a flushed face, "Thank you."

No wonder Marlin invited Lola to join them; she had a strong background.

"I wasn't aware it was your birthday when I arrived. I apologize for not bringing a gift."

"It's okay, really. I'm very happy that you could celebrate with me."

She knew exactly how to treat people with status.

Indeed, Lola's demeanor did not betray any sign of displeasure.

“Moreover, on my birthday, what I want most is a gift from Marlin.”

She cast a fond gaze toward Marlin.

Norah frowned, feeling a bit impatient. Dolores always called Marlin in a delicate, sugary voice, which was quite irritating.

Marlin took out a gift from his pocket and handed it to her. In a low, seductive voice, he said, “Happy birthday, Dolores.”

Dolores blushed at his words. "Thank you, Marlin."

Every time Marlin spoke her name, it sounded beautiful, transforming her otherwise ordinary name into something special.

“Open it and see," their friends urged.

Dolores examined the gift box carefully and asked, "Marlin, may I open it?"

Marlin nodded.

With everyone's eyes on her in the private room, Dolores opened the gift. Inside was a designer purse.

Lola glanced at the purse and said, "It's a limited edition, priced around nine hundred thousand dollars."
