Chapter: 964
She said tearfully, hoping to stir his protective instincts.
Rosalee mimicked her mockingly. “Hans, I want to go home too. See you tomorrow. I love you."
Blowing him a kiss, she exited.
Watching Dolores and Rosalee, Yolande's face twisted with disdain.
Hans's face contorted for a moment before settling back into his usual expression.
"Okay, it's fine. I'll drive you back," Marlin soothed, patting Dolores's shoulder gently. "Just wait a minute while I retrieve the gift I bought for you.”
The gift in question was a pair of earrings from an auction, worth a cool 580 thousand.
While seated beside Marlin and Dolores, Yolande instantly recognized the nature of the gift.
She felt an urge to speak up, but then it dawned on her that the sum wasn't a big deal for any of her family members. It was improbable that Marlin would hesitate over presenting a gift worth only $580, 000 to his girlfriend, so she kept silent.
The events of the day had left her with a very poor impression of the Dolores. She snorted in disdain as she observed the couple walking away hand in hand.
Now, only Manley, Hans, and Yolande remained in the room.
Curiosity getting the better of her, Yolande asked, "Dad, who exactly is Norah Wilson? Why were you so deferential towards her?"
Hans, equally intrigued, added, “I don't recall ever seeing her before."
Manley cast an inscrutable glance at the both of them.
“ALL you need to do is remember to treat her with respect.
Additionally, Hans, I won't meddle in your and Marlin's relationships.
However, I expect your girlfriends to have wealth and status that match our family."
The implication was clear, Manley was dissatisfied with the women Hans and Marlin had chosen as their partners.
"I understand, Dad. Don't worry," Hans replied with an impassive expression.
Yolande was disappointed not to get the answer she sought. After pondering for a bit, she tried to coax Manley by acting sweetly, but he remained tight-lipped.
In the car, Sean felt both surprised and curious about Manley's demeanor towards Norah.
It made sense now why Norah wasn't intimidated by the Boyds. She had a strong connection with the head of the Boyd family. Offending Marlin didn't have any serious repercussions for her.
Norah didn't provide much detail but simply told Sean that she and Manley were old friends.
Sean's mind was buzzing with questions. It appeared that Norah had known Marlin before, yet Marlin's behavior towards her was peculiar.
