Lori laughed immediately.
Suddenly, she felt confident. "Mom! In the future, both of us must marry into the Ford family! We have the right to become the most revered and noble women in this city!”
Jennie answered, "Of course!"
She pulled her daughter into her arms. "That’s why, for the moment, we have to cling onto the Shaws, they’re our relatives and our biggest stepping stone, d o you understand?"
"I... I understand, Mom." The mother and daughter drove further and further away.
Meanwhile, on this side, Sabrina was feeling depressed too. Lori had made it clear that she and her mother would be moving into the Shaw family home today. Just yesterday, Kingston had also made it clear that Sean Ford planned to hold a family banquet and invite the Shaws. If Sabrina guessed correctly, the main goal in holding a banquet and inviting the Shaws was because they wanted to invite Jennie Gibson, right?
Somehow, the news made her sad. She remembered her own mother.
That night after work, Sabrina brought Sebastian and Aino and visited her mother.
Gloria was surprised to see her daughter and her family. "Sabbie, it's not the weekend, so why are you here?"
Sabrina looked at her mother, her heart aching. "Mom, how have you been doing for the past two days?"
Her mother smiled. "I'm good, I've been busy practicing dancing. Although I don’t know how, I’m willing to pour effort into it and learn. Hard work never betrays you after all, right?”
"Mom, your musicality is superb, so I'm sure dancing won't be a problem for you. Have you made any friends in the dance team?" Sabrina asked.
After Sabrina and her family left, Gloria took out her phone and called Marcus. She knew her daughter was working at her nephew's company, so she wanted to try to gain some information from her nephew.
"Aunt Gloria, why are you calling me at this hour? Do you lack something and need me to send it there for you?" Marcus asked.
Gloria sighed and said, "Marcus, today Sabbie came to me; she didn't say anything, but I can tell, something i s bothering her. Sabbie works for your company. In the daytime, did you notice anything wrong with her? Or do you know what happened to her? If anything did happen, you must not hide it to me; you must let me know."
Marcus:
After a pause, he said truthfully. "Aunt Gloria, you... You once had a good friend named Jennie Gibson. She's staying with us now."
Gloria's voice turned cold. "What... What did you say?"
