Novel1Chapter 933 Chapter 933: "Alethea was running late because of her makeup, but she should be here soon. She's a sweet girl-very well- mannered. Perhaps you two could becgood friends." At this, Jenesis smoothly stepped forward. She smiled, but her expression remained cool.
"We appreciate your kindness," she said lightly.
"But as for making friends, we'll pass." Her words were calm, but her tone held a quiet finality.
Kelsey's brows furrowed in confusion.

"There's no misunderstanding. It's just that Miss Hinks doesn't seem to likevery much." She tilted her head slightly, her expression unreadable.
"Friendship should happen naturally. If someone dislikes you from the start, there's no need to force a connection. Wouldn't you agree?" Kelsey's smile wavered, tightening ever so slightly.
"This..." Doubt flickered in her eyes. She wasn't sure how much of Carrie's words were true. For years, Alethea had carried herself with quiet grace, always gentle and obedient in their presence. At worst, people whispered that she was aloof, a little too distant, but no one had ever spoken of her with such bitter disdain.
Yet, for reasons Kelsey couldn't quite explain, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Carrie-an instinctive trust that made her want to believe every word she said without question.
Reece stepped forward with an easy smile and said, "Thank you for appreciating our Carrie. There are sthings outsiders like us shouldn't discuss too openly. But Carrie is the jewel of our Morrison family, and today, both my grandfather and father made it clear-no matter our family's shortcomings, if anyone dares to wrong her, we will not stand idly by. You have a daughter of your own, so I'm sure you understand the depth of our devotion." Kelsey exchanged a glance with Jacob. Reece's words weren't just a declaration-they were a warning.
It was now evident that the conflict between Alethea and Carrie wasn't strivial misunderstanding. It ran far deeper.
Jenesis, standing calmly beside them, lifted her chin slightly, gesturing toward a different part of the room. A small, polite smile played on her lips.
"We'll take Carrie to meet sfriends," she said smoothly.
They hadn't chere to cause a scene, nor to start an argument. This wasn't the tor place for open confrontation. They had delivered their message loud and clear.

But just as Carrie moved by, Kelsey's voice softened, turning almost Lened, turning pleading. The content is on m novelenglish.net!
"Carrie, I will look into this. If Alethea has done something wrong, I assure you, we'll handle it. But if it's all just a NO misunderstanding, I hope we can put this matter behind us and keep our families on good terms." Carrie nodded with polite composure.
"No matter what happens, Alethea is herself. She doesn't represent the Hinks family. One person's mistakes shouldn't overshadow the bond between two families."
