“Is he coming back on a private jet?” Everett asked once more.

“Yes,” Marissa nodded.

Their exchange, though brief, seemed laden with underlying meanings, drawing keen interest from the listeners.

When Marissa disclosed that Brian was traveling via private jet, it raised eyebrows among the guests, confirming that Brian’s professional life had continued to flourish during the years he was missing. The guests were curious about Brian’s current status and were captivated by Marissa’s conversation with Everett. They avoided interrupting, instead turning attentively to Hannah, cautious not to jeopardize their rapport with the Nash family.

Aelfric’s gaze narrowed, his earlier beliefs about Brian’s enduring prominence over the last twenty-two years confirmed, though the full extent of his influence remained unknown.

Just then, Marissa received a phone call, which she answered while Everett stood by.

Upon concluding the call, she turned to Everett with another smile and said, “My father has landed. His plane touched down in the garden behind our villa.”

“I’ll go and welcome him,” Everett said cheerfully.

“Would you care to join me?”

“Of course,” Marissa replied without hesitation, seeing no reason to decline.

Despite her reluctance to accept the arranged marriage with him, Marissa recognized that Everett had significantly contributed to the welfare of her family and herself. She felt obligated to show him kindness.

After exchanging pleasantries with the other guests, Marissa politely excused herself and departed the banquet hall alongside Everett.
