Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1467

Chapter 1467: 364: Mistress's Daughter_5 Chapter 1467: 364: Mistress's Daughter_5 “What's the matter?” Phoebe Perryne turned to look at Norma Augus.

Norma Augus continued, “Mrs. Zacks is someone who hasn't undergone any proper education, and her daughter is also ill-mannered.”

She is a visitor from afar, and instead of accompanying her, Flora Tiarks went off to find other people.

Was this how to treat a guest?

Phoebe Perryne laughed, “Mrs. White gave birth to eight daughters, it's normal if she failed to educate them properly! As the saying goes, when the beam is crooked the building leans, Grace White herself is problematic, of course, the daughter she raises would also be problematic.”

This is a vicious cycle.

At this point, Phoebe Perryne added, “If this were my daughter, I'd have beaten her to death a long time ago!”

Just then, there was a stir at the entrance.

Norma Augus looked up.

A man dressed in a suit was walking this way.

Grace White followed alongside him.

The man was tall and handsome, his outfit simple and his stride exuding a powerful aura, as if he were the center of gravity.

Norma Augus squinted for a moment, quickly recognizing him — this was Grace White's younger brother, Marcus White.

Phoebe Perryne turned to Norma Augus, “Norma, is this Marcus White?”

“Yes,” Norma Augus nodded.

Hearing this, Phoebe Perryne took another glance over, “As expected of a big shot, his aura is really different from ordinary people.”

Norma Augus didn't speak, looking around instead.

There were quite a few young women at tonight's party.

Although it was Grace White's birthday party, on the other hand, it could also be interpreted as Marcus White's bridal selection banquet.

How could she stand out among these vulgar women and attract Marcus White's attention?

Norma Augus furrowed her brow slightly.

It seemed that.

She needed to think of a perfect plan.

Meanwhile.

Grace White held onto Mr. White's wrist, her tone reproachful, “It's almost seven o'clock, I thought you weren't coming! What's in your mind, is it all money?!”

Mr. White casually replied, “Sis, no money, no early birds. As a businessman, one should never forget about one's main job.”

There's no financial gain without an early start. Therefore, being a little late for the sake of 'gain' was excusable.

Grace White was speechless.

“Where's my brother-in-law?” Mr. White then asked.

“He'll be home at eight.”

Mr. White nodded.

Having said that, the siblings continued to walk inside.

Just at that moment, Flora Tiarks ran over from this side, “Uncle Marcus!”

Mr. White turned to look at Flora Tiarks.

Flora Tiarks continued, “Uncle Marcus, what kind of birthday present did you prepare for my mom?”

Mr. White flicked Flora Tiarks' forehead, “That's between your mother and me, you're a kid, don't ask more.”

Flora Tiarks touched her forehead and without thinking more about it, she grabbed Mr. White's hand, “Come on, let's go over there.”

Mr. White followed Flora Tiarks' lead.

Looking at her nephew and her brother's retreating figures, Grace White helplessly shook her head, “This child!”

Flora Tiarks then brought Mr. White to where Viola Thompson and others were.

Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight courteously greeted him, “Uncle Marcus.”

Viola was about to call him uncle as well, but recalling Mandel Thompson's words, she changed to, “Brother Marcus.”

Mr. White nodded, his gaze sweeping across the three of them, “You all are here.”

“Hmm,” Diana Hershey smiled, “Auntie is just like my mom, how could I not come for her birthday?”

Diana Hershey's words amused Grace White greatly.

Her words were always pleasant to hear.

Flora Tiarks turned towards Mr. White and continued, “Uncle Marcus, we four are playing a drinking game with rock-paper-scissors, if you lose, you have to drink, do you want to join?”

Mr. White wanted to say that he was fine just watching them play, but when the words reached his mouth, he nodded honestly, “Sure.”

Norma Augus had been paying attention to Mr. White this whole time.

Seeing this, she subtly furrowed her brows.

Flora Tiarks was really cunning!

She had actually drawn Mr. White towards the group of women.

Norma Augus turned towards Grace White, “Mom, could I have a word with you?”

Grace White knew her daughter must have something private to say to her, so she immediately leaned over to listen, “What is it, Norma?”

Norma Augus whispered a few words in her ear.

Hearing this, Grace White nodded slightly.

After mother and daughter had finished their conversation, Phoebe Perryne moved to stand next to Grace White, laughed and said, “Mrs. Zacks, tonight is really lively, but it's a pity, Norma is not very good at social interactions. Look at her sitting over there like a log, unlike Miss Tiarks, who has so many friends!”

Grace White turned to Phoebe Perryne, “Young people should communicate more, how about this, I'll get Flora to introduce Norma to some new friends.”

“Really?” Phoebe Perryne looked surprised, “Mrs. Zacks, thank you so much!”

“You're welcome.”

A moment later, Grace White led Norma Augus over to where Flora Tiarks and the others were, “Flora.”

“Mom, what's up?” Flora Tiarks looked up at Grace White.

Grace White went on, “Norma is new here and doesn't have many friends, have her meet Viola, Diana, Fiona.”

Only then did Flora Tiarks notice another person standing beside her mother.

And only then, did Norma Augus notice Viola Thompson among the group.

Viola Thompson?

Why was Viola Thompson here as well?

The presence of Viola Thompson made Norma Augus feel threatened.

Had Viola Thompson also come because of Mr. White?

But didn't Viola Thompson already have a fiance?

What was she trying to do?

Was she trying to have her cake and eat it too?

Wasn't that disgusting?

Norma Augus suppressed her suspicions and looked towards Viola Thompson with a smile, “Viola, I didn't know you were here too!”

Viola Thompson casually looked up, “Miss Augus.”

One called her Viola and the other Miss Augus.

Wasn't this interesting?

Hearing this, Grace White squinted her eyes.

She knew Viola well, she was a very sincere and friendly girl. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become close friends with Flora.

If the problem wasn't with Viola, then it must be with Norma Augus.

Grace White pondered this without showing any reaction, she then asked, “Viola, Norma, do you two know each other?”

Norma Augus slightly nodded, “Yes, Viola is my aunt's daughter.”

Aunt?

Realizing this, everything suddenly became clear to Grace White.

Phoebe Perryne was the only daughter in her family. After Hermosa Brain passed away, Dick Perryne remarried and it seemed Norma Augus happened to exist because of that step-sister.

No wonder Viola had hard feelings towards Norma Augus.

Who in Capital City didn't know that Dick Perryne had secretly committed to that mistress a long time ago?

So Phoebe Perryne was the daughter of Dick Perryne and that mistress!

With this revelation, Grace White was somewhat surprised. However, she didn't show it, continuing to smile and said, “I see, you young people keep chatting then, I'll go over there.”
