Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back! ( Leanne Castillo ) novel Chapter 376

"You're always so clever."

Mary chuckled with a twinkle in her eye, leaning closer to whisper, "Just wait. I'm about to score a two-for-one deal."

Jennifer was busy coordinating auction items with the foundation’s chairman when the servant approached her. "Ma’am, Lady Mary wants to see you," they said.

Nodding, Jennifer ended her discussion and headed over to where Mary was seated.

The sight of Larissa chatting with Mary made Jennifer pause momentarily.

The Richardson and the Watson families were well-matched, influential families. Their once-planned alliance through marriage had been mutually beneficial. The Richardson family held no grudge when Tina unexpectedly broke off her engagement. In a gesture of goodwill, the Watson family had shown their sincerity, keeping the business relationship between the families tight.

Jennifer had personally confirmed the guest list for the evening. Larissa hadn't been on it.

But since she was there, she was surely an honored guest.

Jennifer approached with a warm smile, exchanging pleasantries with Larissa. Mary then interjected, "You've met Anne, haven’t you? She’s been looking forward to seeing you."

"Not yet. I came to see you first," Larissa replied, standing up. "I’ll go chat with Anne now."

Right after Larissa left, Jennifer turned to Mary. "Did you invite her?"

"I did. I have a big announcement to make today," Mary revealed.

Already wary of her mother-in-law’s penchant for dramatics, from adopting Leanne to orchestrating her marriage to Curtis, Jennifer felt a hint of anxiety at the mention of a 'big announcement.'
