At this time, they receive an invitation from the Brown family to a bouquet that is intended for the young master of the Brown Family to choose his future fiancee. The news excites Jocelyn's family a lot because if Maria could marry into the Brown family, the family wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore!

By then, a lot of boys would fight to marry you to get into our family.” Father says to Jocelyn: &quot; Your sister is so beautiful, I think she will be Mrs. Brown! Maria, let me see your face, the face of the future Mrs. Brown!&quot; At the moment, Jocelyn is glad to be ignored by her family.

Without hesitation, Mrs. Wilson agreed.

"Dear Maria, don't worry. I will definitely make him pay for what he said today." Mrs. Wilson stroked Maria's angry face, feeling sorry for her.

"I finally understand. He is an obstacle to you marrying into the Brown family. Only by getting rid of this obstacle can your path to marriage be smooth."

There was a faint smile on Mrs. Wilson's face as usual, but her eyes had become firm and ruthless. It was obvious that she wanted to get rid of Luke very much.

Maria was relieved that her mother was supportive of her. The anger in her heart dissipated by half, but the other half was still burning fiercely and could not be put out.

She could not control her temper, and the expression on her face became twisted and ugly again.

"And that bitch, Jocelyn. I don't know what she did to steal Master Aren's attention. He should have been mine."
