Chapter 4
Her words had been so earnest that he thought there might be more to the story, so he agreed to her request.
However, the answers he got were all consistent. Although the surveillance footage was unclear, all the maids said Mira had pushed her and that Mara was the innocent victim p>
He had been incredibly disappointed. He went to see Mira again, told her the results, and hoped she would admit her mistake on her own.
He could still recall the look of utter disbelief and devastation on Mira’s face at that moment.
Now, only a day had passed, and Mira’s reaction was completely different.
Was this genuine remorse, or p>
Ethan couldn’t help but turn back to look at her.
The girl’s head was slightly bowed, her thin frame almost blending into the
darkness. The expression on her face was obscured.
Her unfamiliar demeanor made Ethan’s heart tighten.
The call he made went unanswered.
“Hold on, I’ll go upstairs and find our parents p>
He turned and strode away, a hint of confusion in his posture.
At that moment, a grand welcome party was underway at the Mercer family’s villa.
In the magnificent ballroom, crystal chandeliers sparkled dazzlingly. Priceless works
of art adorned the walls, and a thick red carpet covered the floor.
The guests were dressed in their finest attire, holding champagne glasses and chatting cheerfully.
The Mercers were one of Melvion City’s wealthiest families, and their guests were all prominent figures from various sectors of society, gathered to witness this special occasion.
This welcome party was, in itself, a major social event.
It was not only meant to lay the foundation for Mara’s entry into high society but also
to showcase the family’s power and influence.
Ethan ascended the stairs, warmly greeting guests along the way.
He wore a faint smile, his demeanor calm and natural.
“Mr. Mercer Jr. truly is the eldest son of the family. Every move he makes exudes style p>
“All the Mercer children are top-notch, every one of them is exceptional, the best of the best p>
“Isn’t that the truth? Even the newly returned Miss Mara is so gentle, polite, and sensible p>
“It’s a shame about Miss Mira p>
The mocking chatter reached Ethan’s ears, and the smile on his face faded slightly.
The incident had only happened yesterday. How could everyone already know about it?
Mira wasn’t as terrible as they made her out to be, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Perhaps Mira’s behavior had always been too brazen, attracting gossip.
Ethan shook his head.
Once this storm passed, he would discipline her properly and help her win back everyone’s approval.
Ethan walked towards a room, and the sound of a girl’s delicate laughter drifted out from within.
Ethan’s expression softened, and he stepped inside.
“Ethan’s here p>
Upon entering the room, a girl in a white evening gown eagerly came forward to greet him.
After two months of care, her skin, had improved considerably. Combined with the makeup artist’s
superb skills, Mara’s face was as beautiful as a blossoming flower.
The party was about to begin, and her parents were helping Mara with the final preparations.
“Shouldn’t you be greeting the guests? What are you doing here?” Adrian was a little displeased to see his eldest son at this moment.
He sat in an imposing armchair, dressed in a formal suit, his presence commanding even without anger.
Though he didn’t speak loudly, he exuded an invisible pressure.
“Adrian, Ethan must have a reason~~ for coming here,” their mother,

Ethan gritted his teeth. “Mira knows she was wrong. I’m asking Father to retract her punishment p>
Mara’s expression faltered, and her hand unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her dress.
“Dad, since she knows she was

A flash of gratification appeared in Lacey’s eyes. “It’s rare for you to be so understanding p>
She looked at her husband. “Since both of them are pleading for Mira, what do you think p>
