NovelGoldChapter 679:
The maid's anxious voice carried through the air, but it did little to stop Marina, who stormed in with her bag in
hand, leaving the maid looking flustered. Spotting Carrie, the maid sighed in relief as if she had found a lifeline.
“Miss Campbell, I—"
Carrie waved her off. “It's fine. You can leave now.”
“Miss Webster, what brings you here today?” Carrie asked, raising an eyebrow as she leaned back in her chair.
Marina was dressed in a white tank top layered with a pink long-sleeved shirt and matching shorts.
Her vibrant outfit exuded youthful energy, though her stormy expression was far from cheerful.
Marina tossed her luxury handbag onto the table with a casual air and plopped into the chair next to Carrie.

Carrie's gaze remained steady. “Reece isn’t home,” she replied coolly.
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Marina's face, but she quickly retorted, “Who said I'm here to see him? Can't
| cto see you?”
“What could we possibly need to discuss?” Carrie asked, pretending to be deep in thought.
After a moment, she looked up with a playful expression. “Oh, | know. You're here to apologize toin person.”
She waved her hand dismissively. “Forget it. I'm not petty enough to hold grudges against someone as naive as
a child.”
Marina's face flushed with frustration. “You!”
Carrie cut her off, her voice calm yet sharp. “What about me? If you're here to apologize, at least do it properly.
Pointing fingers—really? Is that how the Webster family raises their children?”
Her gaze flicked to Marina’s hand, and the implied criticism hung in the air.
The comment was more embarrassing than painful.
Within the esteemed circles of Isonridge, accusations of improper upbringing had never touched the Webster
family, much less been thrown in their face. Apart from Kyson, no one had the audacity to reproach her in such a
manner. Even the senior members of her family showered her with affection, not to mention her circle of friends.
In the circles of high society where ranks mattered, the Websters, being the elite, were always treated with
reverence.
With a flash of anger, Marina yanked her hand away, her gaze burning Carrie with resentment.
Carrie couldn’t help but think Marina looked a bit adorable in her anger, like a feisty little doll.

Morrisons serve you? It looks worse than street food.” She smirked, clearly pleased with herself as arrogance
twinkled in her eyes. Carrie observed that Marina wore her emotions openly—a sign of her sheltered upbringing
as a privileged young lady.
Any other woman her age behaving similarly would likely have faced numerous challenges.
