Chapter 1468
Sabrina’s thoughts fleetingly turned to “Tom and Jerry.” Regrettably, without contact details, there wasn’t much she could do. “Alright,” she acknowledged. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The following day, Sabrina headed to Daily Company for an advertising shooting.
Meanwhile, in Mathias, the grand celebration of Sergio and Marnie’s wedding was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.
Tyrone’s arrest and the resulting turmoil within the Blakely Group made it unfeasible for Sergio to proceed with the wedding at this time.
Additionally, Marnie was worried that Tyrone would implicate Sergio.
With the wedding date hanging in uncertainty, Marnie and Sergio retreated to Marnie’s hometown. It was in the quaint Fifth Villiage of Yemond Town, nestled in the North District of Mathias.
The villagers there had long been privy to Marnie’s romance with her affluent city beau.
Rumors of Sergio’s generosity echoed through the town, as did the lavish purchases of household appliances and cars for Marnie and even the relocation of Marnie’s siblings to a better school.
Whispers circulated that Jamal, Marnie’s father, was considering buying a house once Marnie and Sergio got the marriage certificate.
Those villagers were envious, thinking Jamal was blessed with a daughter who had found herself a prosperous match.
However, others were skeptical of Marnie’s relationship with her wealthy boyfriend. Some believed he was only interested in having a good time and would never tie the knot with Marnie who had not completed high school.
The cynics went on to assert that financial gains could be swift in the company of the affluent. They speculated that Marnie was willing to be a mistress in exchange for financial gains, and even if the relationship ended, she would not have suffered any losses.
Despite these doubts, Jamal surprised everyone by announcing that Marnie and Sergio had set a wedding date for July. He even invited his relatives and friends to a grand feast at a hotel.

This news confirmed the authenticity of Marnie’s relationship with her boyfriend, which made them even more envious.
Jamal was treated well by the villagers now.
Previously, Jamal had a reputation for being stingy and taking advantage of others, which caused him to have a poor relationship with other villagers.
However, things changed when Marnie’s boyfriend was a wealthy man.
They began to view Jamal as someone who might be able to help them in the future, and their attitudes toward him shifted accordingly.
Those same people who had previously found Jamal insufferable were now coming out of the woodwork with newfound politeness, a shift that Jamal took great pride in and even gloated over.
Jamal’s elder brother, Wendell, was known for being straightforward and honest, and he had a good relationship with the villagers due to his helpful nature.
When the townspeople compared Wendell and Jamal, Wendell was always spoken of with high praise.
Much like Wendell and Jamal, Marnie and Shirley, who are close in age, were also compared.
Shirley was a college student considered beautiful, excellent, sensible, and obedient to her parents. Many parents hoped that their children could be as good as Shirley.
When discussing Marnie, people often remarked that she was not suitable for romance due to her stingy and temperamental nature. They thought she might not be fit for a marriage partner.
