Mary pulled Jayce to the garden before stopping.
She clutched her stomach and laughed non-stop. Jayce looked at her with even more indulgence.
"Little Mary, it's not a good idea to play such tricks on your fourth brother."
Seeing that there was no one around, Mary turned around and leaned against the wall."Is that so? Is he that scary? I don't believe it!"
Jayce saw her fearless look and sighed helplessly. He reached out and tapped Mary's beautiful nose."Your fourth brother is a person who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance! Moreover, he has always been ruthless when dealing with people who have offended him!"
Mary immediately looked frightened."Ah? Then what should I do? I'm not familiar with him yet... He won't let me off on account that I'm his new sister, right?"
Mary's little face turned pale.
Jayce pinched her little face and sighed in disappointment."Now you know fear? You were so arrogant just a while ago!"
"However, this time he will spare you on account of Diana and me. Don't provoke him next time, understand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a call looking for him.
He took a step into the house first. Mary, who immediately returned to her normal expression, reached out and picked a yellow rose.
Monroe Hall was actually someone that even Jayce Hall had warned her to be careful of.
So, was he that scary?
"Miss Mary, the eldest young master asked me to bring you to Mr. and Mrs. Hall."
"Hiss..." Mary let out a sound of pain as her finger was pricked by a rose.
Following the maid into the banquet hall, Mary raised her head and looked around.
The corridors of the Hall family were decorated like a palace.
The surroundings were filled with the elites, businessmen, and socialites who came and went between New York City and the Hall family.
The crowd kept looking at her. She could even hear their heated conversations...
"Who is this? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"She's so beautiful. Who does she look like though?"
"She looks like Diana..."
"Mrs. Hall? How is that possible..."
"The banquet tonight is mysterious. What does the Hall family mean to say... ?"
Mary, who had never experienced such a thing, was also a little nervous at this moment.
"Hey, baby!" Diana and Henry came forward and gave her a hug each.
When they saw the new Mary, their eyes were full of surprise and satisfaction.
Then, they took Mary to the round steps and introduced her to everyone, "Hi, everyone, good evening! Thank you for coming to the dinner prepared by my wife and me tonight. Today, we would like to introduce our daughter, Mary Dawson."
Everyone applauded immediately, their faces full of smiles.
Mary kept her smile. She saw the girls who had been talking about her behind her back when she had first entered the hall house in the afternoon. At that moment, their faces were full of shock and embarrassment.
Diana and Henry had personally brought Mary to meet some important people. Mary had been dealing with them along the way, but in fact, she had been impatient for a long time.
She did not expect this scene to be so grand. Didn't this mean that all the upper-class people in New York knew her?
Although it was to give her face and status, it was not conducive to her future work.
Moreover, Mary did not like a high-profile life.
If she had known earlier, she would not have come...
Mary was a little regretful. At this moment, Jayce walked over.
"Sorry to bother you, father, Diana. We brothers are all eager to dance with Mary. Can you let us borrow her?"
Jayce was dressed in an expensive black suit. Standing under the bright lights, he was so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes.
Mary looked at his outstretched hand. Before Henry and Diana could agree, she had already given her hand to him.
Jayce held it gently, pulled Mary to his side, and lowered his head to smile at her.
Mary's heart skipped a beat!
