Chapter 1445

Sumasa was her best friend since pup period, but at that

time, Alice's words provoked her and she ended up physically harming Sumasa's face.

This incident troubled Jocelyn for many years, to the point where she couldn't face Rosalie when she found out that Rosalie was Sumasa's daughter. She didn't even dare to let her into her home.

Jocelyn felt guilty towards the three of them. If it weren't for her, Rosalie would have mated Amon, and Taya wouldn't have ended up in an orphanage. In the end, it was her own wrongdoing that caused such a disaster and that's why fate took her son's life.

Taya now understood that it was Alice's fault that Jocelyn's potion splashed onto Sumasa's face. Her resentment towards Jocelyn wasn't as strong anymore. However, she couldn't bring herself to accept Jocelyn's apology on behalf of her mother. Instead, she simply nodded her head to Jocelyn, indicating that- she acknowledges the apology.

Jocelyn knew that Taya would never forgive her. If it weren't for Grace's relationship, she probably wouldn't even exchange words with her anymore. Luckily, Grace was there, giving her the chance to apologize to Sumasa's remaining daughter. This way, Jocelyn's guilt towards Sumasa would lessen.

After saying goodbye to Jocelyn, Preston, at Anthony's request, set up a party and invited everyone who had been involved in the court case.

Except for Harper.

During the court proceedings, Preston and Harper were sitting quite close to each other, but they didn't even glance at each

other.

Even when they accidentally bumped into each other while leaving the courtroom, they politely said "sorry" to each other and went their separate ways. Everyone understood why Preston didn't invite Harper given their current situation, but Anthony felt that Preston was still not feeling well emotionally.

Anthony picked up his glass and clinked it against Preston's. "Are you really just letting go like this?"

Preston, drinking his alcohol silently, replied without much emotion, "I've tried my best, but I'm tired."

He was tired and didn't want to pursue Harper anymore. It didn't hold much meaning. Things were fine as they were now.

When Anthony was about to try to persuade him again, he looked up and saw Edith walking in from the door, her dark eyes gradually gaining color.

But when he saw Dylan following behind her, that hint of color

that had just ignited slowly faded away.

Preston followed his gaze and glanced at the entrance, his

eyebrows furrowing as soon as his eyes met Dylan's. "Why did you bring him here?"

He had clearly warned Edith not to invite anyone else to thank Anthony. Why didn't she listen?

Edith walked up to Griffon with Dylan by her side. "Griffon, you don't mind having one more person, right?"
