Chapter 1445 Celebration party Sumasa was her best friend since childhood, but at that time, Aliceâs words provoked her and she ended up physically harming Sumasaâs face.
This incident troubled Jocelyn for many years, to the point where she couldnât face Skender when she found out that Skender was Sumasaâs daughter. She didnât even dare to let her into her home.

Jocelyn felt guilty towards the three of them. If it werenât for her, Skender would have married Aaron, and Amelia wouldnât have ended up in an orphanage. In the end, it was her own wrongdoing that caused such a disaster, and thatâs why fate took her sonâs life.
Amelia now understood that it was Aliceâs fault that Jocelynâs potion splashed onto Sumasaâs face. Her resentment towards Jocelyn wasnât as strong anymore. However, she couldnât bring herself to accept Jocelynâs apology on behalf of her mother. Instead, she simply nodded her head to Jocelyn, indicating that she acknowledges the apology.
Jocelyn knew that Amelia would never forgive her. If it werenât for Graceâs relationship, she probably wouldnât even exchange words with her anymore. Luckily, Grace was there, giving her the chance to apologize to Sumasaâs remaining daughter. This way, Jocelynâs guilt towards Sumasa would lessen.

Anthony picked up his glass and clinked it against Paulâs. âAre you really just letting go like this?â
Paul, drinking his alcohol silently, replied without much emotion, âIâve tried my best, but Iâm tired.â
He was tired and didnât want to pursue Eva anymore. It didnât 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 gradually gaining color.
eyes But when he saw Dylan following behind her, that hint of color that had just ignited slowly faded away.
Paul followed his gaze and glanced at the entrance, his eyebrows furrowing as soon as his eyes met Dylanâs. âWhy did you bring him here?â
He had clearly warned Edith not to invite anyone else to thank Anthony. Why didnât she listen?
Edith walked up to James with Dylan by her side. âJames, you donât mind having one more person, right?â
