I could see that she wanted to rip me to shreds on the spot, but since
Adam was right there, she could do nothing but swallow her anger.
Marley took a deep breath and finally managed a smile.
âI havenât seen you in years, Debra! Youâre much bolder than before.
â
Adamâs sharp eyes darted between me and Marley.
To the latter, he asked, âYou know Debra?â
Before Marley could answer, I smiled and said, âMr.
Cooper, we donât know each other, but I get the feeling that we mightâve known each other in a past life.
Maybe I look like someone she knows, because she mistook me for someone else just now.
â
Meeting Adamâs suspicious gaze, Marley gritted her teeth and said,
âYes, sheâs right.
â
Although it pained her to say so, she could only endure it.
I sneered inwardly.
Marley probably never thought sheâd find herself in this situation.
Riley mustâve sensed a fight brewing, so she stepped in to diffuse the tension.
She walked over and naturally held Adamâs arm.
âLuna Marley, welcome to Roz Town.
â Riley greeted Marley politely.
âI hope youâll enjoy your time here.

Adam disliked Riley and his expression clearly showed that he was unhappy.
But for the sake of his reputation, he had no choice but to introduce the two women to each other.
âMarley, this is my wife, Riley.
â
Marley immediately started to flatter Riley.
âMrs.
Cooper, Iâve heard so much about you.
Youâre as virtuous and dignified as they say.
Iâm excited for the carnival.
â
A normal husband wouldâve been happy to hear such words.
But Adam wasnât a normal husband.
His expression turned cold.
âYou flatter her.
My wife is just an ignorant housewife.
How can she compare with you?â
Despite Rileyâs presence, Adam spared no effort to praise Marley.
âIn my opinion, youâre the outstanding one.
You manage the Silver Ridge
Pack so well at such a young age.
Itâs inspiring.
â
Adamâs eyes never left Marleyâs pretty face.
His eagerness to flirt with the beautiful woman was so disgustingly obvious.
âThe hotelâs a little far from here.
How about I drive you there myself?â Adam offered right in front of Riley.
Finally, Riley couldnât stand it anymore.
She firmly held Adamâs arm and reminded him, âAdam, we still have a lot of guests to entertain.
You can arrange for one of your men to send Luna Marley to the hotel, or else people might complain that we neglected the other guests.
â
Adam looked around.
There were too many people here.
He had to consider his reputation as mayor of this town.
