Chapter 566 Marie’s Grand Entrance
When that familiar voice resounded, everyone froze for a moment.
Marie’s unexpected arrival caught everyone off guard, especially in the midst of today’s banquet.
After all, the memory of her last appearance at a banquet still lingered vividly in everyone’s minds.
In the thoughts of the ladies, particularly Arianna’s, they assumed Shane would have admitted Marie into the hospital. They had disregarded Marie, so no one had asked any questions.
At this moment, Marie wore a burgundy fishtail evening gown. She immediately attracted everyone’s attention as soon as she entered the banquet hall.
Marie had fair skin and a pair of deep, clear eyes. Time had left almost no traces on her face.
She retained her cold and noble demeanor. People used to call her Hawford’s Red Rose–she was delicate yet fiery.
Her temperament contrasted sharply from Wynter’s. At first glance, one would not associate the two
together.
As Mar roached, the striking resemblance in their gestures and expressions became evident.
The people only then realized that this was indeed a true mother–daughter pair.
Before her arrival, the ladies present could still vie for attention. But now, they all became supporting
characters.
Marie was exceptionally beautiful, so much so that it almost enchanted people’s hearts.
Winnie was stunned. She murmured, “Marie, are you… feeling better?”
Arianna had the same question in mind.
Clearly, Marie had suffered from madness before.
The last time Arianna saw her, Marie was kept by Shane like a canary. Her eyes were vacant, and she couldn’t give a coherent answer even when spoken to.
Though she no longer hurt people as before, she still didn’t seem fully recovered.
“If I still haven’t recovered, it seems like everyone here might truly think that our dear Sevie has neither a father nor a mother,” Marie said with a graceful smile. “Of course, my dear friends wouldn’t think so. Am I right, Ms. Yeaton and Mrs. Winston?”
Marie singled out these two women, making her intentions very obvious.
Wasn’t Winnie trying to use Marie’s name to suppress her own daughter? Marie had come personally to assert that her daughter was precious!
Such directness left no room for doubt.

Their reactions varied from one another.
Winnie had never expected Marie to address her so directly.
As for Arianna, she wished she had never come to this banquet.
She had expected to witness a joke involving the Quinnell family. But in the end, she became the one being laughed at.
Now that Marie was here again, Arianna wasn’t sure if Marie had truly recovered. She wondered if Marie was, as Shane had said, fluctuating between good and bad.
Subconsciously, she wanted to test it.
Unexpectedly, Wynter beat her to it. Her eyes cold, she asked, “Mrs. Winston, what are you trying to do?”
“I’m just worried about Marie’s health,” Arianna explained with a fake smile. “She tends to get agitated when her emotions are bad.”
Marie took a glass of red wine elegantly. “Mrs. Winston is afraid that I’ll be like before, randomly pouring wine and pinc people. I’ve asked the doctor, and as long as no one suggests anything, I won’t have any issues. Mrs. Winston doesn’t need to worry about this. I’m fine now, and I’ll be better in the future,” Marie assured.
This scene prompted sighs from the people. Once again, the goddess–like presence of Marie had returned.
“It seems that Mrs. Quinnell is truly feeling better!”
“What does Mrs. Quinnell mean? Was someone suggesting things when she pinched people back then?” “My goodness! How terrifying! Who suggested such things? What did they turn such a good person into?”
