After an entire night of fruitless waiting, he assumed the mission had failed. To his surprise, Adaline still sent a substantial sum of money the next day. George naturally didn't admit to not completing the task and kept the money for himself.

"I'm her friend, and I need your help with something. If you cooperate, I'll give you 200, 000. Once the job is done, I'll give you another 200, 000!"

Four hundred thousand!

George, previously concerned about finances, now found an opportunity falling into his lap.

He swiftly changed his attitude. “Alright, tell me how you want me to help, and I'll do it."

Marlene outlined her plan to him.

George agreed quickly.

Marlene had learned from Laura that Jerrold had become Kenneth's student and the Harris family would soon hold a party. At that time, all the relatives from the Harris family would surely be in attendance.

This was the perfect opportunity to expose Lilah's true nature.

Lilah hailed from a modest background, and she was once an unwed pregnant woman. A prestigious family like the Harris family would never accept such a woman into their fold.

She shared her plan with Laura, who hesitated. "Isn't this a bit too much? Lilah is also a victim."

"She's no victim at all. She's just a woman seeking to improve her life by marrying Gerard. Laura, do you want to see such a dirty woman wed Gerard?"

After much hesitation, Laura reluctantly agreed.

Marlene added, "When it's time, just provide me with the location of their party."

“Okay.”

The party for Kenneth and Jerrold, orchestrated by the Harris family, was meticulously prepared. It took place in the opulent Horizon Hotel, with almost all the relatives in attendance.

This was good news for the Harris family. And it was an even better opportunity for Jerrold.

Most of the Harris family's relatives knew Jerrold as a reserved child with a somewhat gloomy disposition.

That was why they often urged Gerard to remarry and have another child. However, they never expected Jerrold to become Kenneth's student.

Who was Kenneth? He was a big shot in the world of art.

Jerrold was his first student, which naturally attracted the attention of the Harris family's relatives. Brenda, Lilah, and Jerrold were busily mingling with relatives at the gathering.

Jerrold's polite greetings caught everyone off guard.

“Look how Jerrold has changed a lot," someone remarked. “He's not the same person he used to be."

Another chimed in, "Jerrold seems like a regular kid now."
