Louise raised her eyes and looked at Brian. "Okay, I believe you. Brian, don't disappoint me again, okay?"

Louise's gaze was pitiful and heartbreaking. Brian pulled her into his arms and said, "Okay. I promise you." He patted her back gently and coaxed her for a while before letting go of her. "Alright, you must be hungry after talking for so long. Let's order."

Louise nodded.

After dinner, Brian sent Louise back to the Adkins family.

Louise walked into the house and saw Ava coming down the stairs.

Ava looked at Louise's slightly red and swollen eyes. "What's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Louise lowered her head and passed by Ava, obviously in a bad mood.

Ava wanted to call out to Louise but was stunned by her mood. When Louise went upstairs and closed the door, Ava snorted softly. "Who are you throwing that temper at? Looks like you know you have no place in Brian's heart."

Upstairs, Louise took out her phone and made a call. She continued to get people to check all the surveillance cameras at the party that day.

The next day, Louise found the strangest person at the party. It was Ava. She had been looking for Brian the entire time and had been following him.

Brian did not know what Ava was up to, but Louise knew very well. Although she did not catch Ava drugging Brian, Ava was the most suspicious person in the entire party.

In the next two days, Ava felt extremely happy seeing Louise's gloomy face.

During dinner that night, Ava could not help but ridicule Louise when she saw her looking distracted. "Well, aren't you happy when you said you were going to marry Brian two days ago? Why do you look unhappy lately? Why didn't Brian bring you over to stay? Did something happen?"

Marshall tapped the plate with his fork. "Ava, what nonsense are you talking about? What happened?"

Ava sneered. "Can't I care about Louise? Brian is so outstanding and has so many women around him. I'm just afraid my sister will suffer if she marries him."

"But you can't talk like that," scolded Marshall.

Ava chuckled. "Am I wrong? My words might be crude but the logic still stands."

Louise poked the mashed potato in her plate and looked up at Ava. "Thanks for your concern, Ava. I'm doing very well with Brian." After saying that, she turned to look at Marshall. "Dad, Ava isn't young anymore. She has to marry too. After my wedding, replace Ava a blind date."

Ava's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? I'm not getting married."

Louise looked at Ava and smiled. "Ava, this is for your good."

Marshall said, "What Louise said makes sense. You're not young anymore. You're so rude. You need someone to watch over you."

Ava looked at Marshall. "Dad, I don't want to go on a blind date. I am in love with someone."

Marshall asked, "Who?"

Ava pouted but did not say the name. "Anyway, don't worry about me."

Marshall glared at Ava. "I'll deal with you after your sister's wedding."

Ava pursed her lips and poked at the mashed potato. She looked at Louise, who was smiling at her. That look was a warning.
