The moment her finger touched Jayce's tongue; Mary felt as if she had been electrocuted.

She could not help but want to retract her finger, but Jayce grabbed her tightly!

She looked at Jayce with a dumbfounded expression. What… was he doing?

Jayce licked the blood stains on Mary's fingertip and sucked gently before putting her hand down.

“I'll help you clean it up. Be careful next time, okay?”

Jayce patted Mary's head gently and finally left.

Mary looked at the crystal-like saliva still hanging on her finger and panted heavily.

In the second half of the banquet, Mary danced with Henry again. Then, she hid in a corner and started eating.

When the dinner was over, Mary thought she could finally go home and rest.

But Henry and Diana said they had an important announcement to make.

And it had something to do with Mary.

The guests had already left, and the servants were packing up, and Diana and Henry were waiting for them in the conference room in the side hall.

The Hall Family's seven sons did not usually live on the estate, so they stayed back tonight because Henry had said so in advance.

Except for Herman, who had already gone home to sleep, the other four sons who had come back today were all there.

Everyone sat down on the sofa in turn, and Mary sat alone on the green sofa.

She was as beautiful as a flower, and no one had fully noticed that tonight.

Henry put his arm around his wife, looked at his beautiful new daughter and asked, “Mary dear, I think you and these brothers already know each other, right?”

Mary nodded, “Yes, Henry. Thank you and mom for specially preparing this dinner for me. Although it's so grand that I can't handle it, I hope I didn't embarra.s.s you.”

Henry said, “Of course not, sweetheart. In fact, your performance was very, very perfect. Your etiquette was perfect, your dancing was perfect, and you're beautiful and cute. You're even more outstanding than we imagined. Your mom is proud of you, and even I feel the pride of having a daughter!”

Mary did not know if Henry was being polite or telling the truth, but looking at her mother's expression, she was at least not disappointed.

Mary accepted the compliment.

Only then did Henry look at his sons, and his eyes flashed.

“From today onwards, you will have a sister. I hope that everyone can live together in harmony and love each other.”

Griffith did not seem to agree.

Hugh and Monroe did not show their true expressions on their faces.

Only the eldest son, Jayce, had a gentle expression and seemed to agree with these words.

“Another thing is that Diana and I are preparing to travel around the world for our honeymoon. We are not sure how long it will be.”

“The only thing that Diana and I are worried about is Mary. We want Mary to integrate into the Hall family as soon as possible, so when we come back, we hope that you will have become real siblings.”

The four sons of the Hall family did not seem to have expected this.

“You're not coming back for Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas?”

Although the Hall family was a wealthy family, they had always paid attention to these family gathering days.

Henry shrugged. “I have to be absent this year. However, you can take Mary with you for the holidays.”

“We don't know her well, daddy. That's not good!”

Monroe's face was as bad as his mood.

Although he controlled the underground dynasty in New York and was usually a bloodthirsty and cruel person, he still retained a rare side of warmth for his family.

Monroe suppressed his emotions and did not explode. However, he was thinking in his heart, who would want to bear the burden of an unlikable sister?

Moreover, he did not agree with Mary being a part of them in his heart.
