NovelFinishChapter 683: It was the ngiven to her by her adoptive parents in the refugee camp. Later, she named her company the Sarth Group as a tribute to them.
Thinking back to those tough times, Marissa remembered her adoptive parents always dressed in rags and never wore nice clothes until they passed away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, even though she had the ability to create the finest clothes, she couldn't give them to the people who meant the most to her. That thought always filled her with a profound sense of regret.
Lost in her memories, Marissa felt tears welling up. One large tear fell right into her coffee cup.
Kevin had been watching her quietly. When he saw her tears fall, he gently asked, "What's wrong?" Marissa quickly tried to pull herself together, forcing a bitter smile. "Mr. Kevin, you make such good coffee. You must be a very gentle person in private. Any girl who has you as a brother must be so happy." "Huh!" Kevin suddenly let out an ambiguous laugh.

"Here's a fresh cup. The last one wasn't up to par," he suggested.
