Nothing is more delightful in Jane's mind than seeing and witnessing for herself how the person she respects and admires looks happily devouring her dish. Even countless praises have slipped from her lips adorned with maroon lipstick. The appearance of the middle-aged woman hasn't changed much since the last time they met. However, Jane can't hide one thing; Kate seems restless, thinking about something.
But Jane doesn't want to get too involved. She's just an outsider and will always be that way. There's no more connection between the two of them. Jane gladly accepts Kate's visit as a form of hope; don't sever their relationship. Even though Jane no longer carries the name Don William.
"You're truly skilled in the kitchen, Darling." Kate smiles widely, wiping the corners of her lips with the available napkin. "I enjoy every bite you serve."
"I feel happy and grateful that Mommy still likes my cooking."
Kate pouts annoyed. "You know, I often miss your hom

"Can't you get rid of that wrinkle on your face, Olive?" Fabian asks, still with his comical laughter. His hands skillfully handle the steering wheel. Occasionally, he observes the not-too-crowded road ahead. Perhaps it's because it's not yet a crucial hour, so he can still drive freely."How can I be calm when the madness begins?"Fabian bursts into laughter for the umpteenth time. "You're truly entertaining, Olive. Your sister's attitude makes the atmosphere lively.""You do have weird taste." Jane folds her arms, takes a deep breath, but can't do anything but follow what Fabian asks.The arrival of this man is not without reason. A cup of coffee that Jane made and a hint to end his visit promptly ended up trapping Jane inside Fabian's car. Complete with a suitcase containing his equipment for attending the SEO boutique inauguration on Long Island."I didn't expect you to be familiar with Mommy," Jane says after trying to normalize her emotions.

[Giselle: I've been here for two hours. Are you still on the way?][Harvey: Stopped by the snack store while sneaking around because I'm with Brina.][Ursula: My flight from Milan got delayed. I hope I won't miss the big party.]Messages in the group chat made Jane break into a wide smile. She had just arrived at the airport with... Fabian, of course. Two SEO staff members were there to pick them up and immediately asked to pick up the pace. Jane mentioned at exit two, the news seekers had appeared, waiting for Jane's arrival.It wasn't a big deal for Jane to just greet them. Fabian, as the owner, didn't mind, but Jane's schedule on Long Island was quite tight. Before finally gathering and officially inaugurating the new SEO boutique there.Although still dominated by the Lavender collection, Fabian still showcased the latest offerings. This included reproducing best-selling fashion from year to year. A few modifications turned out to bring a breath of fresh air to SEO."Come in," Fab

"Handing Merry over to someone else?" Fabian frowned disapprovingly. "I'd rather be with Merry on the highway than being driven by someone else.""Is Merry your only car?""Not really." Fabian seemed to be rubbing his chin. "But Merry is my favorite car. I found luck with her.""Contrary to me who had the misfortune of meeting Merry."Fabian laughed again. "No need to dwell on old wounds. It hurt you, not me."Talking to you does require expanding one's patience." Jane prepared to tidy up the dirty dishes on the dining table. However, her movements were, of course, halted by Fabian."Let me do the cleanup." He asked Jane to sit comfortably in the living room. "As a guest who should know his place, I can still handle cleaning up the dirty part. Don't worry, there won't be the sound of a broken plate."Jane eventually let Fabian do as he pleased. After all, she was a bit tired today. Ugh! This is all Fabian's fault, right? Just let it b

Calysta smiled happily at all the dishes already on her dining table. No need to fuss in the kitchen; she just had to order from the restaurant Austin liked. After all, he didn't complain much about the food served on the table. He devoured everything along with compliments if she could serve him well.Unfortunately..."Ugh! In my big house later, I'm sure I won't be able to do something as easy as this." Calysta pouted in frustration. "But it doesn't matter." Her lips created a broad grin. "I can rule as I please. Besides, a housewife is not needed in the kitchen. She just has to order the servants to make whatever she wants." Calysta clapped her small hands in support of her recent thoughts."My wedding is in two weeks. The preparations are going smoothly with no problems." So happy, she circled the dining table. Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Ah, I can't wait to move into that house."Even though the face of Kate Don William suddenly appeared in h

Calysta squirmed a bit, gently moving the muscular arm of the man who was sound asleep next to her. From any angle, she admired how God created a Don Austin William. Her heart was still the same as when they first met and eventually fell in love. But now, it was more dominated by wanting more than just being loved. She wants everything the man possesses. Including his wealth. After adopting the name Don William, Calysta is confident it will be easier to control Austin from within. Just showing a guilty face, fake tears, and trembling lips, saying things she doesn't know but has been carefully prepared, he easily believes. In fact, if Calysta may speak the truth, Austin is truly caught in his deception."Sweet dreams, Honey," she says while gently stroking Austin's head. She slowly gets up not to disturb the deep sleep of the man lost in dreams. She has to execute the next plan.Confident steps lead to the dressing room, opening a large wardrobe where there's a hidden d

Calysta slams her phone down a bit roughly. Her hand immediately gestures frustration, and her annoyed gaze scans the surroundings. Despite multiple sighs, the heaviness afflicting her doesn't fade away. "Why did Aunt show me this?"Samantha, who just enjoyed her latte, grins slyly. She places the cup down and smiles meaningfully. "It means you still don't have the influence they do, Calysta.""What do you mean?" Calysta straightens her back a bit."You know, Calysta." Samantha isn't relishing the anger displayed by the woman in front of her. She came to meet her this afternoon to discuss the latest news. The SEO branch opening in Long Island was attended by many celebrities and influential figures in the country, including the wives of businessmen with well-known names and SEO clients scattered nationwide.However, Calysta didn't receive an invitation. Samantha thought, judging by her standards, isn't Calysta one of the top SEO model's friends? Calysta h

"Giselle, you're not really interrupting my rest time, right?" Jane asks, observing Jane standing beside her. They're already in the elevator moving down to the lobby."No, don't worry about it." Jane laughs. "Besides, I can't sleep right away when my body is too tired.""Thank goodness." Giselle sighs in relief. "I was afraid of disturbing you."As the elevator stops, the door opens automatically, and Giselle leads the way. The hotel lobby area isn't as crowded as when they arrived a while ago, perhaps because it's getting late, and many guests are resting in their rooms.The coffee shop Giselle mentioned looks quite convincing in terms of appearance. Jane doesn't pay much attention when they arrive in the lobby, perhaps because fatigue has set in, so all Jane thinks about is lying down, straightening her back, and relieving all tiredness in her room. The dominance of black and brown from the outer walls and decorative ornaments around the shop looks bea

Giselle's face turns sour. She takes a sip of her chocolate right away. Regardless of traces on her lips, she says, "If Fabian's influence can no longer cover the news about me, I don't care. I can make her powerless too.""Well, that's what I'm gonna do. I still haven't thrown away the evidence that Calysta started it all. I kept quiet, I accepted all the kindness from Austin or Calysta as long as I still held the wife status. I believe, if this news spreads, there's a possibility of a sensation happening that can't be stopped. Who loses? Me too. Surely there are many who want to dig into my life."Giselle nods immediately. "Then we're on the same page.""I can't rely on Fabian about my past life. It's not his responsibility either, right?"The beautiful girl who is Jane's conversational partner laughs. "You're right. I just can't believe why we can have a connection with the same person."Because of that laughter, Jane is also caught up in the at
