As Eva went downstairs in the evening, she noticed her alleged mother-in-law arrive with a group of women who appeared to be wealthy.

as she descended the stairs, her eyes scanning the room with a sense of trepidation. There, in the midst of the opulent living room, stood Eleanor, Rafael's mother, surrounded by a cluster of women who exuded an aura of superiority. Their designer clothes, dripping with diamonds and pearls, seemed to scream "wealth" and "status.".

Eva recognized the tactic instantly—Eleanor had deliberately brought these women here to intimidate her and make her feel like an outsider. The cold, calculating glances they cast her way only confirmed her suspicions.

"Ah, Eva, dear," Eleanor said, her voice dripping with condescension. "I'm so glad you could join us. I've brought some of my friends to meet you. This is Victoria, wife of Reginald Thornton-Furst, and Helena, wife of James Parker-Smyth."

    "How dare you come in front of me?" Rafael said angrily."I have come to talk and nothing else," said Alexander calmly.Rafael's eyes narrowed, his face red with rage.
