Elizabeth and Sophie are excited to meet at a branded clothing shop. First, they forgot about finding Stella. Their priority right now is buying a nice dress for the event they will be attending next week.

“Do you think she could be our friend?” Sophie asked her friend.

“Of course, with this beauty of ours, why couldn’t we? When she becomes our friend, there will definitely be many who will be jealous of us.” Elizabeth’s chest heaved and winked at her friend.

What was trending on the news today was all about the granddaughter of the richest business person, not only in their country but abroad as well. It was also in the news that a woman was being choosy towards a friend and was rude.

Stella stopped choosing a dress when she heard the two women talking. She knew they were talking about her. The two voices were familiar to her, so she listened to them. She had just returned to the Philippines, but no one else knew except her grandfather.

“Miss, are you going to buy it?” the salesl

    At first glance, the manager immediately knew that her staff had judged the wrong person. She gave the staff an angry look before approaching the plainly dressed woman. “Ma’am, I’m sorry for what my staff did.” Sophie and Elizabeth were even more surprised because of what the manager was doing. “Hey, what are you doing? Do you know that that woman did not only do something bad to your staff?” Sophie said to the manager. The manager looked at the two women for a moment. Suddenly, she doubted what to do next. She needs to prioritize good customers because business is business.Stella extended her hand in front of Alex and he immediately gave her the gold card. “You can watch the surveillance camera footage, so you can find out who is really at fault here.”“Huh, you’re really arrogant! Who are you proud of, that old man you’re in love with?” Elizabeth asked Stella insultingly. A corner of Stella’s lips lifted and she shook her head. In that case, Charles was referring to Alex as hi

    “Useless! How can you not trace where she is? It’s clear that she’s just around the corner and hasn’t left the country!” Charles angrily slammed the folder he was holding on the table. Sophie, who was quiet inside her brother’s office, was shocked by her brother’s anger. “Sorry, sir, but even her clothing purchase record is not available.” Roy’s head was bowed and nervous. Charles hit the table again with his fist out of anger.“Brother, I think that the person whom Stella traded you to has a bigger connection. Perhaps she also changed her name to hide her background from the family of the person who she traded you.”Charles’ eyes was still sharp when he looked back at his sister. His sister may be right and his ego cannot accept that. He felt that his ex-wife had cheated on him and made a fool of him. No wonder when she signed the divorce papers. Perhaps the woman had been preparing for their separation for a long time. “She will definitely attend the event, brother.”Charles’ ey

    “Have you already chosen what to wear?” Fausto asked his granddaughter. “Yes, grandpa. How are you feeling?” She stroked her grandfather’s forehead. She knows his blood pressure rate has increased because of her cousins. She is really just waiting for her grandfather to introduce her to the public before she confronts those they suspect of being involved in her father’s death.“I’m fine, and don’t worry about me. You need to focus now on how to face them all and show you’re not weak!” She smiled sparingly at her grandfather. “I promised that I would not oppose your decisions in my life.”Fausto smiled again. It seemed that his granddaughter had learned to fight alone because of her experience in life. He should be thanking whoever impregnated her granddaughter.“Grandpa, as much as possible, I don’t want anyone else to know about my son.” Fausto nodded, he didn’t want others to meet his great-grandchild so far, especially since he was a boy. The child is now in the place where Stel

    Diana looked at the woman staring at them. When their eyes met, surprise appeared on her face. “Stella?”Stella didn’t wonder if the woman was surprised to see her. Well, she didn’t know her true personality, so she would definitely wonder why she was there and on that floor. She was about to step closer to the woman when the man she was talking to suddenly turned towards her. Earlier, Diana was the only one who was surprised to see her. Now, she was the one who was shocked when she saw the man. Charles frowned when he recognized the woman he was looking at. What he thought earlier was just a mishearing of the name Diana mentioned. He didn’t think that he would find his ex-wife, whom he had been looking for a long time, in that company alone.“Gosh, it’s you, Stella!” Diana exclaimed exasperatedly and quickly approached the woman. “What are you doing here? I mean, since when have you been an employee here at our company?” Stella wanted to roll her eyes, but she stopped herself. She

    “Sir, the meeting is about to start.” Charles turned to his secretary, who unknowingly followed him. He sighed before walking back to the conference room. Stella lost the will to go to the conference room. She also had a sudden headache, so she decided to leave. Alex quickly approached the girl and helped her get to the elevator. Charles clenched his fist when he saw the man with Stella. In that case, the same man was accompanied by his ex-wife. The man seems to have a connection to this company, so they are there. After getting off the elevator, the two faced him. Both of them gave each other a cold look before the elevator closed.“Are you all right, ma’am?” Alex asked the girl. “Let’s go straight to my son,” she whispered to Alex. The man did not ask any more questions and followed what the girl ordered. In the mansion, Fausto is restless while waiting for his assistant to call. He waited another twenty minutes until the phone rang. “Sir, I’m sorry if I called you just now.

    “Is he the one you said was your friend, Diana?” Vanz asked his sister. “Brother!” She smiled and held on to her brother’s arm. “That’s him, brother, and please don’t torture him here.”Mauro scratched the back of his neck and could no longer refuse the girl’s invitation. He knows Vanz. He knows that he is one of the nominees for CEO of that company today. Vanz faced the man with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you again. I apologize for being in the conference room earlier if I have a lot of questions.” Diana pursed her lips and gently pulled her brother’s arm. It means that she didn’t like what he did earlier.“I understand that business is business. Even if I were in your position, I would do the same. Thank you for being professional, and please don’t give me special treatment because your sister became my friend.”“Mauro, don’t worry because you are no longer at work, so my brother will talk to you like this. Get used to him because he treats everyone close to me like this.” Her

    “Ma’am, let me prepare you your favorite breakfast.” Marimar quickly moved away from the boss’s ex-wife. Stella tried to stop the maid, but she had already moved away. She looked back at Charles, as if she were hallucinating, when the strange emotion was reflected in his eyes. It was as if her sight was deceiving her, and she could read in Charles’ eyes that he longs for her. Charles blinks in realization. It was as if he hadn’t recognized his own feelings earlier and had briefly lost himself. “It’s good that there is still some consent left in your heart and you thought of visiting Grandpa.” The anger returned to her heart because of what the young man said. It seems that she was just deceived by her own eyes earlier. The man is still arrogant and has no love for her. He still thinks of her as a gold digger and a hypocrite.“I don’t want trouble. I didn’t come here to talk to you.” Charles was momentarily stunned by Stella’s cold conversation with him. He stared into her eyes, bu

    “Hija, be patient with my grandson. Don’t worry about me because there is a nurse who is already taking care of me. I am happy to see you today, and I am relieved because you seem to be happy with your life now.”Stella smiled and nodded to the old man before turning to Charles. “My husband is rich, so I don’t have to work hard to earn money.”Charles’s jaw tightened and moved. He couldn’t accept that his ex-wife no longer needed him because it looked like he had been replaced with a man with more money. “But don’t worry, I’ll still visit Grandpa Ramon and take care of him when I have time. I guess I am still welcome here anytime I want to come since this is my house, ain’t I?” “Of course, but let Grandpa stay here because he prefers to live here.”The young man’s face was formal when talking to her. She shook herself when she looked at his face again. The man seemed to be doing it with purpose, and he even grew his hair longer. “Don’t assume. You’re not the reason why he grew his

    “Sir, this way.” A man, who was obviously waiting for them to arrive, greeted them.Zion almost ran into the VIP room where, reportedly, there was a commotion. They were following the manager, and he was stunned in his stance when he saw what the room looked like. He immediately saw his wife, who seemed to have struggled with the wine bottle against a man.“Sir, this woman is the one who made this mess. She wants to break all the drinks here, and I’m stopping her,” Ben explained to the manager.Alexa still didn’t want to let go of the wine bottle even though she knew someone could save her. “Don’t believe him, sir. They are addicts, and they want to exploit me!”Right at that moment, Zion realized what happened to his wife. He angrily pushed the manager out of the door, and he entered.Alexa’s eyes widened when she saw her husband. She quickly let go of the bottle and raised her hands as if surrendering. “Babe, I’m not guilty! They force me to drink!”Jackie stared at Zion when she sa

    From Alexa’s sharp gaze to Jackie, she slowly got up and smiled at Ben. “You really want me to drink that, yeah?”Suddenly, the smile on Jackie’s lips was slowly vanishing. She was not pleased by Alexa’s naughtiness in talking to Ben. But she brushes her thoughts away and waits.The aura of Ben’s face cleared, and he smiled. “I thought you were not easy to talk to. Don’t worry, and I’ll make sure you don’t regret going to this party.” A malicious smile formed on the man’s lips.Alexa smiled and took the glass with wine in it from the man’s hand. The man intentionally touched her finger, but she just let him.Jackie smiled again when Alexa turned around to face her as she drank the wine. She almost consumed the contents of the glass, which satisfied her. Everyone applauded, and the girls cheered. She grinned and was about to applaud at Alexa as well, but she didn’t expect what she did next.“Holy crap!” Men exclaimed in chorus.“Ewww!” The women disgustedly exclaimed too, looking unbel

    “What is that woman doing here?” Liza asked her cousin.“Why are you asking me? I don’t know the celebrant either. Ask your boyfriend instead,” she replied to Liza’s question as she remained staring at Jackie.Liza didn’t entertain her cousin’s philosophical response. They need to sit between the two men.“Hi, what’s your name?” The man asked Alexa.Alexa ignored the man next to her. If you are looking at them, they seem like partners, so do Liza and the man next to her. When she glanced at Jackie, she smiled at her beautifully. She started to feel something fishy. And because she was busy looking at Jackie, she didn’t notice her cousin now drinking alcohol.“Hey, here’s your drink.” Ben reached for a wine glass to hand to Alexa.“Thanks, but I don’t drink.” Alexa refused the man’s offer.“Oh, come on, no one has refused my offer. It’s your first time in this place, so you can’t refuse me,” Ben insisted.Alexa’s ears perked up after hearing what the man said, especially when everyone

    Zion’s forehead crumpled when his cellphone rang again. The tone indicated that there was a new text message. He looked at his wristwatch. It’s still early, and he intended to finish reading and signing the documents that were now piled up while his wife was busy at the party. He was planning to go on vacation with Alexa, so he has to finish his office work as soon as possible. When his cellphone rang again, he looked at it.“Babe, I miss you!” He smiled after reading Alexa’s first message. The next one was ‘I love yous,’ so he smiled even more. But when he received another new message, a smile on his lips abruptly vanished.She giggled when she read Zion’s reply. “Stop being naughty, baby. Reduce your lipstick.”Alexa faced the mirror after reading her husband’s message. She sent him a picture of herself while pouting, and her husband only noticed her lipstick. Her lips were normally red even without lipstick, but now they look seductive.Zion quickly called his wife through video ca

    When Alexa read what everyone had in mind while they were looking at her and Liza flabbergastedly, she wanted to laugh. Normally, they will react like that—because after the internship, they became friends. And since their classmates compare them to dogs and cats, it was a shocking revelation!“Huh! Why wonder? Family relationships are stronger than all others,” said Loida.“Alexa is richer than she is, so she friended her,” Dina agreed.“Come on, don’t mind them.” Liza stopped Alexa when she tried to rush the woman. It was just ridiculous. Her situation and Alexa’s reversed: the one who used to be bullied and oppressed now looks like her protector.“You’re right, I’m richer, so you should shut your mouth, and I might have put coins in it!” Alexa even widened her eyes at Dina, who immediately calmed down.Liza had just shaken her head over her cousin’s straightforwardness. To the ears of people with secret anger and envy toward Alexa, she sounded boastful. But since her mindset has ch

    Alexa’s way of walking towards Liza and her companion is like a bull that will rush to the enemy. When Liza saw her, she seemed to see a ghost and immediately let go of embracing Dave.“Liza, why are you still talking to that guy? Don’t tell me you are going to let that jerk fool you again,” Alexa said angrily to her cousin.“Alexa, it’s just…” Liza didn’t know how to explain to her cousin in a way that she would not be angry.“Alexa, can’t you still move on from me, and you don’t want me to be with your cousin?” Dave asked the woman sadly.Alexa looked at the man disgustedly and acted as if she was going to vomit. “Dave, it looks like the wind in your head is growing. Have you ever had a psychiatrist check up on you?”Even if he felt so annoyed, the expression on Dave’s face remained sad. He looks at his girlfriend pityingly.Liza quickly approached her cousin and pleaded with her. “Alexa, he apologized to me and wanted to make it up to me.”“Have you forgiven him that easily after d

    “You know what, it’s just a girl’s advice. Don’t force yourself on a man who doesn’t love you. Even if you attract him, you can only get his body and cum. Your relationship will not be as perfect as you could have dreamed of, especially when it’s out of horniness.Jackie’s cheeks were red with embarrassment and anger. She was embarrassed even though Alexa didn’t know what she had done last night and who was with her.“Maybe it’s clear to you that Zion is only mine, right? So when you try to rob him, I don’t just do what I’ve done to you. I’m selfish when it comes to my loved one. Take everything and my money, but not Zion.” Alexa even widened her eyes to threaten Jackie.“Stay away from me!”Alexa laughed; the woman was shooing her away, but she was also the one who was stepping closer to her. Threatening the woman worked effectively. Such dialogues are really from the dramas she watches; she remembers them, and she has used them now. She was proud as she turned away from Jackie and w

    Dave smiled and approached Jackie, offering his hand for a handshake. “Do I still need to introduce myself to you?”Jackie smiled and accepted the young man’s handshake. When he squeezed her palm, a strange smile on her lips slid down.“I’ll give you a ride, and let’s not talk here.” Dave never let go of the girl’s palm.Jackie followed the young man. She didn’t bring her car since she was with Jenny earlier. She never asked where he was going to take her. She knew him, and she knew he was Liza’s former boyfriend. And because she was also annoyed with that woman, she thought she would include her in her revenge.Dave brought Jackie to a nightclub. While planning, they drank wine until they were both drunk.Jackie didn’t know where Dave had brought her. All she could know was that they were both naked and he was lying over her.

    “I think that bitch had something to do with the trouble along the way, so you couldn’t get here. Look at her; she was so confident that she would be with Zion as he climbed onto the stage.”Alexa smiled at her cousin. She could feel her frustration with Jackie. “Let her go, and today will be the last day she hopes for Zion.” She even patted her cousin on the shoulder.Liza was still frowning while fixing her cousin’s messy hair. Fortunately, she had a makeup kit with her, so she retouched her face, which was almost covered with sweat.“Zion, are you okay?” Jackie asked the man, sounding concerned.“Are you nervous, brother, because sister Alexa isn’t here yet?” Jenny asked as well. But she was calm because Alexa had texted her earlier and said she was close.“I don’t think she’ll come because she’s shy. Even if I were in her position, I might not show up. Her life status doesn’t suit someone like the CEO,” Jackie said; it was as if she looked sad.Jenny quickly grabbed her brother’s
