Suddenly, he yelled, “Sophia, I oppose Sheila and Davin’s engagement!”
Hearing that, Sheila responded swiftly, “Who do you think you are? My matters with Davin are none of your business!”
As the situation started to escalate, Sophia wanted to hang up the phone. “Alright, that’s enough! Why are the two of you quarreling now?”
Sheila felt wronged. “Sophia, I’m standing in solidarity with Tiffany. If Levant chooses to treat Tiffany high-handedly, I’ll make him pay!”
“It’s not easy to be in Tiffany’s shoes. As a woman, she needs to manage the company and take care of the baby. On top of that, her struggles are now being downplayed and disregarded. Truth be told, Levant should not blame Tiffany. Rather, he should reflect on himself and not complain about Tiffany!” Nicole finally joined the conversation.
Sheila couldn’t agree more. “Exactly! Nicole, it’s fortunate that you’re not in a relationship with him, or you’ll be the one being bullied! I think I should go and check up on Tiffany and ask her to marry someone else. This way, she can finally cut ties with Levant.”
After that, Sheila hastily sprang into action. Nevertheless, Sophia stopped her before she could do anything. “Hey, stop exaggerating! Firstly, Levant and Tiffany do not have feelings for each other. Anyway, Levant is just worried about the baby. Yes, he’s to be blamed, and I’ll talk to him about it. However, don’t get involved in their feud. I mean just look at you – you’re even angrier than Tiffany! You getting involved will only make things worse.”
Sheila was startled. “Sophia, you shouldn’t defend him just because he’s your nephew!”
“Don’t worry about it. If you recall, even though Davin is my son, I’m always on your side every time you and Davin get into a fight.” Sophia answered.
Sheila thought about it and agreed that Sophia was a fair-minded person.
Fine, I’ll leave it to Sophia and stay out of this. Though, I’ll call Tiffany tonight to check up on her.
Just then, Maya proposed, “Aunt Sheila, you’ll need to be patient, or else you’ll risk jeopardizing the matter. How about I make you some dessert? I guarantee it’ll make you feel better!”
Sheila beamed at Maya. “All right. I’ll wait for your dessert!”
In the meantime, Sophia was relieved after knowing that Sheila dismissed her plan. “Enjoy your dessert. Meanwhile, I’ll return to the Seet Residence and call Morris. He’ll teach Levant a lesson.”
“You’d better get going then! If you need my help, ask ahead!” Sophia smiled at Sheila bitterly and left the Imperial Garden.
After that, only Sheila and Nicole remained in the living room. The two of them exchanged glances, and Nicole abruptly smiled. “You’re really good at arguing!”
“Nicole, I’m protecting the rights of women!” Sheila replied.
“You’re right. Regarding this matter, I think that…” Nicole
The duo continued with their discussion.
In the bedroom upstairs, Nina slowly closed the curtains and shielded her room from the bright sunlight outside. Although it was still early in the afternoon, her room was dark as the night sky. Next, she lay on her bed and stared at her own notebook, her face as pale as paper.
In her notebook, it was fully scribbled with words. The notebook was filled with the recipes for cosmetic ingredients taught by Chris.
Every page of the notebook refreshed the memory of her interaction with Chris. His every movement and charming smile were vividly imprinted in her mind.
As she flipped the pages, she abruptly smirked in sarcasm.
Then, she warned herself repeatedly. “These are all lies! Lies! You should hate and forget about him!”
Tears started streaming down her pale cheeks…
This time, she finally realized that the more she wanted to forget about him, the harder it became.
She was determined to forget about Chris. Having said that, this could not be achieved in a short span of time. In fact, it might even need a very, very long time.
Three years? Five years? Ten years? It doesn’t matter how long it takes, I will try to forget about him! I will forget about this liar!
I must…
