“I hope we can get along better as friends,” Anastasia told her.
“I want to be your friend too. I’m not sure why, but I have a feeling we’ll hit it off right away.” Lorelai complimented her on her beauty, saying, “You are so beautiful.”
“And you’re just as gorgeous yourself,” Anastasia responded.
“People claim that beautiful women tend to fight with each other. I don’t think this statement is accurate since we can be really great friends,” Lorelai said.
“Yeah!” Anastasia exclaimed, nodding in agreement.
Anastasia went back to her villa after the tea party. Elliot took Jared out to sea for fishing, and they would not be back until later in the afternoon. It was a great chance for her to finish making preparations for the wedding.
When Anastasia was getting ready to take a nap in the afternoon, Adriana came in and said, “Madam, someone named Katrina wants to see you.”
“Please invite her in. Anastasia said after being slightly startled.
Soon, Katrina entered in her sexy attire. ‘I hope I didn’t bother you, Anastasia!” She greeted her warmly and when she looked at Anastasia’s luxurious home, she felt a little envious.
“Not at all. Did you have fun on the island? When is your brother going to come? Anastasia asked.
“He said that he would arrive no later than tomorrow morning.” Katrina sat on the couch and whispered on purpose, ‘Is your husband not at the villa?”
Anastasia responded, “He went out to the
sea for fishing”
Katrina sighed with relief. “That’s good.” As soon as she finished speaking, she took out her phone and brought up the video clip she had taken in the morning. “Anastasia, take a look at this. I’m doing it for you. This footage was captured by pure coincidence.”
Anastasia then took the phone, which showed a video recording of Lorelai and Elliot having a lovely conversation. She had never seen a woman having such a pleasant chat with Elliot before.
‘Since she’s a Presgrave, you could perhaps assume she’s Elliot’s sister. Please delete this video clip!” She returned the phone to Katrina.
“A family member of the Presgraves?” After pausing for a few while, Katrina. said, “It seems like I’m overcomplicating things.”
After that, she deleted the video clip from her phone. “Anastasia, I need to ask you a question: do any of the guests here have the last name of Weiss? Would you mind introducing the two of us?”
‘I don’t know Young Master Weiss. He’s Elliot’s guest,’ Anastasia replied with the shake of her head because she could tell what Katrina was thinking.
It seemed to Katrina that Anastasia was harboring a grudge and refused to make the introductions. She sulked and
remarked after that, ‘Still holding me responsible for things that happened in the past? Under those circumstances, you are indeed not suitable to be with my brother.”
“I’m done talking about the past now. I am grateful to your brother for his kindness, which I will always cherish.” Anastasia sipped from the tea cup in an attempt to get Katrina to leave the room.
Katrina took the hint and stood up. “Then, I’ll stop bothering you. I’m sorry for what went wrong in the past. Don’t hold anything against me. I hope that when you become the Young Mistress of the Presgrave Family, you will continue to help us.”
Her attitude changed quickly toward those in positions of power to her advantage.
“I’ll take care of your brother at the Bourgeois Jewelry Atelier where he works,” Anastasia responded, indicating that she would support Katrina’s brother rather than her.
Even if Katrina was still resentful, she couldn’t do anything but apologize to Anastasia with a smile. That’s awesome. I no longer have to worry about his future.”
She left the room.
Anastasia held the teacup in her palm,
but her mind was preoccupied with the
video. Elliot and Lorelai were childhood
friends who grew up together. She learned from Old Madam Presgrave that it was best to keep her feelings and
anger hidden and not show them.
In the future, she would need to deal with the people and affairs of the whole Presgrave Family, and she should have the most faith in her husband. She did not want to suspect anything and trust in her husband, and there was nothing more important than trusting in someone you care about deeply.
