“I should have told them sooner.”
She kept putting it off, not wanting to cause them concern, always thinking she’d let them know later. But ultimately, they discovered the truth in a shocking manner. She felt she had been ungrateful.
Rebecca reassured her. “What’s done is done, so try not to dwell on it. The main focus now is the divorce. I plan to speak with Luke again today.”
“He’s moved to the floor above mine.”
“What?” Rebecca exclaimed. “He left you stranded at the airport yesterday and chose Tina, didn’t he? Then he should just proceed with the divorce without dragging it out. Why is he bouncing between the two of you!”
“Who knows what he’s up to? I just hope he and Tina stay glued together and leave me alone.”
Recalling a post on Instagram, Vespera felt a slight unease. She suspected that Tina and the Sowle family might stir up trouble for her in the future.
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. She had already made an enemy of the Sowle family at the charity gala.
At the same time, Luke, who had been heavily drunk the previous night, received a call from the Sole family. They informed him that Tina, who was overwhelmed by the Instagram incident, had attempted suicide by slitting her wrists. They urged him to come over immediately.
Luke was taken aback. As he made his way there, he scrolled through Instagram, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Meanwhile, at the Munoz residence, Felicia’s phone was incessantly ringing. Watching the two worsen in the video, she wished they would just vanish.
Luke’s father, Henry Munoz, had hurried back from Ameridia after the charity gala. He had been staying there for an extended period due to health issues. Upon discovering Luke’s affair, Vespera’s departure from the company, and the scandalous scene at the charity gala, he was so furious that he nearly suffered a stroke.
Throughout the years, Henry had observed Vespera’s significant contributions to the company. Initially, he had some reservations about her not coming from a notable family. However, over time, he grew to admire her. Vespera proved to be an exceptionally capable individual, demonstrating a steady personality, loyalty, and a readiness to make selfless contributions to the company. Beyond her professional skills, she possessed striking looks, high intelligence, as well as emotional intelligence. With such impressive traits, if she were to continue the Munoz family legacy and have children, they would undoubtedly be remarkable.
“I’ve heard Luke is making efforts to win Vespera back. Find an opportunity to invite her for dinner and offer her a sincere apology. As for the individual from the Sowle family… end things with her as soon as possible,” Henry remarked while having breakfast.
He believed that if the Munoz family could lower their pride, regaining Vespera’s favor wouldn’t be too challenging.
Felicia irritably placed the phone in front of him. “Look at this. Which of these two women is easier to handle?”
Henry glanced at the screen and dismissed it with a wave. “Vespera’s got real courage. That vixen from the Sowle family was trying to seduce Luke. She had it coming. If you’re not going to invite Vespera, I will.”
Felicia replied, “Fine, go ahead if that’s what you want. I don’t care anymore.”
She stood up, her chest tight and her breathing shallow. Outside, her phone rang again, adding to her irritation.
Semina’s name on the caller ID; her face turned pale with tears. Unlike Vespera, who merely annoyed her, Tina genuinely frightened her. She declined the call.
Soon, a voice message arrived. “Mrs. Munoz, it really saddens me that you dislike me so much now.”
The voice was soft and sorrowful. After a brief pause, there was a low, sinister laugh. “Oh, by the way, Mrs. Munoz, I stumbled upon a little secret of yours. Sunlit Estate. Wow, I didn’t expect you to still be so vibrant at your age.”
Felicia’s mind went blank, and her face turned ashen. She quickly and unsteadily made her way outside. Seeing no one around, she called Tina back, her voice trembling. “You… How did you find out about this? What do you want?”
