Chapter 188 She had a thing for girls who carried themselves with ease and openness. In her words, if someone had a small- minded appearance, it was likely their spirit and grace were just as limited.

Judging people by their looks is generally frowned upon, but Jacqueline has seen enough of the world to have her opinions hold weight.

"I can't help you," I told her straight up.

"Why not?" Haley panicked a bit.

I bit my lip lightly. "Jacqueline has a strong sense of self. It's not easy to sway her." "But she adores you. She might listen to you," Haley pleaded, her eyes dropping in a display of vulnerability. "You know my situation. Without Rad, I don't know how I'd survive." Her husband was gone, and she wasn't worried back then, but now, the thought of Conrad leaving her was unbearable.

I nearly laughed.

"If you know how much Jacqueline adores me, then you should understand she'd never accept you," because in Jacqueline's eyes, I was the only daughter-in-law she'd ever accept. No one else would do.

Haley fell silent.

"Ms. Perez, the happiness you seek is something you have to fight for yourself, not depend on others for," I said, standing up.

"What if there were no kids involved, would his family acceptthen?" Haley murmured.

Hadn't I made myself clear already? But I was too tired to explain further and walked away.

When Fanny heard about Haley's request, she shook her head and laughed, "The nerve of that woman." I said, "She might have a chance with Conrad, but officially becoming a part of the Wagner family? That's a tall order." I knew Herschel and Jacqueline well. Herschel was all about appearances and reputation.

Conrad was open to choosing an average girl; social status wasn't his top priority, but she absolutely had to have a clean background.

And Jacqueline, she'd never let her son step into a role that belittled him.

"She knows it's a long shot, that's why she cto you for a backdoor in. You didn't agree, did you?" Fanny asked.

We clinked glasses. "Do you think I'm brainless, or heartless?" Fanny laughed softly, shaking her head. "Conrad seems perfectly capable, yet here we are, wondering what got into him." "Whatever it is, it's no longer my concern. Let's not let him spoil our mood," I downed my glass of wine.

The red wine was rich, slightly bitter but sweet, warming my heart...

I could hold my liquor, but a few glasses in, and I was feeling the buzz. Eventually, Fanny insisted on takinghome, but I refused.

"I want to go to my own place," I slurred.

Fanny looked at me. "Got something on your mind? Thinking about your neighbor, Ernest?" I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, but who knows if that dog's htoday?" When Fanny droppedoff, Ernest's door was shut. I knocked, "Ernest, open up. Don't avoid me; I know you're in there." "He's probably not back yet," Fanny suggested after a while with no response.

"He is. He's just avoiding me. All 2. Ability. Now he's because I kissed him without taking Now he's making a big deal out of it," I vented to Fanny.

W Her eyes sparkled with gossip. "You kissed him? You made the first move? Licia, going for the bold move!" "It was just a kiss. If we had actually line

slept together, then his reaction might have been justified," said shaking my head. "This man@an't take a joke."

Fanny looked shocked. "Licia, are you serious about Ernest? "Yeah," I burped, the alcohol bolstering wanna my courage. "I really.

1 his pecs, feel his abst rip off his tank top, check out maybe..."

I didn't finish my sentence when the door suddenly flew open. Therem stood Exnest, his hair damp, looking right at me. Ashburn >
