How does it fee] having a stepson "What do you mean by my stepson?!" Arlina's eyebrows shot upwards in shock. "How did it happen? What the hell did he do?" "From what I heard, Second Young Master brought him to Malfoy Group" Amelia answered.
"He brought him to such a confidential place? What the hell is he even thinking!!" "But he solved the problem, Boss. He tracked the goods!" "Well, that's the problem! I really hate that boy! How did he even manage to track the goods when your brother couldn't do it?" Arlina's voice was laced with anger and uncertainty. "The
boy is hiding something from everyone. First, he treated Old Master Scavo and now, he tracked something?! He's going to be a hindrance, I can feel i "What should I do now, Boss?" Amelia asked. "Should I look into him more thoroughly?" "Not at all. Now that Trinder's birthday banquet is tomorrow, you can return to your office and prepare. I have a phone call to make." After Amelia left, Arlina quickly picked up her phone to make a call.
"Have you found it?" She asked the person she called. After some seconds, she ended the call. A satisfying smile appeared on her lips and she dropped her phone.
- Sw *15 BONUS It doesn't matter if the boy tracked the goods now.
Meanwhile, Duane received words that the goods had been tracked. He had to inquire again as to whether Jeff had truly tracked the goods because he was so shocked by what he was hearing.
He went back inside, meeting the gazes of the elderly folks still sitting around.
"The goods have been found," Duane said, not standing on ceremony. "I am going to investigate the source of this and identify the person responsible." "Are you suspecting us now?" Victor yelled indignantly. "We are still your elders, Duane."
"I'don't care" Duane spoke, uttering them speechless. "I will not remain silent if I ever discover that any.of you are connected to this occurrence. You can all go back now, my Father needs to rest." As the clock struck four in the evening, the grand ballroom of the Trinder estate came to life.
A huge room full of chandeliers made of crystal. A cozy and welcoming glow was created by the dancing light of the flickering candles on the walls.
There were members of several aristocratic families there, all of them elegantly and gracefully clad in their finest apparel.

Arlina arrived, her stylish appearance attracting a lot of attention. She was the wife of the legendary Duane Malfoy and not only that, one of the Queens in the business world.
Amelia, her devoted secretary, trailed behind her.
Everyone was quite surprised because of Arlina's appearance.
Within the elite circle, word had long been spread that Arlina and Madam Trinder's last daughter were not on good terms. Back then, there was a tale that circulated for a while regarding them.
Prior to their development as rivals,
Arlina and Madam Trinder's last daughter were friends.
Their animosity toward one another was sparked by this altercation.
"What if Miss Trinder isn't happy to see you?" Amelia had to ask Arlina. She had heard so many things about the so-called Miss Trinder.
"Isn't she married to one man like this?" Arlina spoke, expressing her distaste.
"Her husband is not popular and not from the elite family? Wow! I didn't know she would marry someone like that" Amelia answered.
"She is just another sly and crafty woman," Arlina scoffed. "Keep your eyes on Master Cleo. We are here for EY pets. ology Wi) B YA 0% 8 9

"Her husband is not popular and not from the elite family? Wow! I didn't know she would marry someone like that" Amelia answered.
"She is just another sly and crafty woman," Arlina scoffed. "Keep your eyes on Master Cleo. We are here for him, not this stupid birthday
party." "Yes, Boss." As the birthday banquet began officially, the last daughter of Madam Trinder also arrived with her husband.
Although she lacked Arlina's sense of style, she was still stunning.
Arlina had put in more effort to today's event. She dressed to kill and to be sincere all attention was on her.
Arlina caught the last child's eye, and they both looked at each other. As she walked over to Arlina, a smirk appeared on her lips.
"I'm wondering why the stylish Mrs.

"Well, well, well. It's nice to see you again, Ella Trinder" Arlina uttered.
"No longer Ella Trinder, I'm Ella Hemsworth, Arlina" Ella answered. | "Oh, the name of your husband. Your husband is quite handsome, I must say but this is a joyous day, you don't want to ruin it, do you?" "Tell me why you are here, Arlina! Are you here to make fun of me?" Ella scoffed, recalling what happened between them some months ago. She had called Arlina to inform her about seeing Amy with Jeff but the latter had ignored her and made Ella almost go to jail.
Jeff's actions that day would stick in Ella's memory! "Ella, you are not important to me. I don't care about your mother's birthday too" Arlina replied. "Don't
ruin your mother's birthday." Ella's eyes darted around to see if anyone was observing them, and she clenched her fist in frustration. Of course, they were the center of attention. Before parting ways, they were best friends in a corner.
It didn't end well then.
"How does it feel having a stepson, Arlina?" Ella questioned, stabbing Arlina in the face with her words. "An illegitimate son in the Malfoy Family. I suppose you were powerless to prevent this from occurring. What a shame." Arlina felt a sharp pain in her heart upon hearing Ella's words. She couldn't believe that she was friends with Ella. Indeed, genuine friendships are unmatched in the inner ring.
Everyone gives you a friendly smile and acts pleasant, but behind their backs they stab you.
"I'don't understand what you are saying" Arlina choked out her words.
"Have you not noticed the similarity between your stepson's surname and mine? Ella Hemsworth, Jeff Hemsworth" Ella laughed.
A deep sense of fear befell Arlina. She had not planned for this at all, nor did she anticipate this coincidence.
"So you..." What a ridiculous coincidence! "Well, Ella, it appears that you are content with your second-rate husband." Arlina would never give up,
never! Ella's eyes lit with feral fire as soon as she heard Arlina's words. She grabbed anearby cup of champagne and splashed it on Arlina, creating a buzz in the grand ballroom.
