"Don't worry, I'll be hsoon." Esther reassured her.

After ending the call, she let out a long sigh.

"Breakfast is ready." James got up and stood up straight. "Let's go."

Remembering the awkward moment, Esther nodded and headed to the bathroom, still feeling a bit overwhelmed by the morning's events.

Richard and Winona's upcoming wedding was the talk of the town. As the most eligible bachelor in Enswood, Richard attracted plenty of attention,

and people were eager to see who would win his heart.

Despite being the subject of envy and gossip, Winona remained unfazed. Marrying Richard meant she was the ultimate victor, and she saw no point

in engaging with jealous women.

One day, Pearl was surprised to see Winona at her office, looking somewhat annoyed.

"Why are you here instead of preparing for your wedding?" Pearl asked, her tone sharp.

Winona stood tall, her expression haughty. "Well, since you know I'm getting married soon, shouldn't you be offering your well wishes? As his ex-

fiancee, you surely want him to be happy.”

It was clear Winona was there to show off.

Pearl dropped her pen on the desk, her smile icy. "Tell me, what kind of well wishes are you expecting?"

Winona's smile faltered as Pearl's tone grew colder. "Are you upset? My apologies," she replied, refusing to back down. "I almost forgot how much

you loved Richard. Why would you bless him to be with another woman..."

Pearl studied Winona's face carefully before speaking in a serious tone. "That aside, your eyeliner is lopsided."

Winona's smile vanished. "What!"

"Listen, I'm not interested in your wedding. Enough of this, the door is to your right. Please see yourself out,” Pearl stated firmly, returning to her work.

"Never mind. I'll let you off this time, but | have a secret. It's about your family," Winona declared.

Pearl's thoughts immediately turned to Beah upon hearing the word family.’

"What do you know?" Pearl asked, her curiosity piqued, though she remained wary of Winona's intentions.

"I told you it's about your family, possibly related to your mom," Winona replied, still wearing an arrogant expression. "Aren't you curious?"

Pearl lowered her gaze. "How can | be sure you're telling the truth?" she questioned, her guard up.

"Well, if I'm lying, I'll never get Richard's love. How about that?"

While Pearl didn't put much stock in bets, she knew Winona cared deeply for Richard and wouldn't risk his affection lightly. It seemed plausible.

But she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, especially coming from Winona, her rival.

"Why are you tellingthis?"

Winona couldn't help but chuckle at Pearl's suspicion. "You certainly cover your bases, Miss Pearl. | do have a condition,” she revealed.

"What is it?" Pearl asked cautiously.

"Promise you'll leave Richard alone after | tell you this," Winona demanded.
