The woman in the photo uncannily resembled someone she knew.

She looked exactly like Elvira when she was 22.

At that age, Elvira was pure and wouldn’t do anything bad.

Jazlyn explained, “This woman’s name is Mavis Lynch. She is 22 years old and a college student. Mr. Fowler’s law firm has been funding for a group of students for the past few years, and she’s one of them. Last month, Mr. Fowler offered her an internship in his office.”

Last month.

That was when Rena gave birth to Marcus.

Rena clenched her fists.

Jazlyn said affirmatively, “I am certain, though, that Mr. Fowler isn’t having an illicit relationship with her. But I don’t think this girl is simple. Her eyes are full of ambition.” ©

Rena lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. “She must know who she looks like.”

After saying that, Rena stood up and nodded at Jazlyn. “Let me know if Waylen gives you a hard time because of this matter.”

Without waiting for Jazlyn’s response, Rena left the cafe.

When Rena entered the establishment, she felt as powerful as fire.

But now she felt as if hell had frozen over inside her veins.

It turned out that the happiness she had been feeling lately was just that, a feeling, which was fleeting and elusive.

Rena returned to the villa.

One of the servants said courteously, “Good evening, Mrs. Fowler. Mr. Fowler called and said that he would be home late tonight. We have prepared your dinner as per Mr. Fowler’s instructions.”

Rena nodded. “All right. Thank you.”

She slowly ascended the stairs, but she suddenly stopped midway and said, “Please come upstairs and help me pack up some things. I want to gather and box up Mr. Fowler’s gifts to me and leave them at the door.”

The servant dared not ask any questions.

At 9:00 in the evening, Waylen came home and saw the boxes of stuff at the door.

“Where did these come from?”

The servant bit the bullet and answered, “Mrs. Fowler asked me to pack up your gifts to her, Mr. Fowler, and leave them at the door.”

Waylen frowned and went upstairs.

In the main bedroom, Rena was sitting in front of the dressing table and putting on makeup. ©

She usually put on light makeup, but now she wore a very enchanting night look. She’d also changed into a tight black dress with tens of millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry around her neck.

Waylen came in and looked around. “Where are Alexis and Marcus?”

Rena looked at him through the mirror.

After a long time, she opened her red lips slightly and drawled, “With your parents. I asked them to take care of the kids for the time being, and they were more than happy to oblige.”

Waylen walked up to Rena.

She stood up, put her hand on his shoulder, and said seductively, “I want to have more time to take care of you. Would you like that, honey?” ©

Rena carefully tucked a photo inside Waylen’s top pocket.

After that, Rena helped him straighten his clothes with her slender fingers, giving his outfit a final pat

He then looked at her and took out the photo.

The woman in the photo was the new intern of the law office, Mavis.

Seating himself at the edge of the bed, he loosened his tie slightly, seemingly unimpressed.

“Is all this fuss really necessary for an intern?”

“Just an intern?”

Rena’s voice dropped, and she walked slowly towards him. Bending down, she whispered, “Waylen, you’ve crossed a line. Don’t think I have no boundaries.”

Waylen smiled and reached out to touch her delicate face.

Rena felt uneasy with his closeness and tried to dodge, but he swiftly held her waist and caressed her playfully.

“Is that so?

And what about you, Rena? Do you really love me?

When we made love, you held me and called me Waylen. But were you really calling me, or just the man from your memory?” He teased, “You know, Rena, I might just be a substitute.

Perhaps, you’re no better than me.”

Her heart aching, Rena couldn’t find the right words to respond.

Her eyes narrowed, and she sneered at Waylen. “You’ve said so much, but it’s just because you don’t want to fire her, right? Tell me, are you keeping the intern or holding onto the regret of your youth?

Waylen, you enjoy the benefits of marriage with me, yet you keep her by your side… Who do you find more disgusting?”

Rena picked up the photo of the intern.

In a fit of anger, she tore it into pieces right in front of Waylen.

He leaned back, his eyes gleaming, as if he had never encountered Rena’s fury before.

After a long silence, he chuckled softly. “Looks like I’ve married a tigress.”

With those words, he reached out and pulled Rena towards him, causing her to fall onto his lap.

Their bodies pressed against each other, and a romantic atmosphere filled the room.

Rena averted her gaze, her tone icy. “It hasn’t even been 42 days since I gave birth. Are you some kind of animal?”

Waylen indeed wanted to have sex with her.

His desire however, was dampened by her words, and he didn’t feel the need to hide his feelings.
