Rena voiced out her agreement.

Vera fell silent for a moment and said with some bitterness, “Alright, I’ll cooperate. Think about what she’s done to us. We can’t let her off easily.”

Rena hung up the phone. Cecilia, curious, asked, “Are you going to meet Aline? Waylen won’t agree.”

Rena helped her fold a dress and said with a smile, “You’re getting married. Why worry so much? Relax. I’ll tell him.”

“Don’t lie to me!” Cecilia responded with innocence.

“Promise me you’ll tell Waylen.”

Rena smiled.

“There will be an Fl race in a few days. I’ll take you there.” Then she called Waylen in front of Cecilia.

Waylen agreed on the phone and said, “Let Cecilia go with you.”

So, Cecilia clung to Rena and followed her to the cafe.

Aline and Vera arrived first.

They disliked each other, and spite was apparent on their faces, especially Vera,

Vera was in a better mood when she saw Rena and Cecilia. Aline’s target was Rena.

She pulled out a chair for Rena and said in a soft tone, “You’re pregnant. Do you feel uncomfortable

“I’m okay,” Rena replied with a faint smile,

Vera admired Rena’s composure.

Aline was their sworn enemy, so how could Rena smile at her?

At this time, Aline noticed Cecilia and asked, “Rena, you still don’t trust me, so you brought Cecilia here specially. Are you afraid I’ll hurt you?”

Cecilia was about to speak, but Rena stopped her and smiled calmly.

“Waylen asked Cecilia to accompany me, Have you ever thought of hurting me

Aline didn’t know what to say. She tried to please Rena but Rena seemed insusceptible. But it was normal, given her identity as an affluent lady.

Aline called the waiter, feeling embarrassed. She asked Rena, “What coffee would you like? The usual Mandheling?”

Rena remained silent, so Cecilia said, “Just bring her some water. She’s pregnant.”

The waiter politely agreed and left.

A fake smile plastered on her face, Aline explained, “Sorry, I Rena, you must be five months pregnant, right?”

Rena silently acknowledged her comment.

Then, Aline continued as she softly murmured, “I was once pregnant too. I used to be a mother.”

Her comment struck a nerve with Vera. She couldn’t contain her frustration so she straightened up, and let out a curse.

“How dare you mention that baby? Aline, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like that with Joseph!”

Looking at her, Aline asked, “Aren’t you happy now? Isn’t that enough?”

“These are two different things, okay

Vera’s chest heaved violently as she gritted her teeth.

“You lied to Joseph and gave birth to a baby without a father! Your apologies are useless! Oh, and what about the baby? Did you throw it away or strangle it to death

ALL the color instantly drained out of Aline’s face. Rena gently grabbed Vera’s hand and squeezed it.

“Don’t be so furious.”

However, Vera was so angry that she ended up gently shaking off her friend’s hand.

In the cozy cafe, Aline was overwhelmed with embarrassment. She muttered, her voice quivering, “Vera, that’s all in the past. I have come to a realization that I have done a lot of awful things to hurt you all. Is this the reason why you won’t give me a second chance? Can’t you forgive me?”

Vera stomped her foot stubbornly and yelled, “I won’t forgive you for as long as I live!”

Her raging temper had taken over her rational thinking. In the end, Vera wasn’t able to remain civil with the woman in front of her.

Soon, Vera, Rena and Cecilia left.

As the coffee was served, Aline was left sitting there as she watched her coffee grow cold.

Vera got into the car first.

After Cecilia helped Rena into the car, Vera said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Rena, I messed up your plan. I can’t stand the sight of her. Just looking at her makes me sick, let alone cooperating with her.”

She apologized repeatedly, holding Rena’s hand and pretending to be innocent.

Rena and Vera had been friends for so many years that Rena understood

Vera well.

A faint smile graced her lips.

“Don’t apologize now. You made a great contribution today.”

“What?”

Vera blinked a few times, looking unsure if she heard her friend correctly.

“I made a great contribution

Rena softly grazed the skin on her chest with her fingers, where a thin light scar from the crystal chandelier remained, Sometimes she felt a burning pain that reminded her of what Aline had done to her.

Rena said in a low voice, “It’s unrealistic for us to become friends with her immediately.”

Vera didn’t fully understand but trusted Rena.

Since her friend said she had made a great contribution, Vera felt quite proud.

Rena treated her to a big meal, and Vera had two glasses of wine, leaving her feeling drunk.
