She had always been independent and capable of taking care of herself.

Yet, no matter how occupied Waylen was, he had been calling her seven or eight times a day lately. It might sound trivial, but Rena didn’t find it stressful.

Instead, she savored the sweetness it brought to her life.

Even though Aline had used her connections to search for her child, she hadn’t made any progress.

Her mind was in turmoil.

That night, she visited Albert’s apartment.

As he opened the door, his hair was still wet, and he was clad in a bathrobe, indicating he had just showered.

The lingering scent of a woman’s perfume filled the room.

As expected, a tall woman emerged from the bedroom, wrapped in a bath towel, and hugged Albert from behind, her beautiful eyes filled with hostility.

“Albert, who’s this old woman?”

A shadow crossed Aline’s face, her expression turning somber.

She was in her early 30s, but how dare this woman address her as an old woman?

Without reprimanding her, Albert patted the woman’s bottom and said,

“Go back home. I’ll see you next time.”

The woman smiled and returned to the bedroom to get dressed.

After a while, she emerged, carrying a bag. She gave Albert a kiss and left.

Despite her experience, Aline couldn’t tolerate Albert’s Lifestyle.

She entered the apartment and questioned, “Albert, why do you have to spend time with women every day?”

Albert didn’t pay much attention to her.

He walked to the sofa, sat down with his legs spread, lit a cigarette, and glanced at her.

“It’s none of your business. Miss

Hanson, why do you love me? I’m just a playboy. I have no intention of inheriting any family business. Just give up! The exit is on your left.”

Aline’s eyes blazed with fury.

She had gone to great lengths to please Rena and had humbled herself before Vera.

“Let’s get married! I’ll give you the freedom you desire.”

Albert pushed her away.

He adjusted his bathrobe and restrained his desires.

“What if the marriage I desire involves loyalty?”

In his mind, the ideal couple was Like Waylen and Rena.

It was love that seemed to last for eternity.

Despite endless temptations, they never wavered. They held themselves and their spouses to high standards, continually striving to improve.

Aline was unaware of his thoughts.

She believed that Albert desired freedom within marriage.

Consequently, she merely listened and didn’t take his words seriously.

She brought up another matter.

Albert glanced at her.

He said, “There are many people participating in this game. And many of them bet their money on Zack. The club is going to let me rank first.”

In essence, she could make money by betting on Albert.

Aline remained hesitant.

“Is this news reliable?”

Albert exhaled smoke slowly, offering a wry smile.

“If you’re worried about Losing money, then don’t participate.”

Aline felt embarrassed.

Albert kicked her and said, “It’s time for you to leave. I don’t want any woman to stay overnight here.”

Aline thought he was heartless, but she also understood that with their current relationship, she wasn’t qualified to stay overnight.

Anyway, it didn’t matter. Once she pleased Albert’s father, she wouldn’t have trouble marrying into their family.

Without trying to retort, Aline finally left.

Albert took a shower to rid himself of the scent of women.

After feeling fresh, he stood by the French window and sipped on a drink.

Over the years, he had indulged in such a hedonistic lifestyle, and manipulating women’s emotions had become second nature to him.

Although Aline was good at hooking up with men, she couldn’t compete with him in this aspect.

In matters of physical and emotional relationships, the one who took impulsive feelings seriously usually lost.

The following night, at the Smith family’s mansion.

Aline had been waiting in the car for half an hour when Rena finally arrived.

The black limousine pulled up.

Rena’s bodyguard opened the car door for her, and Rena stepped out gracefully.

She wore an understated black feathered couture dress with emerald jewelry, looking incredibly regal.

Her posture accentuated her curvaceous figure, so elegant that her pregnancy was barely noticeable.

As Aline watched Rena approach, she couldn’t help but compare herself with Rena. Aline felt her gift for Rena seemed meager in comparison to Rena’s emerald jewelry, but she still complimented.

“Rena, you look stunning tonight in that outfit.”

Rena glanced at her.

She knew what was going through Aline’s mind. She simply smiled in response. Then she entered the mansion, with Wendy accompanying her.

Rena had a close relationship with the Smith family, so there was no need for her to present an invitation.
