Anna felt that she had no way to refuse. So, she had to friend Jennie. Only then did Jennie smile as happily as a child.

Anna couldn’t imagine how such a woman could do something like scamming the Wrights’ property and cheating on Wayne’s father.

Anna showed a puzzled expression but held back from asking her what had happened.

“Then, I’ll go first.” Anna put the noodles and side dishes on her plate and nodded politely toward Jennie.

She had just walked upstairs and placed the plate on the table when Wayne came out of the bathroom. He was wrapped in a bathrobe, his wet hair was dripping down his neck, and there was
