She was excited for the opportunity to become the young lady of the house of Seet.

Unfortunately, she was not optimistic that she would be able to convince Evan to marry her.

When Lisa saw how dispirited the woman had appeared, she gave Sofie a tongue lashing for her fecklessness.

“Sofie, if you want to capture a man’s heart, you need to employ a bit of trickery.”

Trickery was something that I had attempted before. Unfortunately, it was to no avail.

“Aunt Lisa, how did you managed to get married to Uncle Adam? Would you be willing to teach me?” Sofie implored with sincerity.

Before Lisa could answer her, however, Sofie’s mother interjected.

“Sofie, you have just asked the right person. Your Uncle Adam’s ex-wife had borne him a son. Nevertheless, such a factor couldn’t perturb your aunt from usurping her. Your aunt is truly a master at the pinnacle of this art form, she is…”

Lisa cleared her throat and rolled her eyes at Sofie’s mother.

What usurp? You make me sound so despicable!

“Enough talk of the past! They are irrelevant to the matter at hand. What we should be focused on is solving Sophie’s problem!”

It may be true that Lisa had clambered her way up as a mistress, but the effort that she had to put in on all fronts and the hardship that she had to endure on this path was known only to herself.

Having those unbearable and unglamorous days of yore forced back into her consciousness, Lisa was soon put in a foul mood.
