Her exporation shihed, a trace of bitterness showing through. She said, “Shawn and I udied at the same high school for ja whale. He was grainger laut skipped a year because he was brilliant. I tried to follow his poeth, bear I graduated two years behind Iam When I was veras, Luddenly found out he was engaged. It barnke me?
As she talked, her veder wavered. It wasn’t clear if die was act, angry, or something else entirely. She took a sip of her lemon water and went on, ‘All of our classmates and friends came back for your wedding, but I didn’t return to the country

Maybe it was your looks–maybe that blinded him, made him act without thinking. But beauty doesn’t mean love. I don’t know how your convinced him in the the knot, laut after all these seven years, it’s obvious that things have changed. You must sense it too”
I gave a small med she wasn’t wrong
She said, her voice suddenly softer, “Mrs. Hartwell, I’m not like you. When Shawn and I crossed paths again and started working together, it wasn’t just professional synergy, it was two mature souls meeting eye to eye. We work well together, and beyond that, there’s something deeper. I won’t beat around the bush. I’ve loved him for a leang time. I’m hoping you’ll let him

Shawn needs somente strong by his side in business. I’ve proven myself at the company. everyone knows it. But your You only know house chores and kitchen duties?
Queens gave a mocking smile “So now you’ve finally realized you want to start your career, how brave of you. But don’t you
lile late for that? Apex Hotel already has a solid name. And now you’ve torn both properties apart and turned them into something recognizable. Honestly, I doubt you’ll be able to handle them. That 300 million investment Might as well row it in the trash Fortunately, Shawn is kind enough to let you play with that kind of money. You should be grateful your married a man who was already more than good enough for you”
I took a slow drink from my cup, then leaned back lazily. “Is that all? You’ve been talking for a while. How about cutting to the
Her expression stiffened, awkward, and sour all at once.
I chuckled lightly “Let me guess. You’re here to declare that you and Shawn admire each other, that there’s mutual affection, meeting of minds and hearts. But let’s be real. You’re both stepping over the line. You trample on morality and disregardl the law of marriage. Ge’s a cheating man, the other a homewrecker. And now, waving the banner of ‘true love, you come to me asking for approval? Don’t you think that’s laughable?”
“Ditany, slow some respect when you speak!” Queena’s cheeks flared crimson, her composed mask finally slipping.
Iulted my heart, calm is ever. “What’s the matter? Do you think I’m being ruder Funny. You’re the one crossing all the lines. It’s not just low. It’s rotten from the inside out Her anger didn’t move me one bit. I added, “Forget everything else for a moment. You’re the third party, and you think you’re in the right? So what if you understand Shawn? Until he divorce me legally, we’re still husband and wife. If you care about him that much, why not ask him to file for divorce already! Why waste the comming to me, pretending like you two are some ideal couple?”
Queen was burning with rage.
Her face tuned red, and I gave her a cool look. “People say you’re smart and well–educated, but honestly, you seem more like

“Tiffany, haven’t you gone far enough?” Queena clutched her cup tightly. I could see it in her eyes. If I said one more word. that drink was coming straight at me.
I took a graceful sip of my coffee and spoke in a gentle voice, “My marriage might go through seasons, sometimes bright, sometimes dull but it should never become foul or decayed. You forced your way in, leaving no space for me. You’ve already stained what’s mine. You don’t get to stand here and point fingers.”
Queena’s voice sharpened as she leaned forward. “Tiffany, you’re a woman without any real income. What exactly are you trying to prove? Let’s not beat around the bush. The truth is, you’ve been coddled too much, by your family, by Shawn. You don’t get how complicated things are out in the real world. Open your eyes. Which rich man doesn’t have a history like this?
“They might wear a ring for one, but they always have countless lovers. If that upsets you, maybe the problem is that you’re still too naïve.” Her tone turned cutting, and when she noticed my expression harden, she pressed on with even more bite. I never cared about titles. I don’t need to be his wife. What matters is that I live inside his thoughts and heart. Let’s be honest, your comfortable life? You owe that to Shawn’s effort. I help him grow that wealth, so in a way, the money you’re spending now is partly earned by me. If you could just stop clinging to your pride and open your mind a little, you’d
