Jackie felt downcast after she realized that Marian had intentionally bought a counterfeit item, despite her clear and firm instructions not to. Her heart pounded with a mixture of disbelief and betrayal. She clenched her fists at her sides, the room suddenly too quiet, too heavy with unspoken tension.

She turned slowly to Marian, locking eyes with her. Fury burned in Jackie’s gaze like a wildfire barely contained. “You knew,” she said, her voice low and trembling. “You knew it was fake, and you still went through with it.”

Marian shifted uncomfortably, her eyes darting to the floor. “I—I thought I could get away with it. You were never supposed to find out.”

Jackie took a step forward, the sound of her heels echoing sharply in the room. “That’s your defense? You thought you could deceive me?” Her voice was cold now, each word a dagger.

“I didn’t think it mattered,” Marian replied, her tone defensive. “It was just a clock. It looked real enough. And you were so fixated on appearances—

    Jackie and Marian returned home in embarrassment.Their shoes barely made a sound on the marble floors of the Torres estate, but the silence between them was deafening. The evening had been a disaster. Not only had they failed to secure the engagement between Marian and Brady Cruz—a match they had been carefully orchestrating for months—but they had also managed to further fracture the already fragile relationship between the Torres and Cruz families.As soon as they stepped into the grand living room, they were greeted by Liza Torres, Blake’s formidable grandmother. Seated like a queen on her high-backed chair, Liza’s posture was rigid, her hands clasped tightly around the knob of her carved cane. Her silver hair was pulled back into a severe bun, and despite her age, her sharp eyes missed nothing."You two are fit for nothing," Liza barked, her voice cold and cutting. "It was a simple matter. You couldn’t even handle that!"

    Now that Florence heard Eva's side of the story, her expression changed. She looked at Marian and Jackie with a hint of disappointment."What do you have to say about this? Is what she said true?"Jackie's heart skipped a beat. She denied it in a hurry. "Of course not!"Marian's forehead broke out in cold sweat.She utterly guiltily, Mrs Cruz, that's not true. Don't believe her!"Jackie was unsettled that everything had come to light, so she tried to explain."It's just a misunderstanding! Mrs. Cruz, let me explain..."Eva was pissed, so she didn't want to give Jackie the chance to get away with this. She pointed at the antique clock on the table and asked, "Did you just say it was a misunderstanding? Was your fake gift also a misunderstanding?"Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The atmosphere in the room shifted once more—this time heavier, colder. The guests exchanged glances, sensing something larger at play.Jackie’s lips parted in disbelief. “Fake? What are you talking a

    A couple of days later, Eva followed up on her appointment with Brady.His family's villa was splendidly decorated and located in a suburb with stunning views. The driveway curved gracefully around a tiered fountain, its crystalline waters catching the sunlight like scattered diamonds. Tall hedges trimmed into precise shapes framed the front garden, which was in full bloom with roses, lavender, and peonies.Having already received the order from Brady, the butler came out and welcomed Eva."Miss Lowes, please follow me."The butler led Eva through the huge front garden and into the villa. Her heels clicked against the polished marble floors as they stepped inside. The air was cool and faintly perfumed with sandalwood. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in generous light, casting soft golden reflections onto glass sculptures and gilded frames hanging on the walls.Much to Eva's surprise, the Cruz family was already hosting visitors.From the grand salon drifted the sound of muted conversation

    Tally received a number of comments after posting it. Marian and Jackie both sent their best wishes and liked the post. Their supportive messages were a nice boost, and it seemed like others were also engaging with the content.Xian also joined them.His comment read, "Blake, you start ignoring your friends the moment you have a girlfriend. I’m in the same hospital as you, but you didn’t even bother to check on me. You just stayed by your girlfriend’s side."It was clear from his tone that he felt hurt and left out, as though Blake had prioritized his relationship over their friendship.Tally quickly responded with a blushing emoji and typed, "Don’t be mad, Xian. Blake is just worried about me."Her message was lighthearted, but it also hinted at her desire to ease the tension. She didn’t want to upset Xian, but at the same time, she wanted to make it clear that Blake’s actions came from a place of concern.Xian, lying in a different ward, got excited when he saw the reply. He quickl

    "Let me go now," Blake said, his voice strained.Blake frowned and attempted to pull away from Tally.The doctor looked at him, disappointment evident in his tone. "Sir, how can you be so indifferent? The patient fell down the stairs due to anemia, and now her right leg is broken and severely injured. She needs your support. As her boyfriend, you should be concerned about her health, her diet, and her daily well-being."Blake’s expression remained impassive as he said, "You misunderstood. I’m not her boyfriend. It’s not my responsibility to take care of her."The doctor, realizing his mistake, felt a flush of embarrassment and chose not to say anything further.Tally's eyes filled with tears, her gaze growing dim."Blake, are you still upset because of Eva? I'll go apologize to her, alright? Please, don’t stay angry."Seeing her fragile and vulnerable only fueled Blake’s irritation."Listen, get some rest. I’ll let your family know you’re here," Blake said, preparing to leave.Tally p
