This matter was something of an open secret in their social circle. Recently, Luke had hinted during the interview that he liked someone. Mrs. Walker had initially wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to announce Luke's "engagement," but she feared he might refuse to play along, embarrassing her and making her family the laughingstock of their social circle."If Mrs. Walker already has someone in mind, why is she trying to matchmake with the Smith family?"What game was Mrs. Walker playing?I couldn't figure it out for the life of me."She didn't specify whether she meant me or Jenny," Wendy scoffed. "Yesterday, when those two heard Mrs. Walker was visiting the Smiths, they got all dolled up. Mrs. Walker kept complimenting them and even gave Jenny an expensive antique bracelet before she left.""..." Mrs. Walker loved to win people over, always seeming to have a gift at the ready. Suddenly, it dawned on me. "Is she trying to drive a wedge between you, Sarah, and her daught

Joey was Jon's older sister. Despite Penelope's grievances against Joey, she wouldn't do anything to interfere with Stephen's plans. Stephen had decided to keep Joey in the dark and proceed with getting Jon tested for a match. Penelope cooperated with him and helped calm Jon down. The results from the match test would take about four days.Ever since Joey was hospitalized, her temper had grown more volatile.While I was chatting with Jen, I received a message from Wendy, asking why I wanted to resign.I couldn't tell Wendy the real reason.I tapped a few times on my phone, suddenly feeling the urge to relax and enjoy life a little.Wendy: "That's a great idea! Take it easy!"The same Wendy who had been trying to convince me otherwise on the phone earlier had now completely changed her tune. Her support instantly made me feel much more relieved.Wendy: "As long as you're not leaving for another job, you can relax. I'll take care of you! I just have one small request. Could you wa

"What casting couch? Can't you think of anything wholesome?" Jenny thrust her hand in front of Wendy's face. "I found out this bracelet belonged to European royalty from the 14th century. It's incredibly valuable!""Fine jewels suit fine ladies. You're just a plain Jane trying to boost your appeal with fancy accessories.""... I'm pretty!""Not compared to me." Wendy looked up, her eyes scanning Jenny's face. "Your eyes are big but vacant. Your nose is too high and sharp, sticking out like a mountain on your face. It looks so out of place, as if it might break free from your big round face and set up shop on its own. And those thick lips...""Wendy, shut up! Stop talking!""My mouth is on my face. I'll say what I want. You can't control that." Wendy smiled at Jenny. "And that neck of yours..."When Wendy mentioned her neck, Jenny quickly covered it with her hand."Alright, I won't talk about your neck."Jenny lowered her hand, relieved.Wendy continued, "Most people have swan

"Let's meet at the orphanage."Eager to uncover the truth, I met Penelope at the orphanage entrance half an hour later.Penelope wore a short brown jacket over a black top, paired with slim-fit jeans that showcased her long, slender legs. Her smile was warm and friendly when she saw me, exuding much more confidence than when we first met.As I got out of the car, she took my hand. "Jen, you're so busy with work. You didn't need to come personally for this small matter. I could have handled it."As she spoke, Penelope glanced at my wrist, checking my injury."My wound has healed a lot," I said, touched by her genuine concern. I gently smoothed her wind-tousled hair. "Work was light today. If I went home, I'd just be obsessing over Joey and Jon's relationship. I might as well join you to uncover the truth. It's cold; let's go inside and talk."As we walked, I explained, "On my way here, I contacted the orphanage staff. They've informed the director about our visit."Penelope knew

After hearing from Annette that Jon was generally healthy, rarely got sick, and had never had surgery except for his recent hospital stay due to an emotional breakdown, we were at a loss to explain the discrepancy.After some thought, I asked, "Director, could we make a copy of Jon's medical records?"The director looked hesitant.I assured her, "Don't worry, we won't disclose that Joey and Jon have rare blood types.""They left our care. Joey is a very responsible sister, and we're glad she could take on the responsibility of caring for her brother. It's a shame she's gone down the wrong path now. We hope she can turn her life around," the director said regretfully, aware of Joey's widely publicized situation.Penelope added, "We hope she can change for the better too."Though it seems unlikely at this point."The copier is over there," the director said, gesturing to a corner of the office, indicating that she was agreeing to let us copy the records.After we finished copying
