“You are going to regret this later,” Iva said. “Everything will be colorful now, but once those rainbows start leaving, you’ll see the true colors of that woman.”“With all due respect, Aunt,” Elena said in a soft tone. “If you want to know about my character, you can ask my dad. If you think he’ll give you a biased answer, you can ask my stepmother or her kids. And they will tell you more good than bad even though they don’t really like me.”Adrian liked how she was defending herself without getting angry. “There’s no need to ask your family members. I grew up with you, and I know you as well as they do.”Elena was touched by those words.“Hmph,” Iva snorted. “I’ve read many times in books, saying, love is blind. I found that cringe, but now it’s happening right before my eyes. I guess I didn’t know better.”Gareth glanced at his wife. “You should stop reading fiction books. They are just fiction. They don’t teach you anything worthwhile.”Iva smiled at him because she knew that he

“Talking about where we’re lacking…” Iva smirked, while looking at Elena, “your ex-boyfriend sure got guts. Why did you two break up?”A long silence filled the hall.“Whose fault was it?” Iva added. “Was it yours? Or was it your ex-boyfriend’s?”“Even if I give you the answer, would you believe my words fully, Aunt?” Elena asked back.“The human heart is darkness embodied,” Iva said. “Who can tell what properties darkness has? Even when you try to shed some light on it, it flees. No one can understand another human heart fully, no matter how much you probe into it. Still, give me your answer, and then I’ll decide whether to trust your words or not.”Gareth looked at his wife. “That sounded quite philosophical. Which book did you copy those words from?”“Huh? Those are my own words,” Iva snorted. “The books I read might have had some influence on me, but they were my own words.”“I see,” Gareth smiled.Iva felt that he didn’t believe her, but she had to bear with it as others were wat

The hall fell silent as if bowing to Elena’s words.The wet cracking sounds of Ryan’s teeth was all that spoke against the silence.He looked at Gareth and Iva. “If… my words offended you, then I am sorry.”“Your words offended me, too,” Adrian said, smiling.Ryan frowned some more. Clenching his fists, he said, “I don’t remember offending you.”“You talked ill of my fiancee and said some negative things,” Adrian said. “I could have all your teeth broken for that, but I’m in a good mood right now, so a simple apology will do.”Ryan, however, found it difficult to do so. To him, Adrian wasn’t just anyone but the man Elena chose, and he did not want to apologize to such a man.“You are licking your boss Victor’s boots every day, aren’t you, Ryan?” Elena said. “But Adrian is bigger than your boss. There’s no shame in bowing your head to him.”“I came here to link both the companies in a friendly alliance,” Ryan said, “but not to merge Bosch Group into Claimer Corp. I apologized to Sir Ga

Adrian had gone out to get the wedding cards printed.Elena wished that he took her along.Right now, she felt alone and bored, so she took a tour around the estate. It was massive and had many things to pass time with.But because she was alone right now, she still felt bored when walking past the tennis court or the swimming pool.She went to the western side, where there was a lone building.Two maids were taking goods inside.“Is this building for storage?” she asked.“Yes, ma’am,” one of the maids said. “Regular items are stored on the ground floor, but special items are on the upper floors.”“Special items?”“Yes. All rare items, including the family heirlooms.”“Oh, I want to see the family heirlooms,” Elena quickly said.“We need to get permission from Madam Iva.”“For just looking?” Elena raised her eyebrows.“If something goes missing, we’ll suffer Madam Iva’s wrath.”Seeing their fearful faces, Elena sighed. “Fine, go and get her permission quickly.”One of the maids quickl

All the people in the estate, including the members of the Claimer household were gathered at the storage building on the west.Gareth and Lilian weren’t told the reason, so they were eager to leave.But then Iva told Gareth, “Your mother’s tea cup was broken.”“What?” Gareth’s eyes widened. “You mean that… flower patterned one?”Iva nodded twice.“How did it happen?” Gareth raised his voice. “No, who broke it? Was it the maids?”“No, it was Elena,” Iva looked at her.“It wasn’t me, Uncle,” Elena quickly responded.Just then, Adrian came out of the building with the broken pieces all neatly arranged on a wooden plank.“Elena isn’t the one who broke the cup, Dad,” Adrian made a quick explanation. “It’s quite obvious that this cup was broken before, even though Mom doesn’t want to admit it.”Iva snorted but said nothing.“No9w the real question is…” Adrian looked at everyone there, except Elena. “Who actually broke this tea cup?”The maids and butlers lowered their heads.“If they come
