Leaning against the bar, Rena took a few sips of water and smiled at Mavis.

"What brings you here?"

Mavis' red lips trembled slightly...

In a low voice, she said, "Mrs. Fowler, | know you don't like me, but you really don't have to be so ruthless. | was looking forward to the birthday party, but none of my colleagues are attending. | have a feeling it's because of you.”

Birthday party?

Colleagues not attending?

Rena guessed that Jazlyn had something to do with this. All Jazlyn needed to do was spread the word about Mavis' resemblance to Elvira, and no one would dare associate with her.

Rena thought Jazlyn was quite reliable.

She smiled lazily.

"Really? Why haven't | heard anything about it?

Rena glanced at Wendy, who then took the bottle from Rena’s hand. Then, Rena continued her stretching routine as if nothing was bothering her... As she practiced, Rena spoke up again gently.

"Miss Lynch, you are young and beautiful. Why entangle yourself with a married man? Yes, you do resemble Waylen's first love... Sometimes, when he looks at you, he might reminisce about the past. | don't mind, but he... He can only think about it."

Mavis felt her pride wounded.

She hadn't expected the woman in front of her to so easily uncover the truth.

How dare Rena?

Still sweating from her workout, Rena said indifferently, "You probably don't know that Elvira is a taboo in our family. If you were thinking off wanting to marry into the Fowler family just because you look like her, it would be an impossible wish."

Mavis looked at her in disbelief.

She considered herself young and beautiful, and she refused to believe she couldn't compare to the woman in front of her.

Besides, Waylen would be here soon...

With a razor blade in her hand, Mavis pressed it against her own beautiful face, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mrs. Fowler, you misunderstand me. I never intended to ruin your family. It's not my fault that | look like this. If... If you don't like how I look, I'l ruin it.". ©

Rena blinked and raised an eyebrow, looking unfazed.
