In Duefron's upper-class circles, not all noblewomen held the same status.

The most esteemed were those with the highest standing. Aline hadn't anticipated that Rena was part of the inner circle among these noblewomen.

Unwilling to be outdone by Rena, Aline had no choice but to make amends.

She clenched her teeth and said, “Okay, Rena, I'll show you my sincerity."

Rena smiled and hung up the phone.

Waylen guessed what they talked about and held Rena's hand gently to comfort her.

Rena shook her head slightly and said, “I'm fine. We have to resolve things between us."

Aline's sincerity came quickly.

The next morning, she came to Rena's house with a gift, a sapphire necklace worth ten million.

With bodyguards all around her, Rena met her in the fancy garden house.

Rena, in a wool dress with dark floral patterns, was sitting comfortably on a soft couch. She glanced at the expensive necklace and then put it on the table casually.

“It's pretty," Rena said, not too excited.

Aline clenched her teeth, telling herself she needed to get used to

Rena's haughty attitude. After she married into the Waston family, she wouldn't have to put up with Rena anymore.

Aline swallowed her anger and said, “I remember you have a dress that would go great with that necklace."

Rena smiled and took a sip of her tea before getting straight to the point.

"So, what do you want from me?"

Aline also skipped the small talk.

"I want to marry into the Waston family!

Rena's eyes rested on Aline thoughtfully.

Aline continued, “Albert may be a playboy, but he's close friends with

Zack. Rena, we were college classmates in the past, so you have to help me with this.”
