Just as she contemplated excusing herself to visit the restroom,

Joseph's phone suddenly rang, breaking the monotony of the moment.

It was Aline persistently calling, ceaseless until Joseph eventually answered the call.

In such a predicament, Vera refrained from losing her composure.

Rena was aware of Vera's persistent desire to reside with Joseph. A deep sigh escaped her lips, and she beckoned Vera to accompany her to the restroom.

Side by side, they stood, attending to the task of washing their hands.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Rena softly inquired, "Do they maintain constant communication with each other?"

Vera's eyes were filled with redness and turmoil.

From her bag, she extracted a cigarette, which she ignited with trembling hands.

Taking a Long, trembling drag, she fixed her gaze upon Rena.

“Joseph is utterly repulsive. He purchased an apartment and provided support to Aline. Upon inspecting the bills, I discovered that he lavishes two to three million on that wretched woman every month."

Rena found herself at a loss for words, uncertain of how to respond.

Vera nonchalantly wore a smile upon her face.

“Joseph and I have kind of reached an agreement! I refrain from engaging him in arguments about this matter and we actually coexist harmoniously. He shows more generosity towards me. Rena, you however, do not settle for a despicable man. You deserve to be with someone who loves you dearly."

Gently patting Vera's shoulder, Rena offered, "If you ever require assistance, just let me know."

“Alright ."

Vera smiled, her countenance brightening.

In that very moment, Joseph approached with an unnatural expression adorning his face, clutching his phone tightly.

Vera sneered, her voice dripping with disdain, "Joseph, today marks the anniversary of our wedding. Yet, you still wish to spend time with her?

Is she truly that significant? You have no idea how she flirted shamelessly with Harold before."

Joseph locked his gaze upon Vera.

Vera was undeniably beautiful but she carried an air of preciousness.
