Elvira sneered bitterly.

“Rena, how much more do you wish to take from me?"

In the early hours of the morning, Rena received joyous tidings.

She had been recognized as one of the top ten exceptional young individuals in Duefron this year.

The teachers from her music studio all congratulated her with great enthusiasm and, even Paisley, who currently resided in Rouemn, called to offer her congratulations.

"Rena, this is truly cause for celebration. I am tempted to open a bottle of champagne in your honor."

Wearing a faint smile, Rena replied, “I can join you in Rouemn to toast with the champagne.”

Paisley initially intended to politely decline Rena's offer, as she did not wish for Rena to exert herself excessively.

However, the yearning for Rena's company grew strong within her, compelling her to say, “Alright, I will await your arrival in Rouemn."

Rena exuded a pleasant disposition. She distributed extra bonus to all the staff members in the music studio, eliciting great joy.

In the midst of this cheerful moment, Rena's secretary approached and relayed, "Miss Gordon, a Miss Coleman wishes to see you."

Miss Coleman...

Rena's smile faded.

Addressing her secretary, she instructed, "Make sure the surveillance camera in the reception room is on, and then kindly ask Miss Coleman to wait there for me."

The secretary surmised that there must be some underlying matter between the two individuals, prompting her to promptly carry out the task.

Coincidentally, Vera happened to be present as well. She inquired of Rena, "Are you really going to meet her?"

Rena smiled.

She replied, “Does she appear as though she'll give me any respite? If I don't present her with a substantial offering, I fear I'll be entangled with her in the future... I'm not like Lyndon. I won't indulge her."

Vera remained concerned for Rena's well-being.

Being privy to all the details through Tyrone, Vera felt a surge of anger and desired to confront Waylen.

However, Rena forbade it, stating that there was no need to seek out Waylen.

Worried for Rena's sake, Vera accompanied her to meet Elvira.
