As soon as Vera stepped into the reception room, fury overcame her

She could hardly believe her eyes when she beheld Elvira emerging in her hospital gown early in the morning.

Rena indeed possessed a gentle temperament. Had Vera been in Rena's shoes, she would have forcibly ejected Elvira

Seated across from Elvira, Rena maintained a smile and inquired, "Miss Coleman, how may I be of assistance to you?"

Elvira gazed fixedly at Rena, her eyes transfixed on her.

Rena adorned herself in a resplendent emerald gown, radiating undeniable beauty.

A storm of fury surged within Elvira, driving her to the brink of madness.

How could Rena look so stunning? Waylen had abandoned her, leaving her shattered. Yet, remarkably, she appeared to carry on with serene composure, even securing a place among Duefron's top ten exemplary youths this year.

Elvira vowed to never allow Rena a moment of joy.

In a hushed tone, Elvira uttered, "Word has reached me of your impending accolade. Today, I have graced this occasion to present you with a special gift."

Rena's secretary gracefully served them tea, adding an air of sophistication to the encounter.

Rena took a delicate sip of tea, her demeanor tranquil, as she remarked, "Miss Coleman, your thoughtfulness is truly remarkable.

However, we cannot truly claim the bond of friendship, can we?"

With utmost gentleness, Elvira retrieved a razor blade from her pocket.

Her countenance bearing a touch of derangement, Elvira proclaimed, “I shall offer you a token of my exuberance through a small act of bleeding."

Vera rolled her eyes dismissively, unable to resist the urge to jest,

“If you yearn for death, it would be better to do so in solitude.

Besides, Waylen is absent, and there is no rare Rh-negative blood to save you. Don't engage in such a futile venture."

Rena calmly regarded Elvira, her gaze unwavering.

Caught in a trance-like state, Elvira burst into laughter and said,

“Waylen no Longer wishes to see me. Hence, I have resorted to seeking solace with you, Miss Gordon. Should I slice my wrist and call the authorities, accusing you of deliberate harm, what would Waylen think of you?"

“I care not for his perception of me. Your life belongs solely to you.
