Vera, eight months pregnant, was on the verge of giving birth. Whether she ventured outside or returned home, she was constantly accompanied by servants. Roscoe doted on her like never before, and their relationship with Roscoe's parents had somewhat improved.

Rena carefully Ladled a bowl of nutritious soup for her.

Vera playfully pinched her cheek and remarked, “Look at how plump I've become! Rena, I beg you! Since Roscoe isn't around, let's order some spicy dishes for delivery!"

Rena narrowed her eyes at Vera and chided, “Ordering takeout here? Ina restaurant? Are you being silly?"

Upon hearing this, Vera reluctantly pinched her nose and obediently sipped her tonic soup.

After finishing the soup, she stuck out her tongue mischievously and began to gossip.

"You know what? Cecilia finally ended her relationship with Harold! Harold then dealt with his lover and caused her so much pain. Even now, no one is willing to hire her as a waitress, let alone consider her for a future in the entertainment industry!"

Rena wasn't surprised. She smiled and replied, "Harold has always been cruel!"

However, Rena felt genuinely happy for Cecilia, who was an innocent soul deserving of a better man.

Partly due to thoughts of Harold, Rena experienced discomfort in her stomach.

She informed Vera, "Stay here. I need to use the bathroom!"

Vera playfully teased, “Why? Do you want to vomit? Could you also be pregnant?"

Although Waylen and Rena were sexually active, they always used contraceptives. Rena had no worries about such matters, so she answered, "It's impossible!"

Vera then didn't take it seriously.

As Rena entered the bathroom, her discomfort persisted and she began to retch.

In that moment, an old acquaintance appeared, someone who had been absent for quite some time: Aline.

Aline appeared shockingly gaunt, yet draped in opulent attire.

Locking eyes with Rena through the mirror, Aline sneered, “What a coincidence!"

Observing her figure in the reflection, Rena slowly straightened up and wiped her hands clean.

“Indeed, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner?"

Aline felt a twinge of embarrassment.

Since the Curtis family had discovered the truth, Joseph had abandoned her, casting her out alongside the child she claimed to be his.
