Surely, even if Barbara felt she couldn't rival Maria, she believed she held a higher charm than Judy.

“It seems you're puzzled, Miss Herrera. Anthony's voice suggested he'd discerned her thoughts.

But his subsequent revelation only further muddled Barbara.

"Judy is my sister-in-law."

A mix of surprise and ire danced on Barbara's face, and her body quivered with a range of emotions.

Sister-in-law? Barbara's mind raced with skepticism.

Anthony employed his sister-in-law as his assistant? Humph!

Internally, Barbara grappled with her feelings.

Logic suggested she should rejoice if Anthony was unfaithful to Maria.

However, the overwhelming emotion she felt was vexation.

Throughout the remainder of their meeting, Barbara's focus wavered, making her feel as if she were lost in a dream.

Following the business meeting, Barbara suggested taking a tour in the Sky Group.

It wasn't an unreasonable request, so Anthony readily consented.

"So, Mr. Wilson..."

Barbara had assumed Anthony would personally guide her, which made her feel better.

“Jack, kindly lead the Jenkins family's representatives on the tour."

“Yes, sir."

Having delegated the task to Jack, Anthony signaled with a snap of his fingers and directed another assistant to wheel him out of the meeting room.

Witnessing this, Barbara was left in a state of bewilderment.

Regret consumed her. She shouldn't have come here in the first place...

“Miss Herrera, please follow me," Jack said.

At that moment, both Barbara and Vivian felt embarrassed.

Naturally, Barbara felt somewhat uncomfortable, thinking that Anthony didn't particularly like her.

As for Vivian, she recalled Mrs. Jenkins had asked her to sing a song for Jack upon her return to the Jenkins family. Now, her face flushed with embarrassment.
