Sabrina sat beside Bettie on the sofa and wrapped her arms around her friend, offering a warm and comforting embrace. "I'm here for you. You don't have to go through this alone."

Bettie remained silent.

Sabrina gazed up at the ceiling, Lost in thought. “When I was young, my parents got divorced. My mother Left and never came back. I can barely remember what she Looked like and only have a few hazy memories of her.

But I heard rumors that she had an affair, and my father couldn't forgive her for it and divorced her.

I was also sad, confused, and angry. At that time, I thought that if I had the chance to see her again, I would ask her why she did it, but I never did see her again. I wonder if she even remembers or thinks of me at all."

Bettie lifted her head from her shoulder. "You seem to have faced greater tribulations than I have."

Comparing her life to Sabrina's tragic tale, she realized her situation was comparatively more fortunate.

At least her father provided her with a good life, and she enjoyed the treatment as the only child in her family for over 20 years.

“So, there is nothing we can't endure. Things happen, and we need to move forward. We have to think carefully about what we do next."

“Do next?" Bettie sneered. "I know what his plan is. He wants me to get married and move out of his house. The mistress's son will inherit the remainder of the family business. No chance of that! He can have his illegitimate son, but I won't give up a penny of my family's property!"

"Then what are you going to do next?"

“Well... I don't know," Bettie said dully.

The question snapped her back to reality.

Once carefree and focused only on her hobbies, Bettie never had to worry about her future. Her father never pressured her to work at the family company, so she remained ignorant of its inner workings

However, now she was afraid that her lack of knowledge would make her father hesitant to entrust the company to her.

“Hmm... I suggest you don't resist for now. It might be better to hide your strength and wait for the right moment,“ Sabrina advised.

Bettie nodded. “You're right!"

She took a sip of water and put her hand on Sabrina's knee. “Enough about me. I saw Trevor's post. Did you two break up? What happened?”

“Hmm. It's a Long story."

“Then give me the short version."
