Valarie had failed.
Her expression darkened. "Useless fool!" Just then, Lila entered, carrying a plate of fruit. "Mom, what happened? Don't get upset. I cut this fruit just for you-have some." The moment Nathalie saw Lila, her anger vanished, replaced with a gentle smile. She took a bite of the fruit Lila offered.

Lila nestled into her mother's arms. "Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault for being away all these years, stuck abroad. I wasn't here for you, and certain people took advantage of that." Nathalie gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Silly girl, don't say that. Your health is what matters most. Now that you've recovered, you can stay by my side from now on." Lila looked un and asked "But what if I get married?" = Search...
Lila's face flushed with embarrassment. "Mom, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you forever." Nathalie, charmed by her words, was delighted.
But then a hint of sadness crossed Lila's face. "The thing is, I don't think my sister-in-law likes me. She'll probably wantmarried off as soon as possible." At this, Nathalie's expression hardened. She huffed, "Who does she think she is? She has no say in this family! Lila, don't worry. I won't let that woman becthe mistress of the Fletcher family." Lila's expression dimmed. "But it seems like my brother really likes her." Nathalie waved it off. "It's just because of her looks. There are plenty of women more beautiful than her. Your brother won't stay interested for long." Lila looked up at her mother with concern. "Mom, please don't fight with my brother over this. It would break my heart." Nathalie quickly embraced Lila. "Of course not, sweetheart. Your brother is my son, after all. He'll cback to me, just like you have." But behind her gentle expression, a cold glint flashed in Nathalie's eyes.
How dare that Selena make her precious daughter feel so cornered and helpless? Who did she think she was? Nathalie vowed to teach that insolent woman a lesson, one that would strip away all her confidence and power.
"Achoo!" Selena sneezed several times in a row at her workstation.
"Ugh, what's going on? Am I catching a cold?" she muttered before going back to her proposal.
