It was a late night at Seaview Manor.
After Betty showered, she applied medication to the plastic surgery marks on her face. She was ready

“Nina? Nina!” Betty called her maid.
Nina quickly ran over to her. “I’m here, Ms. Betty.”
Since Alyssa made Nina a spy, she took a lot of time figuring out ways to get close to Sophia and Betty.
She tried to gain their trust.
She knew Sophia was often suspicious and didn’t trust anyone easily. However, Betty was less
manipulative than her mother. It was easier for Nina to get close to Betty.
So, Nina fawned over Betty and was willing to do anything for her. Finally, she had the opportunity to
stay by Betty’s side to serve her.

to Betty, Betty would have long kicked her out of Seaview Manor.
There was no way she could complete the mission Alyssa had assigned to her then.
“Go to the wine cellar and get me a nice bottle of wine.”
Betty applied a facial mask onto her newly augmented face. She lazily said, “If you have bad taste and
choose a bad one for me, I will dock your salary.”
“Yes, Ms. Betty.” Nina complied and went to find a bottle of red wine for Betty.
These days, Betty often picked a bone with her over the most minor issues.
She knew Betty was using her as a punching bag because she had served under Lauren previously.
However, it didn’t matter. Nina was a woman on a mission. She would bite the bullet and endure the
bullying.
She believed that what went around would come back around. Eventually, Alyssa would be vindicated
and demonstrate to Sophia and Betty the true meaning of karma.
Betty suddenly remembered she left her phone in the cinema on the third floor. She stor frustration.
She had wanted to instruct Nina to get it.

But she couldn’t live one minute without her phone. Nina had left for the wine cellar, so she had to
retrieve it herself.
She walked out of the room with her facial mask.
After walking awhile, she suddenly saw a fleeting black shadow pass by her.
Betty screamed in shock. Her facial mask almost fell onto the floor.
A woman with disheveled hair stood a few steps away from her. Her face was drained of color. She
was like a ghost that had appeared out of nowhere, standing in the dimly lit corridor. It was mortifying.
Betty took a closer look. She remained shocked as she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mom? I-Is that you?”
Sophia stood hunched over with a cashmere coat wrapped around her. She looked at Betty through her

Betty was mortified when she saw her elegant mother looking like a ghost.
She had not seen Sophia since the cocktail party. But it hadn’t even been that long. How did she turn
into this?
Sophia dashed toward Betty. She then grabbed her arm and ran toward the room.
“Mom, what is it? My arm hurts! Mom!”
“Shut up! Don’t make a sound.”
Sophia glared fiercely at Betty, effectively shutting her up.
Both of them went back to the room.
Sophia looked around furtively. She made sure no one was outside before locking the door.
“What’s the matter with you, Mom? Did something happen?” Betty asked anxiously.
Sophia shuddered as she sat on the sofa. The room was quite warm. Yet, she looked rather cold. She
held on to her coat, unwilling to take it off.
“Betty. I think I misspoke tonight.”
“Misspoke? What do you mean?” Betty was at a loss.
