    The atmosphere reeked of affluence, catering only to a privileged few.


    As they waited for their orders to arrive, Sarah couldn’t help but express her gratitude to Marlene for


    bringing them to such avish establishment. She confessed that she had never imagined herself


    dining in a ce like this because of how expensive it was to be here.


    Madison, her eyes wide with happiness, chimed in, echoing Sarah’s sentiment. She admitted that she


    could never afford such an extravagant experience on her own. She proceeded to share the story of


    how she had mentioned their lunch ns to her husband and how he immediately suggested finding a

    She paused, relishing the moment as her friends leaned in, awaiting her next revtion. “Without me,


    you wouldn’t have ess to the luxuries life has to offer, because, I mean, with your husband’s


    paychecks, they can hardly afford to buy you the cheapest designer bags,” Marlene proimed, her


    voiceced with a condescending air.

    Marlene continued her verbal attack on their choices of partners, a smug smile ying on her lips. “I


    warned you all not to rush into marriage with just any man,” she taunted, her voice dripping with


    superiority. “But despite my warnings, you all bragged about your husbands, only to find out that


    they couldn’t even provide you with the most basic luxuries. How sad.”


    Madison, Sarah, and Rein remained silent, their eyes cast down in a mix of anger and resignation.

    right, Marlene. We rushed into marriage, and now we see the consequences,” she admitted, her voice


    filled with a tinge of regret.


    Sarah continued, her toneden with admiration. “You’re truly the luckiest one among us, my dear


    friend. You married a wealthy man like Kayden ck, and now you’re living like a queen.” Sarah’s


    words hung in the air, fueling Marlene’s sense of superiority.


    Madison, bolstered by Sarah’spliment, chimed in with her own homage to Marlene’s apparent luck


    “And let’s not forget how smart you were to get nant at just the right time,” she added. “You’ve


    secured your ce in his life and increased your ess to his wealth.”

    superiority.


    She continued basking in her self–proimed superiority, boasting about hervish lifestyle, and


    subtly belittling her friends along the way.


    Rein, who had been silently observing Marlene’s haughty demeanor, couldn’t help but smile knowingl


    With a calm expression, Rein leaned back in her chair and looked directly at Marlene. “You know,


    Marlene, you truly made a quick and smart decision,” she said, her voiceced with sarcasm.


    Marlene’s eyes narrowed, sensing that Rein was about to challenge her. “I have to admit, I never woul


    ve thought of sleeping with my sister’s husband and orchestrating his divorce just so he could marry

    mock Marlene’s actions did not go unnoticed.

    interspersed with a chuckle, attempting to lighten the atmosphere.


    Madison, eager to join in on the peacekeeping efforts, added her own contribution to the diversion.


    “Speaking of raising children, did any of you see that adorable video of a puppy trying to howl like a
