"Is it truly worth it, all these sacrifices for a man like Harold?"


    When she had just entered the university, she and Aline were actually friends, but their rtionship turned stale because of Harold.


    Aline sneered and departed.


    Rena realized that Aline''s intentions had nothing to do with whether it was worth it or not; she simply wanted Rena to suffer.


    ncing at Vera, Rena couldn''t help but remark, "You''re surprisingly calm today. Normally, you wouldn''t tolerate such behavior."


    Vera casually flipped her hair and replied, "I''ll teach her a lesson sooner orter. Just wait and see. Imagine the look on their faces when Waylen apanies you at the school reunion. Those women may be well-dressed, but theirhusbands rely on the Fowler Group for financial sess. Besides, Mr. Fowler holds a prominent position in the legal circle. It''ll be a piece of cake for him to handle their husbands."


    The thought of Waylen brought a smile to Rena''s lips.


    She took a sip of her coffee and inquired, "Is he really that amazing?"


    Vera''s eyes twinkled mischievously. "Don''t you know how amazing he is?"


    Rena remained silent.


    All of a sudden, her phone was vibrating with a message from Waylen.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "How did you feel aboutst night?"


    Blushing, Rena bit her lower lip before replying, "Not bad."


    Waylen''s immediate response caught her off guard.


    "I felt amazingst night. Shall we head back early after the school reunion on Saturday?"


    Rena was at a loss for words. Vera snatched the phone, reading the messages with wide-eyed astonishment. Waylen''s straightforwardness left her in awe.


    After what seemed like an eternity, Vera couldn''t contain her surprise any longer and blurted out, "I never imagined Mr. Fowler had such a wild side!"


    Rena, being more reserved, blushed and swiftly snatched her phone back.


    She was reluctant to divulge any details no matter how much Vera prodded.


    The previous night had been an intimate encounter for Rena and Waylen, but it hadn''t escted to the point of sexual intimacy.


    Rena''s shyness prevented her from revealing this, and Vera saw an opportunity to yfully tease her friend.


    However, their banter was abruptly interrupted when a news report shed on the LCD screen in the coffee shop.


    It announced the return of Lyndon Coleman, the renowned pianist, from his overseas journey and his uing concert tour in several major cities across the country.


    The news footage showed a throng of reporters eagerly awaiting Lyndon''s arrival, emphasizing his immense poprity.


    "Lyndon is a true superstar!" Vera eximed with a mixture of awe and excitement. "Getting tickets to his concert is nearly impossible, and countless people are vying for a chance to attend! Who would''ve guessed that just twenty-five years ago, he struggled to make ends meet and couldn''t even afford rent?"
