Rena, having weathered numerous experiences, exuded a sense of calm.


    After a considerable silence, Winnie nonchntly remarked, “You are even more beautiful than I had imagined! It is no wonder Robert fell in love with you at first sight and insisted on introducing us. I am acquainted with your family background, as you are the stepdaughter of my old ssmate. However, I have recently heard rumors about your eventful personal life.”


    Maintaining herposure, Rena calmly responded, “Please proceed.”This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Winnie tilted her chin haughtily.


    “Roscoe, Robert’s cousin, has be entangled with a woman of questionable character. I’ve also heard that woman, Vera, has yet to finalize her divorce. Such a woman cannot enter the Figueroa family.


    Moreover, I am aware that you and Vera share a history as both old ssmates and close friends. It is even rumored that you were once involved with Waylen.


    Miss Gordon, I do not wish for Robert to be tied to a woman with a tarnished reputation like Vera.


    Therefore, if you wish to pursue a rtionship with Robert, you must sever all ties with Vera. Furthermore, you must distance yourself from Waylen. Gossip has a way of spreading fear. It would be prudent for you to spend some time abroad until the public’s memory of your past fades.


    Only then will I consider the possibility of your marriage to Robert.”


    With a graceful poise, Winnie delicately savored her coffee, convinced that Rena, if she possessed any intelligence, would make the right choice.


    However, Rena’sughter filled the air.


    “I sincerely appreciate your advice but I am afraid I cannotply.


    I refuse to sever ties with Vera; she will always be a cherished friend to me. As for my past involvement with Waylen, I see no shame in it! If you hold a genuine interest in me, feel free to continue your investigations.


    Let me share an intriguing tidbit: I was once in a four-year rtionship with the current son-inw of the Fowler family! Quite fascinating, wouldn’t you say?”


    Winnie’s countenance grew dark, her finger pointed at Rena, trembling with anger.


    No one had ever dared to challenge her like this before!


    Winnie directed her finger at Rena, maintaining the gesture for a moment before uttering her words.


    “I shall orchestrate the dissolution of your rtionship with Robert. The Figueroa family cannot embrace a daughter-inw of your caliber.”


    “You will have your desires fulfilled!”

    After expressing this, Rena rose to her feet, signaling her intention to depart.


    A svelte silhouette emerged from the outside, none other than Robert himself. His countenance betrayed a sense of unease.


    “Mom!”


    Then his gaze shifted to Rena, as if searching for something in her expression.


    Rena swiftly grasped the situation.


    Winnie harbored animosity towards her. Despite Robert’s persistence, the matter was beyond his control.
