The treatment surprised Tiana. Uncle Leroy usually treats me like air. I can’t believe he’s personally
pouring me a ss of wine.
Her brows scrunched slightly in confusion.

Hmm, Mom’s here. I guess everyone knows where I went today. Well, they’ll be busy ttering me now
that I’m the future Mrs. I lilton!
Tiana began assuming an air of arrogance. Instead of finishing the entire ss of wine, she merely
took a small sip of the liquor whenever someone toasted her. Still, no one dared to call her out on her
impudence.
On the other side, Elizabeth busied herselfforting, Jessica over text. She remained oblivious to the
happenings at the table.
Nicolette leaned closer to Elizabeth and whispered, “What are you doing, Lizzy? Look at how pleased
Tiana is with herself. I merely wanted to bankrupt her and dent her wallet. I didn’t think the situation
would turn out like this. Ugh, look at how everyone’s ttering her. It’s disgusting!”
Only then did Elizabeth raise her head. Everyone was licking Tiana’s boots. Some attempted to pry
information out of her about the Hilton family.
Tiana uttered, “I’m sure Matthew would love to meet you all, but he’s a

stickler for ethics, and I doubt he’ll bend the rules on my behalf.”
Her message was loud and clear; knowing Matthew as a concerned rtive
was more than wee, but business opportunities were out of the question.
Richard announced coolly, “Don’t make things difficult for Tia. She just
started seeing him, and all of you are moring for benefits from their
association. You’ll be the Lowens’ rtives once they’re married. What’s
the rush?”
The ghost of a smile curved his lips but he covered it up by taking a sip of his
wine.
“My daughter is an excellent girl. Naturally, she would attract a good
match,” he added.
Tia.
Richard’s gaze strayed to Elizabeth then. This girl is nothingpared to
Elizabeth sensed her father’s sneering gaze but opted to ignore it. I came for
Nic and Nic alone. I can swallow my indignity today. I don’t n on seeing
these people ever again.
Suddenly, Tiana asked, “Nic, what did Lizzy give you? She’s raising three
kids now, and doubt she can afford to give you anythingvish. You must be
more understanding.”
Celine and Tiana yed tag on bringing up Elizabeth’s children. They loved
to reopen old wounds.
Nicolette rolled her eyes at Tiana and dered, “As long as it’s Elizabeth’s
gift, I’ll love it!”
“Take it out then! Show us!”
Tiana stretched her hand out, determined to humiliate her half sister.
Elizabeth’s phone rang just then. Seeing Matthew’s name on the screen, she answered the phone, too
scared to reject his call.
Now that she was his personal secretary, she was practically at his beck and call. He was paying her a
large sry to keep it this way.
Elizabeth answered the call, “Hello.”
“Where are you?”
Matthew’s cold voice drifted through the receiver. Elizabeth nced at the table before whispering, “Did
you need something, Mr. Hilton?”
“Where are you?” he repeated.
At that, Elizabeth frowned. Why can’t he answer me instead of stubbornly
repeating his question?
“I’m at Amaranthine.”
“Okay. I’lle and get you. I’m craving mulled wine; make some for me tonight. Right. You’ll need to
cook and clean my house after work from now
on.”
He hung up without awaiting her reply, and Elizabeth’s frown deepened.
Well, I do owe him more than one hundred thousand. I can’t avoid the
physicalbor tonight. Things were merely rxing for me because he had been
overseas.
In the meantime, Nicolette had raised Elizabeth’s gift and dered, “This is
Lizzy’s present. I’m opening it when I get home. I’m not showing it to any of
you.”
