It just wasn''t working out.


    Adide turned ghostly pale, her knees buckling as if the air itself was suddenly too thick to


    breathe.


    Stuart darkened his expression.


    "Just breathe slowly. I''ll take you to the hospital," Stuart said and didn''t forget to address Morwenna,


    "I''ll have the bodyguard take you to the party."


    "Stuart..." Adide''s voice was dripping with hurt and usation.


    She couldn''t believe that even now, Stuart was sending Morwenna off to the party.


    Supporting Adide, Stuart led her away.


    Once they were in the car, his voice was cold and emotionless. "Adide, quit the maniptions.


    Whether you go or not, Morwenna has to be at that party. Got it?"


    Adide, already struggling to breathe, felt like her breath hadpletely stopped.


    Like nothing had happened, Stuart gently reminded her, "Remember to breathe."


    He then drove away with Adide.


    Morwenna was left standing there with a tall and dark-skinned bodyguard.


    The bodyguard nced at the departing Mr. Hetfield, then at the stunningly beautiful Morwenna,


    visibly uneasy about speaking or moving.


    After a moment, Morwenna, not wanting to attend the party alone but thinking of Norbert, turned to


    the bodyguard and said, "Let''s go."


    "Uh, sure."


    The bodyguard escorted Morwenna to the venue, a private gathering.


    Stopping at the entrance, the bodyguard said, "Here we are. I’ll wait outside. It''s not appropriate for


    me to enter."


    "Thank you, you’ve been a great help," Morwenna said as she got out of the car alone.


    The venue was a quaint house with intricate architecture, resembling a picturesque scene straight


    from a ssic novel.


    Inside, being a private event with familiar faces. There was no need for formal wees.


    However, it was Morwenna''s first time here without Stuart.


    She walked around, trying to find her bearings.


    Then, she found herself lost.


    The ce was enormous.

    Her high heels, though elegant, started to hurt after walking for a while.


    Resting for a moment, she was about to try another direction when she heard a frail voice behind


    her, “Ms. Winslet.”


    Morwenna frowned. It was Adide again, seemingly omnipresent.


    Turning around, she saw Stuart and Adide approaching together.


    Weren''t they supposed to be heading to the hospital?


    Standing next to Stuart, Adide spoke in a feeble voice, “Ms. Winslet, I took some medication and


    I''m feeling better, so we didn''t go to the hospital. Let’s go in together. I haven’t seen Norbert in such


    a long time.”


    Adide appeared calm, but internally she was unraveling.


    Stuart had warned her for Morwenna''s sake.


    Norbert had gifted a million-dor dress for Morwenna.


    Suddenly feeling threatened, Adide feared her ce was being usurped, which couldn''t happen.


    After all her sacrifices to gain Stuart''s special attention, Adide couldn''t let someone else take her


    ce.


    Morwenna, uninterested in Adide''s inner turmoil, was about to walk away when Adide


    suddenly grabbed her arm. "Ms. Winslet, let’s go in together."


    Morwenna frowned, “Why should we go together? Besides, we aren’t close. Please don’t touch me.”


    Adide tightened her grip, her long nails digging painfully into Morwenna''s arm, "Ms. Winslet, is


    your beef with me because of Stuart?"


    Morwenna, disgusted, pushed her away.


    Then, she saw the madness re in Adide’s eyes.


    Adide staggered backward, right towards the pond behind her.
