Nathan Leafcastle withdrew his gaze from the window and smiled at her. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Mom, I know. Don’t worry, I’ll get through this."
Liliana Davis raised the corners of her lips, but her heart was not at ease.
After all these years, he hasn’t let go. This time, can he really let go?
...
...
Inside the apartment.
Irene Spencer stood in front of the mirror, looking down at her dress, then raised her face to the mirror.
The person in the mirror had a tall figure, and the fitted dress perfectly highlighted her shapely form, looking quite beautiful.
However, her face was marred by bruises, and the swelling on her cheek hadn’t gone down yet, ruining the overall beauty immediately.
Picking up the powder, Irene Spencer leaned closer to the mirror and applied another layer.
No matter how thick the powder, it couldn’t cover these bruises. Her whole face felt like it was about to crumble with a smile, yet the obvious scars remained visible.
"Damn it!"
She cursed under her breath and angrily threw the foundation onto the ground, storming out of the walk-in closet.
The door was gently pushed open as Anabel Wilton walked in.
"Sis Irene..."
Seeing Irene Spencer coming out of the closet with her face looking like a freshly painted wall, she couldn’t hold back a soft laugh.
Hearing her voice, Irene Spencer turned her face sharply.
"Am I funny to you?"
"No!" Anabel Wilton hurriedly tightened her expression. "The soup is ready. This is a recipe I got from a friend who is into wellness; it can help reduce bruising and activate blood circulation. Would you like to have some?"
Seeing Irene Spencer’s displeased look, she quickly walked over and took her arm.
"Sis Irene, don’t worry. In three to five days, your bruises will surely fade. I’ve already postponed your appointments and work, so just take this time as a short vacation and rest at home for a few days. Come on, let’s have some soup before it gets too cold and won’t taste good!"
Pulling her out of the bedroom and into the living room, settling her onto the sofa, Anabel Wilton busily went to fetch a small bowl of soup.
Irene Spencer took a sip and gestured from the couch towards the television.
"Turn on the TV!"
Due to the injuries on her face, she hadn’t gone out for days and was already bored to death.
Anabel Wilton grabbed the remote and sat beside her, switching channels one by one.
"So boring... These festival shows are all just pretenses... She can’t even act, with that stiff face. Change it!..."
Every channel’s programming got thoroughly criticized by Irene Spencer.
Switching to a news channel, Anabel Wilton changed the channel again without waiting for an instruction.
Instantly displeased, Irene Spencer cursed, "Who told you to change it? Go back! Didn’t you hear? It’s Ashton Company’s news. I want to see how those journalists talk about my absence!"
Anabel Wilton switched back to the previous news. Sure enough, it was reporting on today’s event by Ashton Company.
It started with an introduction to Ashton Company and the project, followed by the main figures involved, like Kris Cooper and Kenton Maverick... There wasn’t a single mention of Irene Spencer.
"At this event, an unexpected incident occurred when Ashton Company’s president personally took to the stage to propose..."
Irene Spencer had her face down drinking soup, but upon hearing this, she immediately looked up at the screen.
On the screen, there appeared the video of Kris Cooper proposing to Vera Wave.
Seeing Kris Cooper kneeling in front of Vera Wave, Irene Spencer tilted the bowl in her hand, and the soup spilled out.
