Willie fell silent, unsure how to respond. After a moment, he lowered his voice.
“Don’t tell anyone.
Let me tell you–my uncle doesn’t like Aunt Ruan at all.”
Jacob’s eyes lit up like he’d caught juicy gossip, turning serious now.
“Who told you that?”
“My mom said it when she was talking with Dad. They said Uncle got together with Aunt Andrea because she saved Grandma Gu before.”
Willie whispered: “I even saw Uncle push Aunt Andrea away before.”
Jacob originally just wanted to learn about the Sutton Family from him, never expecting to uncover his scumbag dad’s secret.
Whether it was true needed further investigation.
“It’s just your word.”
Though Willie didn’t understand the phrase, he sensed Jacob’s disbelief.
“This weekend is my great–grandpa’s birthday. Aunt Andrea will be coming. I’m going with my parents. If you don’t believe me, come along and see for yourself.”

It all fell right into his lap.
“Fine. If you’re right, I’ll believe you. But you have to promise I’ll live the high life.”
Jacob agreed without hesitation.
Either way, he wouldn’t lose out.
This trip to the Sutton estate would also let him teach that awful woman Andrea a lesson.
Stealing his dad was bad enough, but she even dared steal Mom’s work!
Disgusting!
That weekend, Maureen boarded the private car early to head to
Katherine’s home.
On the road.
She stared blankly at the heavy rain outside.
Ms. Ramirez couldn’t help but smile.
“That must’ve been something I said when I was very little. I don’t even remember it myself.”
The driver continued:
“It’s fate that our Mr. Sutton has met you again.”
Maureen also found the world wonderfully strange.

They finally arrived at Katherine’s villa.
Jacob had come home early today.
Both of them welcomed her inside.
“Reenie, come on in! Jacob and I have been waiting to have dinner with you.”
Katherine and Jacob stared at her with expectant eyes.
“Alright.”
Maureen hadn’t seen her child for days. She hugged Jacob and gently pinched his cheeks.
“How’s school been lately?”
Jacob blushed faintly: “Good.”
Katherine grinned and chimed in: “My nephew Dongyang says he’s become quite popular with the girls, stealing all the attention from other boys.”
Jacob inherited the best genes from Maureen and Geoffrey, growing into an exceptionally charming and clever boy.
Katherine thought he’d grow up to be a heartbreaker who’d leave girls swooning.
“Mommy, I’ve been really good.”
Jacob added.

Maureen couldn’t resist pinching his cheeks before planting a kiss on his forehead: “That’s good.”
Jacob instantly flushed crimson.
Only after a long pause did he remember what he wanted to say:
“Oh, Mommy.
I’m visiting a friend’s house tomorrow.”
He deliberately didn’t mention that friend was Willie.
“You’ve made friends already? That’s wonderful.”
Maureen beamed with genuine delight, “Get some rest early tonight
then.”
“Mm–hmm.”
After dinner, once Jacob fell asleep,
Maureen and Katherine chatted over tea.
Katherine slid two ivory invitations across the table.
“What are these?”
Maureen tilted her head in confusion.
“The Sutton Family patriarch’s 80th birthday tomorrow. Everyone who’s anyone in Karaville will be there.”
Katherine lowered her voice, “Since my dad’s been pushing me to

he pulled some strings for these invites–figuring all the eligible bachelors will be at the Suttons‘. This extra one’s for you.”
“Aren’t you trying to get close to Geoffrey?
Seems like your golden chance.”
Maureen couldn’t help feeling touched: “Thank you, Katherine.”
“Don’t mention it between us. Last time you covered for me at that blind date, now it’s your turn to have my back.”
Katherine loathed these social gatherings.
Before moving abroad, Scott would drag her to endless parties.
All to scout wealthy and influential bachelors–she’d had enough.
“Alright.”
