What Susan hated most was Nancy’s arrogance, the way she looked down on people simply because of her family background.

When she was a child, Susan’s family had been poor. They barely had food to eat, let alone pretty clothes.

Nancy, fond of her, would always buy two of everything–every outfit she purchased, she gave one to Susan.

Susan had no other clothes, so she was forced to wear what Nancy gave her.

But one day she overheard others whispering that she deliberately flattered Nancy just to benefit from her generosity. They laughed at her poverty.

From that moment on, Susan hated Nancy bitterly.

As they grew older, Nancy would occasionally give her jewelry, luxury bags, and other fine things.

Susan needed them, so she accepted.

But every time Nancy offered her something, it felt like condescension, a humiliating act of charity.

Now, with Nancy close to death, Susan relished the thought that she would never be overshadowed again.

Once she married Blanc and bore him a son, she would become the enviable mistress of the Luke family. Her former classmates would grovel before her, flatter her, and never again dare to say she was beneath Nancy.

Susan gripped Renee’s hand tightly, her voice filled with near–maniacal conviction. “Renee, our good days are ahead of us. You and I–we will not lose!”

With that, she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed James.

James had been eager to return home and hadn’t lingered long at the club.

Jetson, who hadn’t brought his own car, insisted on hitching a ride with him.

Just as they reached the parking lot, James’s phone lit up with Susan’s call.

A flicker of coldness passed through his eyes when he saw her name. But he still answered.

“Madam Susan, what do you want?”

“James, I’ve been feeling awful lately. Tonight I even came down with a fever.”

Susan sighed heavily, layering her tone with helplessness. “This body of mine is useless. I don’t know how much longer I can last. Feverish and muddled, I kept recalling those three years I cared for you. James, could you come and keep me company? Just talk with me a while?”

At the mention of those so–called three years of care, James’s eyes grew even colder.

Still, he wanted to confirm something. His voice was flat. “Fine. I’ll come over now.”

“James, how exactly did Renee harm Lily? Can’t you two reconcile?” Jetson asked cautiously.

James didn’t answer. He only said, in that same icy tone, “You can ride with me. But first, we’re stopping at Susan’s.”

Jetson immediately understood–Susan, Renee’s mother.

He had thought James and Renee were finished, but now James was going to see Susan? Maybe there was hope for reconciliation after all.

As an old friend, Jetson wished James wouldn’t break things so harshly. But if he did forgive Renee, Jetson also felt it was unfair to Lily. He was torn.

Running his hand through his short hair in frustration, he decided to wait and see how things unfolded.

Before long, James’s car pulled into Susan’s villa.

Jetson, thinking it impolite to arrive empty–handed, had bought some supplements on the way.

James retrieved them from the trunk and shoved them all into Jetson’s arms. “I need the bathroom. You go upstairs first.”

“Madam Susan’s room is the first one on the east side.”

“Oh.”

Jetson had wanted to go up with him. He hadn’t seen Susan in years and didn’t know what to say. But when James shot him that frigid look, he forgot he could have waited in the living room. Like a fool, he trudged upstairs alone.

James, of course, had no intention of using the bathroom.

He bore grudges.
