Eleanor smiled coldly. "Why the hurry? To accomplish that, we still need Helen to step in."
"Aunt Helen?" Jessica's anger flared as she recalled their previous confrontation when Helen and Carissa had demanded money from them. "She's allied with Carissa now. Can she still be of any use to us?"
Eleanor slowly picked up her cup and took a sip. "She may not heed our words, but psychological tactics always work on her. There is someone who can handle this matter."
Jessica's eyes brightened. "Psychological tactics? You mean Aunt Dakota?"
She slapped her thigh. "Mom, you think of everything! Aunt Dakota's daughter-in-law, Adelaide, has a daughter. Then, there's Kendrick's concubines too. Inez has a son and a daughter, while Matilda has a daughter and is currently pregnant.
"If Aunt Helen finds out about Matilda's pregnancy, she will undoubtedly be eager to push Rafael to take a concubine. If that sparks a quarrel between them, it will be quite entertaining."
Eleanor sipped her coffee leisurely.
When it cooled, she asked for a fresh cup, then said, "They will never be united in purpose—there will always be conflict and friction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It's up to us to stir the pot. Helen is easy to manipulate. As long as she and Carissa are at odds, using Helen will be straightforward."
"You're right, Mom," Jessica agreed, nodding.
Eleanor pondered for a moment, then added, "In any case, we should aim to make Rafael's household chaotic and unsettled. Ideally, it will be like the Warren family. That will force Rafael to focus on his household affairs and neglect other matters."
Jessica hummed in agreement. Although she had doubts about focusing on Rafael's household, she trusted that her mother had her reasons.

Serena returned to her home and sat at her vanity in her bedroom. As she gazed into the mirror, she studied her reflection. Her cheeks were slightly rounded, giving her a full, lustrous appearance that was traditionally associated with great wealth and prosperity.

I wish there were more chapters uploaded daily. Atleast 10 per day....
When will the next chapter be uploaded? This story is so awesome!...
I’ve read several novels, but this is the best of the best....
I hope that Rafael will not fall for Carmen. I don’t think I can keep reading if he does. Carissa deserves to have a pure and strong love with Rafael that world stand the test of time and all trials and tribulations....
