Agnes noticed that Pita was actually quite-skilled, so she asked if Rita wanted to work at her studio. She could even bring her child along.
The salary Agnes offered was several times higher than what Rita had been earning before, and Rita agreed immediately, overjoyed.
She worked diligently and responsibly, hardly ever making mistakes.
Although the night had passed without real danger, Agnes couldn’t shake the strange feeling in her chest.
First the fire, then the issue with the model.
But she hadn’t found any clues yet. Maybe it was all just a coincidence.
After Fashion Week ended, Agnes treated the entire staff to a celebratory dinner at an upscale restaurant.
At a corner of the runway venue…
Monica stood with her arms crossed, her expression dark. “What’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to post it? I’ve been waiting forever and haven’t seen anything!”
The paparazzo pulled out his camera and showed Monica the photos he had just taken of the model.
“Ms. Hale, this is a different model! I can’t use this.”
Monica’s face changed drastically. W-What… How did the model become Agnes?
She was completely confused. Had the information she received been wrong?
She returned to her car alone, took out her phone, and made a call.
“Hello? What happened? Why was the model switched to Agnes?”

Just she reached her door, she heard her mother’s sharp, hysterical voice from down the hall.
“Calvin Hale, you still haven’t forgotten that woman, have you?! You still haven’t!”
Monica’s hand froze on the doorknob, and she slowly turned around.
She had grown used to their arguments over the years, but this was the first time she’d heard them mention another woman.
Curiosity sparked instantly. She tiptoed toward her parents’ bedroom and pressed her ear against the door.
Calvin’s voice came through, cold and impatient. “I don’t want to argue with you. You’re being
unreasonable.”
Bianca shouted back, voice trembling with rage. “Didn’t you only marry me because your family forced you? Why did you marry me when you had another woman outside? You bastard!”
A bitter laugh escaped him. “Don’t make yourself sound so innocent. Didn’t you know I had a girlfriend back then?
“You knew, and you still jumped in. Ask yourself, why did you do that?”
Her mother broke into sobs, yelling through tears. “I was a Porter! Marrying me elevated family!

“Shut up!” he roared. “You are not allowed to speak/about her like that! So what if you’re some rich heiress?
“Our family’s wealth surpasses a hundred families like yours!
“In my heart, you’re not even worth a fraction of her! You forced your parents to come to my house and arrange that marriage!
“You pushed my mother to threaten me with her life! You forced us to break up!!!
“Now we’re married, so what more do you want? You wanted the title of Mrs. Hale, and I gave it to you!
“But you want my love, too? Keep dreaming!”
Her mother wailed, sobbing uncontrollably as she pounded against him.
Outside, Monica stood frozen, completely stunned. She had never imagined that her parents marriage was like this.
She had always thought it was just a typical arranged marriage with lukewarm feelings and clashing personalities.
She never knew there had been another woman between them all along
