She sneered, “Since you know my husband gave it to you, you should’ve hidden it better.”

The woman’s composure cracked. She spat through clenched teeth, “Don’t get cocky, Nora. Your husband will divorce you sooner or later!”

Without flinching, Nora tilted her glass and poured the crimson wine over the woman’s head, the liquid trickling down in a humiliating cascade. “You’re just a dish he’s already eaten. I can toss you into the trash anytime I please. You’ll never be worthy of standing against me.”

Soaked in red wine, the woman fled the room in disgrace.

Bethan, still stunned, turned to Nora. “You’re really not angry?”

Nora accepted a napkin from the waiter and carefully wiped her hands.

She gave Bethan an apologetic look. “I used to be. Not0:18

The longer they talked, the more Bethan realized how much Nora’s story mirrored her own.

Her marriage was nothing but a business arrangement, and Robert kept cheating, fathering children with his

mistress one after another.

For the sake of family interests, Nora wasn’t allowed to divorce. Instead, she had to swallow her pride, lower her boundaries again and again, and clean up Robert’s messes just to preserve appearances.

When Nora finally left, Bethan remained alone in the corner, lost in thought.

She understood now. Hugh had brought her here on purpose. He had introduced her to Nora on purpose.

Step by step, he was trying to grind down her pride, wear away her spirit, and mold her into the next “Nora”.

Hugh walked over and adjusted the crown in Bethan’s hair with practiced ease. “How was the conversation?”

He slipped an arm casually around her waist, ignoring the people watching.

He smiled, “It’s always rewarding to talk with women on

the same wavelength. Next time, I’ll introduce you to a few more.”

On the same wavelength?

Bethan let out a quiet, mocking laugh. “I used to only half understand. Now I finally see why it had to be me who became Mrs. Cavill.”

Hugh’s eyes flickered as he held her gaze. “Go on.”

They stared at each other in silence.

Bethan tugged the corner of her lips into a bitter smile.

Because she had been born into a true old-money family, the kind where elegance and pride were etched into her bones.

She had been raised with grace, taught to hold her head high, and she would never stoop to clawing at a mistress in public or let her marriage reduce her to a disheveled:18

raising her, she no longer had a powerful background or allies. That made her the perfect target-easy for Hugh to control.

He needed a wife who would never embarrass him. And she was perfect for the role.

Just then, Mason appeared. He shot Hugh a venomous glare and grabbed Bethan’s hand to pull her away.

But Hugh stepped in front of them, his composure unshaken. “When did you come back from abroad?”

Mason’s eyes swept over him with disdain, his voice laced with hostility. “If you hadn’t called my father, do you think he’d have shipped me overseas like a prisoner? You heartless bastard. I don’t want to see you.”

Bethan’s chest tightened. She finally understood why she hadn’t seen Mason since her return. Hugh had been

behind his sudden exile.

Mason slapped Hugh’s hand off Bethan’s waist. “Keep your filthy hands off her. I need to talk to Bethan.”

High didn’t rise to the bait.

In public, Bethan forced herself to give a polite nod before letting Mason lead her away.

They slipped into a small side room outside the main hall.

Mason studied her. “Since you’ve been back, has he hurt you again?”

Bethan struggled to find words.
