Without waiting for Mary to say anything else, Noelle ended the call and, almost as an afterthought, blocked her number.

She stood in the early autumn chill, watching the steady stream of cars pass by, the tight knot in her chest still refusing to loosen.

It wasn’t that she didn’t feel sad. It was just that her expectations of a mother’s love had been worn down little by little by repeated disappointment and hurt, until there was almost nothing left.

At the Guzman Residence.

Mary stared at the phone in her hand, listening to the dead tone after the call, her body frozen in place.

Noelle’s sharp words felt like knives, stabbing straight into her heart.

“I… I just wanted to be a good mother… I just wanted to make it up to her… Why won’t she give me a chance? Why does she have to treat me like this?” Mary felt wronged and angry all at once.

Without meaning to, her thoughts drifted back to Viola.

If Viola were here, she would never treat me like this.

At the same time.

Lucas was sprawled on a couch in a bar, swirling his drink. Two glamorous women with perfect makeup and curves sat close on either side of him..

‘Mr. Lucas, drink with us. Don’t drink alone. That’s so boring.”

‘What, wanna play something a little more exciting?”

.ucas raised a brow and casually hooked a finger under one woman’s chin.

She blushed, half–pushing him away. “Oh, stop it.”

But Lucas clearly wasn’t that interested. His gaze drifted lazily around the room before stopping on a woman kneeling in a corner, viping down a vase.

She was dressed provocatively, yet her back was straight. Even on her knees, cleaning a vase, she carried herself with a faint sense of pride.

hat stubborn look reminded him a little of Noelle.

ucas tilted his chin. “Who’s that?”

The woman followed his gaze. “Her? She’s new. Heard her family’s desperate for money. She came here, but still acts all high and nighty. Yesterday, she hit a customer and got punished by the boss. Now she’s stuck cleaning vases.”

‘Oh?”

Lucas smiled, his fox–like eyes narrowing with mischief.

Interesting.

That temper really did feel like Noey.

Buzz.

His phone suddenly vibrated. Lucas glanced at the screen. It was a friend he partied with now and then.

“Lucas! Big news!”

The voice on the other end was excited. “I was just outside Elysian Table, and I swear I saw Noelle, You know, the Guzmans‘ newly found daughter, Sebastian’s girl!”

Lucas snorted and sat up a little. “You drunk or what? What would Noey be doing there?”

“I’m serious! I even saw her go into a private room with a guy. That guy … looked like Chase. You know, the useless second son of

the Lancasters!”

“Chase?” Lucas frowned, the name sounding oddly familiar. “Which Chase?”

“The one who’s always bragging in the group chat, saying his mom set him up on a blind date with the Guzmans‘ second daughter. He was just showing off about it earlier!”

The carefree look on Lucas’s face vanished instantly, his gaze darkening. “A blind date? With Noelle?”

“Yeah! Do you think Mr. Menzie just got cuck–hello? Hello? Lucas?”

Lucas had already hung up.

His expression turned ugly. His fingers flew across the screen as he opened the “Kingstowne Rich Kids Reserve” group chat. Sure enough, Chase had posted a message half an hour earlier.

He didn’t name names, but every line reeked of smugness, hinting that he was having lunch with a newly acknowledged heiress from a top–tier family, with a bright future ahead. A few people were already sucking up in the replies.

“Damn it…” Lucas muttered, slamming his glass down on the table.

The women beside him jumped. “What’s wrong?”

“Someone’s asking to die.”

Lucas stood up, his face calm, but anyone who knew him well understood this was when he was truly angry. “Ladies, have fun. Put it on my tab.”

With that, he grabbed his jacket and strode out, already dialing a number. “Find out where that bastard Chase is right now.”
