“For real?” Linda stared at Nina, completely baffled.

While the ladies were chatting, Camden downed his drink in one gulp and immediately held out his glass to Nina.

Nina gave him a sidelong look, but still refilled his glass with a patient smile. Then she finally said, “Aunt Linda, your soup is next level.”

‘Seriously, it was that good. Even better than Ryan’s,’ she thought.

As the head chef for national parties, Nina had a real knack for picking out ingredients, but she still couldn’t tell what secret stuff Linda had put in that soup.

“If you liked it, you should’ve just told me! Seriously, I’m not just bragging. This soup recipe has been in my family for generations. My great-grandfather had cooked for the empire, and the recipe was passed down all the way to my grandpa. “But he wasn’t into cooking, so he switched to business instead One day, I found the recipe and begged my mom to let me try it. Honestly, I thought it’d be just okay, but it turned out amazing.”

When Linda realized Nina wasn’t actually asking for money, she felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders.

Sure, the ingredients for her soup were pretty pricey, but it’s not like she made it every day. Having it once in a while was doable, way better than dropping 2 million in one go.

“Just say the word, and I’ll whip up a batch and send it your way Linda said.

“No need to go to all that trouble. I’ll just come over to your place for dinner every day,” Nina said casually.

“Every day?” Linda’s eyes went wide.

“You’re not gonna say no, are you, Aunt Linda?” Nina teased.

Linda thought, ‘I can’t exactly say no, can I? This is going to bleed me dry.’

“My mom’s totally fine with it,” Luna piped up, seeing that Linda was reluctant and answering for her.

Linda shot Luna a look, which said, “You little traitor! Whose side are you on, huh?”

Luna leaned in and whispered in Linda’s ear, “Mom, it’s all for your daughter.”

Linda just stared, lost for words.

That struck a nerve.

Meanwhile, in the Swanson residence, Vivian was answering a call in her room.

It was Stella on the other end. “Did you even hear what I said? Get Lily and Barry to hold that apprenticeship party already. Stop dragging your feet. You promised you’d help Lily shine, but look at her now.

“She’s always getting overshadowed by Nina. The Lowell family is counting on Lily. Once the party’s over, take her to Betrico and get her mingling with the elite.

“And seriously, you are such an incompetent aunt. Lily’s getting pushed around, and you just stand by? Just like they say, once a daughter marries out, she’s no longer part of the family.

“You’re living it up with the Swansons, but have you ever thought about what your mom and brothers are going through? “After you handed over hundreds of millions last time, the Lowe family’s barely scraping by. If you don’t bring in some cash soon, we’ll all be begging on the streets.”

“It’s not my call when it comes to the apprenticeship party,” Vivian said.

Vivian used to be happy whenever Stella called, but today, she was clearly upset, her voice edged with anger. “Mom, have a little heart, will you?

“All these years, have you even noticed how much I’ve sacrificed for this family? I put my own kid aside just to raise my brother’s daughter. I poured everything I had into her. How can you talk to me like this?

“And of course, I stand up for Lily when she gets pushed around Every single time, I chewed Nina out for her, even if it meant ending up on everyone’s bad side. If it wasn’t for Lily, I’d be living a good life.”

Vivian felt wronged. She’d bent over backward

“All you’re doing is raising his kid, and you’re already whining? What else do you think we want from you?” Stella snapped.

“That’s enough!” Vivian snapped. “You always bring this up. Haven’t I done enough for the Lowell family over all these years? Isn’t that enough to repay what I owe him?”
