Linda suddenly had a strong hunch. Maybe her son could actually win his wife back.

Even if the couple got divorced, she could definitely afford to give Liana a house.

“This is too much. You, David, Grandma, and Grandpa- you’ve all given me so much already. And now at house… I can’t give you anything back.” Liana said, sounding truly sorry.

“Well, if you two patch things up, you can give me a grandchild. That’s worth more than anything to the Locke family. And if you do divorce, well, I’ll just hope that when I’m old, you’ll find some time to visit me. Then I won’t feel shortchanged,” Linda reasoned gently

Liana managed a smile. “I would definitely visit you.”

“Exactly. If that brat ends up with some awful woman who won’t care for David and me, at least we’ll still have you,” Linda added.

“That would never happen. Elian is very devoted,” Liana immediately responded.

Hearing that, Linda was even more sure the house was gift worth giving.

Liana, for her part, knew she’d never really take the house. If she ever stayed there, it would only be

temporary.

The house would end up being for Theo-or… for the one she was carrying now.

Knowing that, she stopped refusing out of politeness.

After having breakfast with Theo, she left. Lucas was already waiting downstairs. “Mrs. Locke.”

“Sorry for the trouble again, Lucas,” Liana said with a smile as she approached, already knowing the drill.

“Picking you up is easier than picking up the boss,” Lucas grinned, a little embarrassed by her politeness. He led her to the car and opened the door.

They hadn’t gone far when Lucas glanced in the rearview mirror, his expression turning serious. “Mrs. Locke, do you recognize that black BMW behind us?”

Liana turned to look. She saw the BMW emblem but didn’t recognize the car.

“That car’s been tailing us since we left the hospital.”

Liana thought it over. Sounded like Anya was at it again Or someone Anya sent.

When they reached the school and she got out, a gust of wind blew dust into her eye.

Her eyelid felt uncomfortable all morning, and she rubbed it until it was slightly swollen.

It was indeed Anya’s car. Watching Liana walk into the school, Anya gripped the steering wheel so hard her knuckles went white. “Liana, just you wait.”

She was seething. What right did Liana have to be chauffeured by Elian’s driver?

Months ago, she id resolved to return to Alderidge and claim Elian. The moment she arrived, she went straight to Westhaven Estates.

She’d forced herself to soothe Theo-she particularly sliked children-until he was willing to be near her.

Everything had been progressing exactly as she wanted All their mutual friends were pushing them together, calling them the golden couple. The only wrench in her plans was Liana.

Her phone rang She answered.

“Ms. Forrest. Mr. Locke has cleared his entire schedule or Saturday,” a woman’s voice informed her.

“Cleared his schedule? Why Anya demanded.

Elian valued work above almost everything, including is health. He wouldn’t cancel unless it involved Theo or a family emergency

“I don’t know the details. But from Ms. Yale’s tone, it seemed to be because of Mrs.-I mean, because of that bitch.”

The caller, eager to please, corrected herself

Anya’s eyes hardened at the word “Mrs.”

Hearing the girl switch to “bitch” calmed her down. “I see. I’ll have a little gift for you next time we meet.”

She hung up and immediately dialed another number

To her, these lower-tier connections were just pawns to be used and discarded.

Her status as the Forrest heiress was enough to make them grovel

“Hello? Ms. Forrest?”

The voice on the other end sounded slightly muffled.

“Have you heard anything about Liana going somewhere on Saturday? Anya got straight to the point.

She didn’t care if people liked her, only if they were useful.

“I heard she’s going to Kaelwick,” the voice replied.

Of course.

Anya hung up, even more furious. But if Elian was going to Kaelwick with Liana, why shouldn’t she go too?
