“Liana, dear.”
It was Rosalind and Linda. They were already seated inside.
Liana lowered her gaze, saw who was there, and by the time she came to, she was in the car.
The three of them sat comfortably with plenty of room, but Liana felt tense.
“Roy said you lost a lot of blood from the miscarriage. Your body needs careful nurturing to recover,” Rosalind said, her voice full of gentle concern.
Liana’s eyes flickered with quick doubt.
That retired traditional doctor is a quack?
That day, after he checked her pulse, she’d been trembling, convinced she was about to be exposed.
And this was his diagnosis?
Liana secretly breathed a sigh of relief as the car pulled up in front of an elegant, upscale boutique.
“Come along. We’ve arranged for you to get ready here, Linda said.
Liana didn’t ask questions. Once in this car, she was at the elders’ mercy.
“Black really shows off the figure, but here it’s a bit small-almost like there’s nothing there,” Rosalind mused thoughtfully after Liana had changed into a sleek evening gown.
“Grandma!”
“Rosalind, a little padding will fix that,” Linda and Liana both blushed slightly as Rosalind gestured vaguely
towards Liana’s chest.
Rosalind wasn’t the least bit flustered. She chuckled, “It’ll fill out nicely once your health is restored and you have a baby.”
Hearing this, Liana suddenly remembered that the marriage certificate was still with Linda. She instinctively glanced at her.
Linda, sensing her thoughts immediately, patted her gown. “My phone. I think I left it in the car. I’ll go
check.”
Liana requested a natural, understated makeup look. Her blonde hair was swept up into an elegant chignon, highlighting her delicate features and long neck.
Soon, an attendant brought over a jewelry set featuring an exceptionally large sapphire surrounded by brilliant diamonds.
“This was your grandfather’s and my wedding gift to Linda. Now it’s passed on to you,” Rosalind said softly, standing behind Liana as she admired her in the mirror
Liana, seated before the vanity, stood up the moment she saw the set. “Grandma, this is far too precious.”
“You know our family’s background. No matter how precious the jewels, they’re still not as precious as you. Wear it with confidence. Let the Forrests see tonight just how treasured you are in our family. Let’s see who

“But Grandma, the sapphire is bigger than an egg,” Lian whispered nervously, eyeing the necklace.
“You don’t like it big? Linda said the same thing at first. But she grew to adore it,” Rosalind said with a wink.
The young women assisting with hair and makeup nearby couldn’t help but blush.
“Rosalind, what nonsense are you filling Liana’s head with now?” Linda chided lightly as she re-entered the
room.

Linda, returning from the car, had heard Rosalind’s comment. She was a bit mortified.

But their Rosalind could turn proper words downright dirty and still think she was right. Correcting her was
a lost cause.
“I wasn’t talking about a man’s thing. And even if I was-don’t you like it big?” Rosalind asked, seeing the flustered looks on the young stylists’ faces and doubling down.
Liana’s face was burning, but she couldn’t help the sudden urge to laugh.
Soon, the driver came in to hurry them along. “Mr. Locke’s waiting for Mrs. Liana Locke.”
There weren’t many cars parked outside the Forrest Vill, but a sizable crowd had gathered on the front
steps.
