What was that all about? If Eddie stayed single his whole life, was she supposed to be a spinster forever?

It was infuriating. Only a bunch of old–fashioned traditionalists could come up with such a bizarre, nonsensical requirement.

Thinking back on all the women she had introduced to Eddie over the years–he hadn’t liked a single one of them. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

“But still, you can’t just shove her into his bed like that,” Marie argued. “How long have he and Rianne even known each other?”

“And do you realize that Rianne is my Stella’s best friend? Stella is currently turning the world upside down looking for the person who spiked the wine at the wedding. She’s threatening to tear whoever did it limb from limb.”

Stella was deeply protective of anything involving Rianne and Tessa. Since something had gone wrong with Rianne after the wedding, she was determined to find the source.

As it turned out… it was that meddling witch, Evie!

“What do you mean ‘just met‘? They’ve known each other for ages!” Evie countered.

She had already done her homework on the history between Eddie and Rianne. They had indeed known each other a long time; they just hadn’t had much contact over the years.

“But Rianne and Tempest, aren’t they-”

“Tempest who?” Evie cut Marie off. “If I let Rianne go back to that Tempest person, I’d be doing her a massive disservice.”

“You have no idea how much Tempest coddles that sister of his, Ariana. It’s ridiculous.”

was Abraham. But Stella

The only other person she had seen show such unconditional devotion to a sist wasn’t his biological sister; he had raised her to be his little wife. What was Tempest’s excuse for being that obsessed with his actual sister?

“These past few days, he’s been desperately trying to rescue Ariana, and bi

mother is here too. That mother of his is just as biased toward Ariana. When Rianne was with the Hale family, they didn’t even treat her with basic kindness!”

“That’s how they treated the daughter of their benefactor. If she hadn’t been, they probably would have let Rianne starve to death in their house. Do you think I’d let Rianne have any chance of going back to a family like that? Precisely because she’s Stella’s best friend, I can’t trust her with anyone else. My brother has to take

her.”

Evie sounded incredibly self–righteous over the phone! However, to Marie, the whole thing smelled a bit fishy.

“Give it a rest. You’re just desperate for your brother to get married. Don’t act like you’re doing this for Stella’s sake or out of concern for Rianne.”

That woman was certainly skilled at blurring the lines. Having traveled the world for years, her mind was

“Hey, if you don’t believe me, go ask around about the Hale family situation. Then you’ll see I’m truly doing. what’s best for Rianne,” Evie insisted.

“Whatever.” Marie muttered.

Did Rianne really need her help? Besides, with Stella around, Rianne would always be protected, even without Eddie. Marie knew that. When Rianne went to alvoria, Stella had even sent people there to watch over her. Stella would never let Rianne suffer…

“The problem is my brother–he’s such a blockhead,” Evie sighed. “Hurry up and give me some advice.”

Evie had thought of everything and planned it all out perfectly. Eddie was the only variable she couldn’t control. She still couldn’t understand why Rianne had moved into the hospital dorms. They had only just hooked up!

“What advice can I give? What’s the situation with Rianne now?” Marie asked.

“She’s in the hospital dorms. That Tempest guy is constantly trying to track her down. It’s driving me crazy.”

Evie was now on guard against Tempest in every way possible. Even though the deed was done between Rianne and Eddie, Rianne and Tempest had years of history behind them. It was a massive headache.

“You’d better keep a close eye on them,” Marie warned. “There’s an old saying: persistence wears down resistance. Tempest will definitely keep pestering her.”

“I certainly won’t give him the chance,” Evie replied without hesitation.

Then she paused. “Wait, what did you just say? Persistence wears down resistance?”

“Yeah.”

“Got it. I know what to do now.”

If that was the case, then Eddie had a clear direction for his efforts. Without waiting for Marie to respond, Evie hung up.

Marie: “…”

Typical.

She turned and went back to the dining room. The others were already eating. Derrick had piled her small bowl high with food like a little mountain.

Stella was truly famished and had been eating steadily. When she saw Marie return, she asked, “What’s going on? Was it really Evie who tampered with the wine at my wedding?”
