Derrick said, “Alright, you can go now.”

“The matter is resolved. Why are you still here being an eyesore?”

Sebastian asked, “Huh? But we came to have dinner with her.”

To apologize. How could they just leave right after she had forgiven them?

Derrick said, “Eat what? Do you need to eat? Remember to pay the bill on your way out.”

Sebastian: “…”

That was a bit too pragmatic. Kicking them out just like that.

Ashley and Lancelot, however, were more sensible. “Were leaving first.”

Finished

They dragged Sebastian, who still didn’t get the hint, along with them. Spending even one more second, they worried they’d say the wrong thing. And this guy still wanted to eat? What was he thinking?

The moment they left, Marie’s phone rang. It was Evie.

Marie answered, “What?”

Evie: “Marie, I have a sister–in–law!”

Marie: “…”

“The kind who saves me half her cake! She’s as cute as Stella!”

Marie: “Are you nuts?”

Is she showing off? What’s there to show off about? She’s had Stella her whole life and never made such a big deal out of it.‘

Evie: “Hmph! You’re just jealous.”

Marie: “…”

This woman was really sick.

Just as she thought. Evie had been obsessed with wanting a sister–in–law for years. Nothing was even settled yet, and here she was, showing off. Marie despised this kind of behavior from Evie.

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be in such a hurry to show off. She just gave you a piece of cake. Look how thrilled you are.”

Had Stella saved her any less over the years? Did she ever show off like this?

Evie: “I am thrilled! And I will show off! You were always allowed to show off about having Stella as a sister, hmph!*

It was true that Marie used to show off about Stella. She would be overjoyed at anything Stella did for her. It was like she had found a precious treasure, and Stella really was a sweet, precious sister.

So now that Evie had a “sister–in–law” of the same caliber, how could she not flaunt it?

But Marie just shut her down.

Marie: “Is she your sister–in–law yet? And you’re alreadyhowing off?”

Evie: “Why not?”

Evie was very unhappy to hear Marie say this. Rianne might not be her sister–in–law right now, but she would be sooner or later. With her around, if Eddie dared to lose her, she’d cripple him.

Marie: “Are they married? Has your brother even successfully wooed her? If I were you, the most urgent thing right now would be finding tutorials for Eddic to memorize so he doesn’t lose such a great sister–in- law.”

“Hey, Marie! How can you say that? Can’t you stand to see me happy?” Evie hated hearing the words “lose her.” If Eddie lost her, she really would skin him alive.

Marie: “I’m reminding you precisely because I want to see you happy. After all, your brother’s EQ is really not that great.”

Evie: “…”

Although she was reluctant to admit it… she had to say that aside from being a good doctor, Eddie was pretty bad at everything else. But after what happened with Stella last time, Evie was beginning to doubt if he was even a good doctor.

Marie: “Go find those ‘how to woo a girl‘ tutorials.”

Evie: “You! You just wait! When my brother marries Rianne, I’m going to rub it in your face.”

With that, Evie hung up.

Marie scoffed. “Rub it in my face? As if. Stella’s about to have her baby.”

Derrick especially could not understand this behavior of comparing sisters and sisters–in–law.

Nor could he understand Marie’s obsession with Stella.

Yes, obsession…

During the years Stella was in Rivermount, if Abraham was considered crazy, Marie was even crazier. To find Stella, Marie had even resorted to using her mortal enemy, Evie. And she’d been tricked out of so many treasures by Evie in the process.

Meanwhile, on Mona’s side.
