"So how are things going on with Rudolph, mare?" One of Allia Meng's friends asked while sipping elegantly on her tea. She is Tasha Zhou, the wife of City I's police chief, Vincent Zhou.
"You know your godson mare, as always, working hard just to bring more success for Meng Corporation", Allia Meng replied in a kind voice, sounding helpless and at the same time, proud of her son.
"Ah, my godson is truly a hardworking young man. If only Robert Sy could see and appreciate how deserving Rudolph is of being part of Sy International as well!"
Tasha Zhou said in an aggrieved voice, thinking about the injustice that his own godson is experiencing.
Allia Meng prevented herself from smiling but rather showed another kind face as if she's trying to understand the situation.
"No, don't say that mare. After all, this is also a blessing in disguise on my son's part. He at least learned how to be successful on his own. Despite the immense gap between Sy International and my son's company, the Meng Corporation, I, as a mother, am very proud of my son's achievement through his own hard work."
"Come on Allia! That's the problem with you. After so many years, you still put yourself humbly! Look what happened! That damn Vanessa Sy is belittling you and Rudolph!" Laureen Lim, another friend of Allia Meng butt in in an angry voice.
The anger is not directed towards Allia Meng but rather because of her still being humble and subservient regarding her position in Robert Sy's life.
So what if she is a mistress?! This is the modern world and that only means that Vanessa Sy failed to be a good wife, the reason why Robert Sy kept on cheating behind her back!
Her friend is not to be hated because she lacks as a wife, ah. Laureen Lim continued in her thoughts.
"Oh Laureen!"
Allia Meng started to sniffle. As if really touched by her friend's sincere thoughtfulness.
"So you see, I just told you about you being too humble and now here you are, once again showing your weakness", Laureen Lim rubbed Allia Meng's back to sooth her.
Tasha Zhou's face changed after seeing the pitiful state of their close friend.
