Yolanda nodded. “Okay, I'll follow your lead.”
“Just don’t do anything rash. Wait for my signal. I'll plan everything, and you just do as | say.” “Okay!”
After hanging up, Quintessa suddenly felt uneasy.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
That evening, Sean and Rachel had both returned home.
The news of Quintessa’s return had Rachel leaping to her feet, “What? Quintessa is back?”
She leapt so fast that she knocked her knee against the coffee table with a loud thud. The sound echoed, but the shock of Quintessa’s return numbed any pain.
Her mind was entirely consumed with the thought — Quintessa was back!
Miranda, fuming, smashed another coffee cup in frustration. “Yes, not only has she returned, but she’s also come back in glory. Quintessa’s trending online, for heaven’s sake. She’s become a celebrity, landed a movie role, and now she’s poised to become the center of attention. And to top it off, she’s challenging us, like she’s determined to make our lives miserable.”
Miranda was itching to tear Quintessa apart. For the past three years, she'd imagined Quintessa living at the bottom of society, perhaps even forced into prostitution.
What she hadn't anticipated was Quintessa reappearing so abruptly, living so well and so glamorously. Landing a lead role in a blockbuster right from the start-why was she blessed with such good fortune?
The thought of Quintessa once again rising above her filled Miranda with a bitter, venomous hatred. Rachel's face was ashen as she watched Quintessa radiate allure and beauty in the video.
Three years had passed, and she had grown even more seductive, more enchanting, and more beguiling On stage, among male celebrities accustomed to beauty, all eyes were on her.
Rachel's grip on her phone tightened. She, like Miranda, was caught off guard by Quintessa’s sudden reappearance, which might throw their lives into disarray.
For Rachel, the hatred ran deeper because three years ago, Quintessa had slept with her man. Her eyes were filled with a venomous loathing, like a serpent fixating on its prey. “She actually came back, she really did come back.” Rachel whispered hoarsely.
Miranda, beside herself with anger, kicked the coffee table repeatedly, cursing. “Quintessa should be living like a rat in the gutter and be despised by everyone. What right does she have to live so well? Mom, Dad, do something! | can’t stand to see her thriving. | want her gone.”
Lilian was almost sick with rage. Turning to Sean, who had remained silent, she implored, “Well? Think of something! Her audacity in announcing her return is a direct challenge to us. Don’t forget how she threatened you three years ago. If that bitch doesn’t go down, none of us will have peace.”
Sean, his head ached from the constant commotion. Business troubles in his company were incessant, and there was no peace at home either. He felt increasingly overwhelmed.
