Zack.
Rena, we were college classmates in the past, so you have to help me with this.
â
Rena replied with a smile, âEven though theyâre friends, Zack canât force
Albert to marry you.
â
Aline was at a loss for words.
Finally, she conceded, âThen, include me in your social circle! I know thereâs a grand event of the Smith family tomorrow night.
All the celebrities from Duefron and Heron will be there.
â
âYou want to meet Albertâs father?â A knowing smile crept up Renaâs lips.
Aline remained silent, not denying the fact.
Rena understood her hidden agenda.
Albert, a notorious playboy who had no interest in inheriting the Waston familyâs business, made Aline eager to create an innocent facade to impress his father and then use his father to pressure Albert into marriage.
Unfortunately for Aline, her plan was doomed to fail.
Rena picked up a velvet box and opened it, revealing an exquisite necklace.
She placed it around her neck and asked Aline, âDo you find it beautiful?â
Aline stood up, walked behind Rena, and gently put on the necklace for her.
âIt looks stunning on you.
â
Rena smiled and instructed a servant nearby, âPlease call Talisa and inform her that Iâll be bringing a friend to her banquet tomorrow night.
â
The servant nodded, saying, âOf course, I*ll get in touch with her.

Rena continued sipping her tea.
Alineâs mind was filled with a mix of emotions.
She had been trying to secure an invitation to the Smith familyâs banquet for a long time, but her requests had been repeatedly declined.
How could Rena simply instruct a servant to call Talisa for an invitation? Were they close friends? Or did the Smith family show such respect to Rena?
Observing Alineâs apparent confusion, Rena set her glass down and casually explained, âI did a small favor for the Smith family.
â
Aline grew anxious.

At that moment, she deeply regretted her past actions against Rena.
Although Rena lacked concrete evidence, Aline felt a sense of unease.
She felt fortunate that Rena remained oblivious to what she had done.
Rena went on and said, âBy the way, Iâve heard that youâre investing with
Ruth now.
I know a bit about Zackâs team.
They have a tendency to manipulate competition results.
Be cautious
Upon hearing Renaâs words, Aline felt assured that Rena had truly accepted her as a friend.
She couldnât help but feel a sense of satisfaction.
Rena was now like a delicate flower in a protected garden, no longer a rival to be reckoned with!
