Suddenly, Alineâs eyes turned fierce as they locked onto Ruth.
She questioned, âWho dared to do this to me? Is it you? Or Rena? Albert?â
Aline extended her hand, gripping Ruthâs neck tightly.
Ruth cried out for help as she desperately fled away.

Renaâs gaze remained fixed on the necklace, brushing off Alineâs inquiry.
She remarked, âThis necklace is truly exquisite.
Beautiful and dazzling objects often entice people to fight for them.
Aline, youâve fought for it relentlessly for so many years.
Arenât you exhausted?â
Aline reluctantly lifted her head and retorted, âItâs not over yet.
Just wait and see, Rena.
â
Rena smiled, her tone detached.
