With no one to drink with, Zachary had no choice but to get into his car. He told his driver to discreetly head toward the mall–he was curious about what Vivian and the others were buying.
By then, Vivian and Cecilia had already arrived at the mall. They started with some food and drinks before diving into their shopping spree, buying clothes and shoes and swiping their cards at every turn.
With Zachary’s card in hand, Vivian was treated like a VIP. The store assistants catered to her every need, even arranging for her purchases to be delivered straight to their homes.
“Shopping is truly a joy when you have money,” she said contentedly. As a woman, who wouldn’t enjoy shopping? In an ideal world, she’d have an endless supply of money to spend.
Cecilia, on the other hand, bought a lot of clothes for the four children. She carefully picked something for each of them. Vivian noticed the tiny outfits and couldn’t help but sigh. “I wish I had a daughter so I could buy her tons of adorable clothes.”
Cecilia smiled wistfully. She, too, had always wanted a daughter, but she had only given birth to boys.
It would be nice to have both sons and daughters.
“Mommy, Ms. Kennedy, having a son is great too!” Jonathan piped up. “When he grows up, he can carry your bags for you.”
At that moment, he was dutifully holding all the bags for the two women.
Cecilia chuckled. “That’s true. My Jonathan is amazing. A son and a daughter–both are wonderful in their own way.”
Hearing her praise, Jonathan’s face flushed red.
Vivian smirked. “Oh my, I never expected you to blush so easily! Your face is as red as an apple!”
Immediately, Jonathan turned his head away. “Ms. Kennedy, please stop teasing me. I wasn’t blushing at all!”
“Of course, you weren’t,” Vivian teased. “It’s probably just too hot in here, right? Ha!” She laughed freely.
The three of them were having a great time, completely unaware that someone familiar was watching them from nearby. A woman wearing a mask and sunglasses stood next to Cassandra, her posture tense.
Cassandra narrowed her eyes. “Why do we keep running into them everywhere?”
The masked woman tugged at Cassandra’s sleeve. “Cassandra, let’s keep a low profile. Now’s not the time to provoke Cecilia–or Vivian, for that matter. She’s the only granddaughter–in–law of the Sinclair family.”
Had Cecilia been there, she would have recognized the woman immediately. It was none other than Stella- someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Cassandra knew she couldn’t openly confront Cecilia and the others in her current situation. Taking a deep breath, she muttered, “Stella, don’t tell me you’ve really turned over a new leaf. Are you scared of Cecilia and her people now?”
Stella adjusted her sunglasses, her expression hidden behind the lenses. “I just want to live my life peacefully now,” she said.

Cassandra scoffed. “Do you really think Cecilia and the others will just let you be? Once she starts digging, everything will come back to haunt you. You’ll end up even worse than I am!”
Of course, Stella understood that. But she wasn’t the fool she used to be, always rushing headfirst into conflicts. “Ms. Evans, I don’t have the same fighting spirit I once did. I don’t want to compete anymore,” she said calmly.
Cassandra rolled her eyes. “Then why did you come out with me today? To mock me?”
Stella lowered her head slightly. “Of course not. We’re in the same boat. I genuinely want what’s best for you.”
In truth, she had other motives. She wanted to see how far Cassandra had fallen. At the same time, she was hoping to gather information on Cecilia and whether she had regained her memory.
From what she had heard, it seemed like her memory hadn’t returned–and likely never would.
“Well then,” Cassandra said, her voice sharp, “go over there and talk to Cecilia and the others.”
