The embossed paper, sprinkled with gold dust, exuding an allure of luxury beyond her reach in this lifetime.

"What do you want?" "Freya, don't you want to get rid of the people you despise?" Christine leaned in, lowering her voice, "I can help you." Freya stared. "Why should I trust you?

"Shut up! Get lost!" Christine sighed tically. "Fine, guess I approached the wrong person. But next time, it might not be a birthday invite you receive, but a wedding invitation from Rupert himself." She turned to leave with a laugh.
The mere thought of another woman marrying Rupert made Freya tense.
Suppressing her jealousy, she called out to mes Cristine, "Wait, I'm in. I with Bridget's party What's your belongs to en.kikit Christine returned with a smug look. "What you don't know is that Eloise and her husband are quietly getting a divorce because he cheated, but he won't disclose his lover's identity." Freya caught on to Christine's implication.
"I get it." On the day of the birthday bash, Sylvia entered the hall with her colleagues.
