Ste, not wanting to dredge up past horrors, shook her head and smiled through her tears.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    “No, it’s just that everything feels so perfect now.


    I’m truly happy.


    ”


    He tenderly ki*sed her forehead, his voice a soothing balm.


    “Well, you’d better start getting used to it.


    Our days ahead will be filled with even more happiness.


    ”


    Hisforting presence reassured her, and she nodded, her voice hopeful.


    “If only I could find my biological mother, our wedding would beplete.


    ”


    Grasping her hand with conviction, Matthew assured her, “We will find her, don’t worry.


    We’ll make everything perfect.


    ”


    The next morning, while Ste and Matthew were having breakfast, Ste’s phone rang.


    It was Be.


    As she answered, her smile faded, and her expression hardened.


    Matthew, unaware of the conversation’s details, noticed the change in her demeanor.


    After Ste ended the call, he asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”


    Ste set her phone aside and exined, “Be said she’s not feeling well and won’t be able to make it to Prosperity Group today.


    ”


    Noticing Ste’s concerned frown, Matthew thought she was worried about Be.


    He suggested, “Are you worried about her? We could visit her now if it would help.


    ”


    Ste shook her head.


    “No, it’s not that.


    Be mentioned that Elizabeth will be going to Prosperity Group in her ce.


    ”


    Ste had never beenfortable around Elizabeth, and the prospect of having to work closely with her was unsettling.


    Matthew was also surprised by Be’s decision but tried to reassure Ste, “Be must have good reasons for her choice.


    Don’t worry.


    Elizabeth can’t harm you at Prosperity Group.


    Just rx.


    ”


    Though still troubled, Ste knew she had no say in the matter since it was Be’s decision.


    “I just hope Elizabeth doesn’t cause any trouble.


    ” Ste sighed with a sense of resignation.


    After breakfast, they drove to thepany.


    As soon as they stepped out of the car, they encountered Elizabeth.


    “Good morning, Mr.


    rk.


    What a coincidence!” Elizabeth greeted Matthew with excessive warmth, a stark contrast to her usual attitude when talking to Ste.


    Casting a casual nce at Ste as if she had only just noticed her, Elizabeth said dismissively, “Oh, nice to see you here, Ste.


    ”


    Elizabeth’s gaze dropped, and she was visibly stunned upon noticing the ring on Ste’s finger.


    She recalled that Ste hadn’t been wearing a ring thest time they met, but now there was a beautifully designed diamond ring adorning her hand.


    Jealousy surged within Elizabeth as she bit her lip, unable to look away from the sparkling diamond.


    She found herself daydreaming that one day Matthew might slip a simr ring onto her finger.


    Snapping back to reality, Elizabeth forced herself to divert her gaze.
