At the Eaton Mansion, Juan gave Gand a final pop quiz, ensuring he had a thorough understanding of the Lowe Group. Satisfied, Juan set down the ruler. "That''s good enough."


    Gand eyed the ruler, finally letting out a sigh of relief. "I told you, I''m a quick learner. Three days? Three hours would suffice."


    "You''ve got a thick skin," Juan muttered, not bothering to look up. "For the next few days, make sure Liza doesn''t see Cathryn. Keep them apart until the engagement party." Gand sat down across from him. "Keep them from meeting?"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Yes."


    "They''re best friends, almost inseparable," Gand mused. "Even with this mess, Liza will forgive Cathryn if she apologizes sincerely. Liza doesn''t like Drake that much after all. Mene and go." "That''s why they can''t meet."


    "You don''t want them to reconcile?"


    "Cathryn chose to be with Drake for her own gain, knowing it would hurt Liza. If they meet, Cathryn will sweet-talk Liza into forgiving her. You can''t let Liza be friends with someone like that."


    "I might not be the brightest, but I''m not stupid. You''re not doing this for Liza. You want to use her to disrupt the engagement party, don''t you?"


    "Correct. Now you''re learning."


    "Are you taking me for a fool?"


    "Not at all. I''m doing this with good intentions."


    "And get a little something for yourself on the side?"


    "How so? We''re friends. I can''t let your sister be used as a pawn."


    Gand stared at Juan, finally realizing how scheming he was.


    "Fine, I''ll help you. I never liked


    Cathryn anyway. She brought Liza to Seamar City, and then what? Liza ended up being shipped back like luggage. Although Liza was partly to me for her rude behavior, Cathryn had iting."


    Juan stood up, poured himself another cup of coffee, and put on his headphones to tune out Gand''s ramblings.


    Three dayster, Drake and


    Cathryn''s engagement party sent shockwaves through the overseasmunity. Unlike his previous engagement to Liza, this one was met with universal criticism.


    "Shameless! Stealing her best friend''s ex-fiancé."


    "They must have been seeing each


    other all along. Why else would they rush to get engaged right after the Eaton family called off the wedding?"


    "Poor Liza. She took Cathryn in out of sympathy, only to end up like this."
