I won't let you down."A wave of admiration washed over the supporting female lead as she locked eyes with Leona. "I can't contain my excitement to work with a beauty like you.

"My dearest Jenny, please come in."With that, Leona gestured for Jenny to enter and bowed slightly.Jenny looked at her and couldn't contain her laughter any longer. They both walked to the couch and sat opposite each other."Okay, I know you've been busy, but you could have at least texted me or something. I got worried," Jenny said."I know, I know.

Daphne slammed the front door shut, her face flushed with anger. Amelia, who was engrossed in a phone conversation, quickly sensed the tension and hung up, worry etched on her face."You know I will call you back," Amelia said abruptly, her voice filled with concern. She stood up and hurried over to Daphne. "Daphne, what happened? Did something happen with Tim while you were out?"Daphne glared at her mother, her frustration evident. "No, Mom, it's not about Tim. It's about Ethan. That arrogant jerk thinks he's invincible just because he inherited the Willows fortune. He treated me like dirt, Mom, humiliated me in front of everyone!"Amelia's eyes widened, a mixture of shock and anger crossing her features. "How dare he? He shouldn't forget that he was once a part of this family. We won't let him get away with this, Daphne. He needs to be taught a lesson."Daphne nodded fiercely, her resolve solidifying.

"Don't worry, I will call you if anything comes up. Also, please tell Steve that I would like to have a discussion with him when I return."Kate, on the other end of the line, already had an inkling of what the discussion would entail and began to speak, but Ethan interrupted her before she could finish."That can wait until I'm back at the mansion," he stated firmly. "In the meantime, please ask Dan to request leave for Brian from school. Also, inform his foster mother that he will be on a school trip, so she doesn't worry unnecessarily."Kate's admiration for Ethan's thoughtfulness shone through her voice as she replied, "You truly care about him, even if you don't show it openly. You and Dan would make a good pair. He ex
