While they enjoyed their meal, Travis found himself in the position of having to share some information with Joanna regarding a certain individual by the name of Parker Klein, recognizing that she was already quite familiar with his name and background. At one point in time, the Kleins were known for their considerable wealth, which naturally led to Parker’s association with people like Joanna Bloom, at least, that was what he had heard.

Her initial piercing glare fixated on Travis before she redirected her intense displeasure toward her daughter."What on earth are you thinking, Joanna?" Madame Alice erupted in a furious tirade. "Why do you persist in bringing shame upon our family?"Baffled by her mother's accusation, Joanna furrowed her brow and inquired, "Bringing shame? What do you mean?"Madame Alice's frustration was palpable as she unleashed her exasperation. "You've humiliated us in front of your grandmother and everyone else!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with exasperation. "She called me, yelling about how she's been desperately trying to reach you, but you've consistently ignored her calls. Do you even comprehend the gravity of this, Joanna?

At the Bloom family estate, Joanna took her seat before Madame Emma in her office, her posture resolute, fully prepared to weather whatever scolding and insults might come her way. Addressing her grandmother, she began, "I've come here because I believe there are several matters we should discuss, Grandma."Madame Emma acknowledged Joanna's presence with a nod of agreement. "When I learned that you were here," she remarked, "I couldn't help but think it's high time you arrived. Now, tell me, why, I must inquire, have you been deliberately ignoring my calls? Isn't that a bit disrespectful?"Joanna blinked, her gaze briefly dropping before returning to meet her grandmother's stern eyes.

As the evening sun began to cast its golden hues across the room, Joanna stood before the mirror, wrestling with a decision that might seem trivial to some but held significant weight in her mind: should she leave her long, flowing hair cascading freely or gather it into an elegant knot? Dressed in attire befitting a pre-wedding celebration, her reflection gazed back at her, awaiting the verdict.Meanwhile, Travis, perched comfortably on the edge of the bed, leaned over to fasten his shoes, a picture of composure amidst the preparations. Joanna, with her thoughts lingering on the upcoming event, chose this moment to voice a question that had been swirling in her mind like an unceasing whirlwind.“This gathering, or whatever we’d like to call it,” she began, her tone contemplative, “seems to be more of a casual get-together, don’t you think?
