As Isabella hurried towards their car in the dimly lit garage, the weight of the tumultuous evening bore down on her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she felt an overwhelming need for space and solitude to gather her thoughts. Sebastian, driven by concern and remorse, abandoned the banquet and hurried after his sister. "Isabella!" he called, but his voice carried both an urgent plea and a tinge of regret. Isabella slipped into the driver's seat and swiftly locked herself inside the car, creating a small sanctuary where she could process the maelstrom of emotions that swirled within her. Sebastian, his anxiety mounting, approached her vehicle and rapped gently on the window. After a few moments, Isabella relented, winding the window down, her eyes red and tear-streaked.Desperation clung to Sebastian's voice as he tried to explain himself. "Isabella," he began, "I understand that we've been tough on you, and I'm so sorry for my earlier words. But please, just hear me out." Isabella g

As the party continued, the grand hall buzzed with laughter and merriment. Guests reveled in the festivities, savoring delicious food, exquisite wine, and dancing the night away. Yet, as the evening drew to a close, guests gradually started to bid their farewells, departing from the opulent venue. Amidst this flurry of activity, Eleanor and Sebastian found themselves quietly collecting souvenirs and unopened bottles of wine from the banquet tables. They carefully stashed these items into bags, preparing to take them home. Their efforts, however, did not go unnoticed.One of the sharp-tongued cousins, who had previously taunted them, couldn't resist the urge to add another jab. With a sly smirk, she called them "leeches." Eleanor, determined to maintain her composure, offered a diplomatic explanation. She responded, "It's for my neighbor," all the while subtly swaying to the music playing in the background. The cousin's attempt to insult them slid off like water off a duck's back, as E

"I really like how the event turned out in our favor," she said.Sebastian, sharing her sentiment, grinned. "I know, right? Those useless lots thought they could bring us down with their extravagant gifts to Mama Christina." Their laughter filled the car as they reflected on the unexpected turn of events.

Sebastian's observation about Isabella's absence didn't go unnoticed by Eleanor. Concerned, she summoned Tes, who was still visibly upset from her earlier confrontation with Eleanor. "Where is my daughter?" Eleanor inquired impatiently. Tes responded quickly, "She's upstairs in her room, ma'am, and it's locked. She specifically told me not to disturb her or allow anyone to disturb her." Eleanor snatched her towel back from Tes and turned to Sebastian. "Sebastian, tell that girl to open her door right now. I need to speak with her."Sebastian nodded and called up to Isabella, "Isabella, Mum needs to talk to you. Open the door." Tes, undeterred by her earlier dressing-down, quickly began preparing Eleanor's bath, knowing that any delay could result in another round of harsh words from her employer. Sebastian's persistent knocking on Isabella's door, along with his calls, went unanswered. He returned to his mother and reported, "She's not answering, Mum. I tried."Eleanor, feeling a mixt

He quickly got dressed, ready for another day of work at the clothing factory where he labored diligently.

As the conversation continued, their supervisor, Mr. Chun, stormed into the weaving section. "Get to work, get to work, stop unnecessary chit chat!" he barked, his stern gaze scanning the workers. "Get to work!" Alex and Daniel exchanged a knowing look and quickly refocused on their machines. They were well aware that Mr. Chun didn't tolerate any distractions during working hours. The lunch break at the BnN clothing factory was always a welcome escape from the relentless noise of the machines. Alex and Daniel made their way to the factory's modest cafeteria.

The sun had barely begun its ascent, casting a gentle morning light through the windows as Isabella grumpily stumbled into the kitchen. Her tired eyes and disheveled hair hinted at a night of restless sleep. She reached for the coffee maker, intent on brewing a cup of much-needed caffeine. As she fumbled with the coffee grounds, Tes entered the kitchen quietly, her presence almost as unobtrusive as a whisper. With a respectful tone, she spoke, "Ma'am, you should have called me to help you get your coffee." Isabella, still bleary-eyed and in a morning haze, managed a faint smile. "Oh, Tes, you're always so kind. But I didn't want to bother you." Tes replied, "It's no bother at all, ma'am. I'm here to assist."Isabella settled into a chair at the kitchen table, appreciating the warmth of her freshly brewed coffee as it began to chase away the remnants of her morning grogginess. She looked at Tes and made a decision. "You know what, Tes? You are free from me today. You can attend to ev
