Their delightful meal was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell resonating through the house.

“Who are you looking for?”
Lyndon had arrived with his mother and wife. The sight of Zack momentarily stunned Lyndon,

Collecting himself, Lyndon inquired politely, “Is Rena home?”
Upon hearing Lyndon’s voice, Rena’s discomfort grew. Yet Eloise, with a tender touch, covered Rena’s hand and reminded her, “He’s a guest. Your father always taught you not to be rude.”

Ann’s sorrow became evident as she expressed, “Why won’t you acknowledge your heritage? Your father possesses immense wealth. You could live a thousand times better. If you choose to return, your father will bestow everything upon you and Elvira in the future. We won’t play favoritism.”
Numbness overcame Rena.
All they desired was their own flesh and blood, while disregarding the pain Elvira had caused her. They didn’t want to recognize her; they simply wanted her to reconcile with Elvira.
Rena remained composed, her gaze steady.
Observing Rena, Zack couldn’t resist interjecting, a toothpick casually nestled between his lips, “Why the arrogance? How much money are we talking about here?”
Lyndon’s wife, displeased by Zack’s remark, scrutinized him and deduced that he might be an employee.
