Yolanda went upstairs and hopped online to dig up info. Using some old contacts, she found a perfect role for Ian. Coincidentally, it was in a TV show directed by Charles’s aunt, Simone Sinclair.

Simone was a big–time director. The entertainment companies under the Sinclair Group were actually all her doing. Charles had zero interest in that side of the business.

And Simone was crazy talented. She cranked out one hit project a year, and she was famous all over the country by now.

Her TV show this year was in pre–production, and they were casting the male lead. If Ian nabbed that part, it could really boost his profile.

Yolanda stared at the name “Simone.” She’d never talked to this aunt–in–law. Simone’s almost always overseas shooting, hardly ever home.

‘I have to get Ian this role,‘ Yolanda thought. She stretched, and only then did she realize she’d been glued to the documents for over four hours.

When she stood up to move, she noticed a maid lingering by the door.

“Mrs. Sinclair, the Sinclair manor called. They want you over for dinner tonight—it’s Ms. Simone Sinclair’s birthday,” the maid said.

Yolanda quickly grabbed clothes to change. “Has Charles come back yet?”

The maid looked away. “He said you should head over first. Meet him at the Sinclair manor.”

Yolanda got it. Sophie had made a total fool of herself that afternoon. Chances were, Charles was busy coddling her right now.

A bitter laugh flashed in Yolanda’s eyes. She finished getting dressed and grabbed the emerald necklace Charles had given her for their first anniversary. It was worth over three million dollars, and she’d use it as a birthday gift.

The rich wives in their crowd were obsessed with emerald, That hint of green screamed luxury–whoever got a nice piece would flaunt it everywhere.
