Chapter 1556:

Rebecca’s smile was perfect, her eyes twinkling with kindness and authenticity.

Despite Rebecca’s pleasant approach, Elyse experienced an unsettling feeling. Rebecca’s presence always seemed to exert an invisible pressure, an overwhelming sensation that left her feeling cornered and exposed.

Elyse managed a faint smile and nodded dumbly.

Louise cleared her throat. “We’ve prepared a delightful meal for our guests. Let’s head there.”
