The doorbell rang again.

Feeling completely drained, Vespera forced herself to answer it.

There stood Helen and Benjamin, their faces lighting up as they saw her.

Vespera was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions.

"Vespera, you're home!" Helen exclaimed with a wide grin.

She had recently heard from Wanda that Vespera had divorced Luke and walked away with billions.

Vespera had no children, was stunningly beautiful, intelligent, and wealthy-so what if she'd been married before?

In today's world, living together without marriage was completely normal. It was practically the same as having a boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Benjamin remained unaware of Helen's thoughts.

He had always liked Vespera-despite the years that had passed, she had never quite left his mind. "Vespera, my mom said Mrs. Gildon's been feeling a little dizzy lately, so I came by to check on her."

"...Please, come in," Vespera replied, wearing a gracious smile.

But inside, she felt utterly depleted.

As Helen and Benjamin entered, their eyes immediately landed on a middle-aged man sitting in the living room.

"Wanda, you have a guest?"

"Good day," Theodore greeted them with a warm smile, rising to his feet.
