Chapter 417

Calvert got up to answer the door, while Vespera remained at the dining table, finishing her meal. She was convinced it had to be Nancy at the door. As footsteps approached, she continued eating at an unhurried pace, mentally preparing a lashing for Nancy.

The mere memory of falling for Nancy's manipulative stunt made her stomach churn. All the pent-up frustration felt like the aftermath of a drunken night. It was nothing but a foggy mess of regret and embarrassment.

The couple was looking at Vespera, studying her with an intense gaze. It was as if she were a sculpture on display, being silently appraised from every angle.

Vespera slowly set down her knife and fork. Standing up, she looked over at Calvert, who had returned to the table and resumed eating. She asked, "Who are they?"

"They're Mr. Reid's friends," answered Calvert.
