Upon seeing Joyce, Thea could easily see through her carefully applied makeup to the exhaustion beneath.

Joyce, I already know that the person you're marrying is Max. You asked me to be your bridesmaid over the phone, yet the wedding is being thrown together so hastily. You're reluctant about this marriage, aren't you?" she asked.

Being exposed, Joyce felt as if she had a lump stuck in her throat, her usual strong demeanor faltering as her eyes reddened. She felt a swell of frustration but didn't know where to start.

With a choked-up voice, Joyce confessed everything. "Thea, I'm so sorry. You should leave while you still can."

Little did Joyce know, after what happened when they were eighteen, it was difficult for Thea to forge friendships. For Thea Joyce's sudden honesty was more of a relief than a burden.

I'm touched... "But what can your little recording do? I could easily explain that I didn't want my Max to become a pawn in a family marriage and that this was my last resort. Do you think they'd side with you?" Joyce was taken aback "You..." She had never encountered someone

Thea remained unfazed, responding calmly, "You really think you are somebody, right, Emmalie? If you don't have any other tricks up your sleeve, then step aside and stay where it's cool. Don't block the path."
