Everyone in the room was startled by Olina's loud entrance. Instinctively, they watched her stride in, marching up to the counter and pushing Avery aside.

Avery stood there, bouquet in hand, dumbfounded and unsure of what was happening.

"Cecilia, how dare you cozy up to another man!"

Olina accused, pointing at Cecilia, "Have you forgotten your place?"

"Mrs. Martinez, I've already divorced your son," Cecilia replied calmly.
