Chapter 4: Not A Chance In Hell

After Sephina hung up the call, Clara asked, "Is she coming, Mother?"

Sephina nodded. "Yes. Let's see who she has married."

"Grandma, I remember the name of her husband," Briena chimed in. "I searched for him, and there's no one special with that name. All are ordinary men. That means she didn't marry anyone significant but just a random man."

Entering the drawing room, Natalie saw her family waiting for her.
