“Madam Weiss…” Amalia quickly greeted when she spotted Cecil and Calen walking inside the room. “I–I didn’t know you would come.” If she’d had known, she would have immediately asked Izzy to leave!

“I have been busy. I forgot to call. I hope you don’t mind,” Cecil said.

“Of course,” Amalia replied, glancing at Monica, who immediately changed her expression when she saw Calen.

“I didn’t think you would have the guts to come.” Cecil took a step forward, her gaze locking onto Izzy. “You may think showing up here was a power move,” Cecil said, her voice calm. “But you owe this family more than an apology. What you did deserves consequences, and we will be pursuing legal action. Rest assured, Isabella, we will not settle for anything less than justice.”

Izzy chuckled softly, shaking her head as if Cecil’s words were little more than an amusing joke. “Justice? You mean you want a bigger payout, right? Well, go on then,” she said. “File your case. Drag your perfect son’s dirty laundry into the courtroom. I’ll be waiting.” She arched a brow, daring Cecil to press further. “I mean… a fickle man who can’t even manage his private life is something that many people would trust to handle a multimillion–dollar company, right?”

The tension in the room thickened as Cecil’s gaze sharpened, her lips pressing into a thin line. Izzy’s unrelenting confidence grated on her nerves. Did the girl truly believe she held all the cards? Cecil had made her own preparations.

The restaurant had no CCTV footage, and the waitstaff confirmed that no one nearby could have seen or overheard anything that happened that night. With no solid evidence to contradict Monica’s version of events, Cecil was convinced Izzy was bluffing.

Did Izzy really think Cecil wouldn’t have the guts to take this to court? Or perhaps she was relying on the threat of scandal- on the fact that a lawsuit would inevitably drag Calen’s infidelity and Monica’s betrayal into the media spotlight, tarnishing the Weiss family’s reputation. If that was her strategy, it was a bold one.

Cecil stepped forward, her voice low but laced with steel. “You’re playing with fire, Izzy,” she said, each word deliberate and heavy with warning. “You might be enjoying this little game now, but you won’t be laughing when the flames consume you.” “You’re all talk, Madam Weiss,” Izzy taunted. “I’ve been waiting for your lawyers. Do you want me to wait forever?”

never expected Izzy to actually have this kind of attitude towards Madam Weiss! What was she thinking!? “Wait,” Amalia interjected, stepping between them. Her smile was strained, held together by sheer willpower. “There’s no need for that, Izzy. Let’s not escalate things. We can handle this within the family. If you would just… apologize to Monica and compensate her appropriately, we can
