The restaurant was lavishly decorated, and the entire private room held a subtle fragrance.

Upon seeing Jasmine, Lenora couldn't help but think about her own origins, feeling a heaviness inside Expressionless, she set down her bag, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite Jasmine.

Jasmine pointed at the spread of dishes across the table. "Our last meeting was too brief. This time, I've ordered a few dishes. Let's cat while we talk."

"No need. Let's just get to the point," Lenora said, leaning back in her chair, not wanting to spend more time talking with Jasmine.

She opened to a page where she'd already written the settlement agreement, tore it out, and was about to hand it to Jasmine.

Suddenly, a figure barged in. Startled, she froze for a moment. In that instant, her settlement agreement was snatched away and torn into pieces, then casually thrown into the trash. Lenora was dumbstruck, staring at the intruder.
