Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 97

Chapter 97 What It Means To Like Someone

Eileen used to be ruthless and willful, often leading the bullying of others. However, with the arrival of Elm, she gradually found herself isolated and oppressed, becoming the one

subjected to bullying.

Eileen acknowledged her wrongdoing. She couldn’t justify her past actions, nor could she find the words to explain.

Overall, this banquet was far from enjoyable.

Even if her connection with Yvette was only superficial, whether she leveraged her relationship to get close to Eric or played matchmaker for Yvette and Eric, using her departure from Eric and the Swan family to her advantage-none of it mattered.

Eileen still wanted to maintain this relationship.

As the sky darkened and the temperature dropped, her shawl was no longer sufficient to ward off the chill. Eileen had the Friedman family’s housekeeper fetch another bottle of safflower oil, which she used to massage her ankles. It took over half an hour for the swelling to finally subside.

At that moment, someone approached. “Miss, is this your phone?”

“Yes, it is. Could you please put it on the table for me? It’s rather inconvenient for me right

now.

The housekeeper noted, “Your phone has been ringing non-stop.”

“Got it.” Eileen’s dress lacked pockets, making it inconvenient to carry a phone. Typically, phones would be stored in the deposit box at the entrance when they arrived.

Eileen was curious about who would call her at this hour.

Wiping her hands, she picked up her phone just as the call came through again. She chose not to answer, allowing it to disconnect automatically.

More messages followed.
