The voice on the other end of the line was unmistakable. It was Ivy.

Her tone was steady, with a faint huskiness that made it unforgettable after just one listen.

Considering how her and Phoebe's plans had failed, it was only a matter of time before Ivy reached out.

His deep, pleasant voice carried through the phone. "Still at Carnegie Villa?"

"Yes... Yes, you go ahead and eat lunch without me. I'll be back a little later," said Ophelia.

"Don't humor him too much. He'll start pushing his luck." Kenneth's displeasure was evident. Chess games weren't enough

Ophelia chuckled lightly. "Alright... next time, come with me. He wouldn't dare overstep then."

'Sorry about that, Grandpa. I'm throwing you under the bus here, Ophelia wondered.

From a distance, she spotted a woman in an elegant dark red dress sitting by the window.

Her poise was impeccable, making it nearly impossible to guess her age from this angle.

The rooftop restaurant was exclusive to guests staying in the hotel suites, so it was practically empty.

Ophelia approached and took the seat across from Ivy.
