Nolan sighed and got to his feet. "Well, nothing else matters, making money is the priority. Torin, let's go! Later, we'll have the company's official account send a congratulatory tweet to Cherise, We should replace a gift for them too. "Til make sure it's something grand for their wedding. I am a man who can move on easily, no need to be stingy

Torin followed suit. In the apartment, Hannia was left alone. She stood up, hands on her hips, watching their retreating hacks. "Nolan seems like someone who can move on easily. Not bad."

At the neighboring residence of the Muller family in Hamolica, Rita had been living there. All major universities in Betrico were on holiday, and Yulia had packed her bags and returned early yesterday morning.

Yesterday, she seemed in good spirits, updating Rita about her recent situation and even playing a couple of chess games with Rayburn next door.

But Rayburn said her skills were lacking, so they stopped after two rounds. He suggested she practice more and mentioned a young friend of his who excelled at chess.

This morning. Yulia's mood wasn't too bad; being home on break was indeed more relaxing than being in Betrico. However, when news broke that Morris and Cherise had legally tied the knot, everything changed for her.

She felt dizzy as if the world was collapsing. It was almost evening now, and she hadn't eaten breakfast, lunch, or dinner. having locked herself in her room since morning.

Rita knew what happened but appeared unaffected. Perhaps years of experience had taught her not to show emotions openly. She ignored Yulia locking herself away. Nellie brought in a cup of milk and placed it before her.

Nellie said, "Mrs. Muller, Ms. Muller isn't opening her door again. What's going on? She was fine yesterday, laughing and talking. Why is she locked up today? She hasn't gone anywhere since coming back. No response when I knock. Is something wrong? Rita remained calm, gracefully lifting the lid of the cup "Don't bother knocking or bringing food. It's just young love issues. Once she sorts it out, she'll come out."

Nellie couldn't argue. She thought, If her own grandmother says so, what could I say? She picked up the cup and left.

Kita stirred the milk with a spoon, steam rising. Picking up the remote, she turned on the TV. The screen showed Morris's latest tweets, both identical.

She gazed at the picture of Morris and Cherise together, lips curling slightly. "This couple looks quite the match."

Inside the room, all the curtains were drawn, making it almost pitch black. Crouched at the foot of the bed was a figure. seemingly sobbing softly. It was Yulia.

That day at Azure Peak, in front of the Hawkins residence, hearing Cherise tell me not to debase myself was my lowest point. But seeing Morris I've secretly admired for years, Morris Ive always followed, get married. It's even worse.

'It feels like someone's choking me. And it's with the woman who told me not to debase myself. When did I start caring so much about what others think?

"But none of that matters now. The light I followed is gone, belonging to someone else. I can't hold onto hope anymore, Yulia thought.

The door rattled, not for the first time today. Yulia didn't want to open it or eat anything. She only wanted to stay curled up in this dark room, avoiding reality. Even her heart refused to accept that Morris and Cherise were now legally married, "Yulia, it's me" Came the voice from outside, not a servant but Kia. Yulia lifted her head, looking toward the door. Then she resumed hugging herself. Rita didn't seem in a hurry to leave.

After standing for a moment, she knocked again. "Yulia, nothing is beyond redemption. Locking yourself in won't solve anything. Open the door and talk to me."

Hearing this. Yulia froze. "Is it really not beyond redemption?" she asked, letting out a bitter laugh.

Rita stood by the door, gazing at the courtyard outside, her face unreadable. Until the sound of the door unlocking reached

her ears.
