“Mom!” Winter, on the verge of tears, clung to Jade. “What do I do? Xavier still loves Noelle…”

Jade’s eyes were icy. She despised Noelle deeply too. “You’re overthinking it. You’re engaged toXavier. Why worry about Noelle?”

“But it’s just an engagement, not a marriage. You know how Xavier is…” Winter’s grip tightened infrustration. “I don’t care. He has to be mine!”

Even though she initially got close to Xavier to steal him from Noelle, she fell for him after spendingso much time together. She was so happy with Xavier, and if Noelle was not in the way, Xavierwould have surely fallen for her too.

“Mom, can you help me, please?” Winter put all her hope in Jade. ” Noelle isn’t with Xavier anymore,so why does she keep hanging on to him?”

Jade saw the photo on the ground, her face turning stormy and fierce. The face from her memoriesand Noelle’s face merged in her mind, and Jade clenched her teeth. “Winter, don’t worry. I won’t letyou go through what I did back then. That woman…” Without realizing it, Jade squeezed Winter’sarm so hard that Winter gasped in pain. “Mom? Mom!”

Jade snapped out of it, looking a bit embarrassed. Winter was confused. She hardly ever saw Jadelike this. “Mom, what were you talking about when you say, ‘back then‘? What woman?”

“It’s nothing!” Jade’s eyes darted away, and she gave Winter’s shoulder a reassuring pat. “I’ll takecare of this for you,” Jade said. “Winter, if you’re worried, why not just go ahead and marry Xavierright away?”

“Marry him?” Winter gasped, her eyes wide. “But I…” She wrung her hands, feeling stuck. “Mycareer’s been on pause, and after all my hard work to sign with Royal Star Entertainment, I’m justabout to start

bøttang married right now could

She trailed oft, Yws mind racing with doubts about Royal Star

Entertainment and Xavier.

Her mom gave her a knowing look. “Honey, those rumors that went around about you did affect yourreputation a bit. Think about it if you and Xavier tie the knot, you’ll be the talk of the town! You twolook great together, so there’s nothing to worry about. Plus, Royal Star

Entertainment will eat up the chance to spin your wedding into a media frenzy. They’d love that kindof buzz!

Winter chewed on her lip, a lightbulb going off. “You’re right, Mom!” She had been so wrapped up inher nerves that she missed the forest for the trees. “But what about Xavier?”

Jade’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “Even if Xavier’s got a soft spot for Noelle, what does it matter?You think they stand a chance?” She scoffed. “Leave it to me. I’ll handle everything. Just give methe go- ahead, and I’ll make sure your wedding is a dream come true.”

“Mom, I knew I could count on you,” Winter said with a relieved smile.

Jade was always quick to act, making sure her words turned into actions. She worried that if Xavierand Noelle got back together, all their hard work would be for nothing.

Without wasting a moment, Jade called Joseph’s wife, Emilia Lindsey. Emilia was the kind of momwho did not engage in business dealings but always kept a close eye on her son’s life. When Jadementioned she wanted to talk about their kids getting married, Emilia perked up.
