Effie felt as if her world had just shattered. Her own boyfriend declaring another relationship?

Flora's eyes gleamed with a self-satisfied expression as they met Effie's gaze. A profound sense of contentment enveloped her.

Effie, who was always arrogant, now found that the person she Liked harbored no reciprocal feelings; it was only a self-centered love.

One could only imagine the turmoil bubbling within her. At the thought of it, Flora laughed inwardly.

Winston's eyes reflected a touch of sympathy but predominantly, an air of complacency.

He couldn't do anything about it; his charisma was irresistible. He had succeeded in captivating someone of Effie's allure, a Luminary in the entertainment realm, making her utterly devoted. Witnessing her distress did stir a modicum of remorse within him though.

“Winston Hammond! Have you lost your mind? How dare you deceive me?"

Effie's vehement accusation was accompanied by a forceful kick that sent Winston hurtling.

The sudden twist of events left onlookers in stunned silence.

Yet, Effie was far from finished. She approached and delivered two resounding slaps to Winston.

Recollections of Lilah's caution echoed in her mind, "Keep an eye on Winston and Flora."

She hadn't believed it at the time. In retrospect, she felt foolish.

"Effie!"

Flora shook off her stupor, attempting to intervene, but Effie's resilience surprised her. Flora's attempts to restrain Effie resulted in two stinging slaps before she wisely retreated.

Spectators were astounded by Effie's unexpected ferocity. Was this truly a renowned female celebrity?

Winston's visage swelled rapidly, mirroring a disgruntled pig's head.

Although seething with rage, he couldn't even utter a word.

Having vented her pent-up frustration, Effie stood tall, pointed at Winston, and declared, "Winston Hammond, heed my words. It's me, Effie, who dumped you, you contemptible wretch!"

With that proclamation, she turned and gracefully walked away.

A hush enveloped the surroundings.

Well... For some reason, the onlookers felt that Effie was quite cool in that moment.

Unbeknownst to the crowd, her composure crumpled the instant she left the scene.

During a romantic candlelit dinner with Gerard, Lilah was disrupted by a call from Effie.

Lilah cast a complex gaze at Gerard and uttered, "Gerard, someone might be joining us later."
