Roselynn shrugged and said in a natural manner, “I’m capable of
everything, but not lying.”
She was telling the truth, so there wouldn’t be any flaws in her speech.
However, Milani was still unconvinced. She even thought Roselynn was
deliberately saying that to test her sincerity toward Emmanuel. Hmph.
Petty tricks. My cousin, Ruby, has already given me various warnings.This
tactic isn’t going to scare me now. It has only been such a short period
since my blind date with Emmanuel, yet this dense man has already
gotten married? Impossible!
Mostimportantly, there were noweddingphotos hung in his house.Aside
fromEmmanuel’s mother and sister,there wasn’tathird woman there.
Milani figuredthatwas obviously a lie.

topic.“Let’seat. I want toletyouallassess mycookingskills.”
When bringing out the food, she even deliberately looked outside the yard
and saw a Maserati parked there.
Putting aside whether Emmanuel had indeed been promoted to the senior
management of Terence Group, Milani was determined to marry him just
for that luxury car.
Noticing Milani had braced herself this time and wasn’t as easily
dismissible as before, Roselynn could only watch helplessly.
She didn’t care much about Milani’s presence since there was someone to
take the burden of preparing the dinner off her shoulder. She was merely
worried about her brother. Hang in there, brother!
Duringdinner, Milani intentionally sat nexttoEmmanuel, causing him to

Although her cooking skills were mediocre, she had made her best dishes
for that night’s dinner to display her good qualities. The food can’t possibly
taste bad, right?
Emmanuel simply regarded her with a resigned look without elaborating.
Seeing that, Alessandra hastily flashed a courteous smile. “You’re a
wonderful woman, Ms. Zimmerman. The dishes you prepared are
delicious. It’s rare to find women who can cook these days.”
“Howare we rare? Aren’t Ione?”Roselynn immediately pouted in
displeasure.
Alessandra had to mind her manners, but Roselynn didn’t.
Emmanuel quickly supported hissister.“That’s right. Roselynn’s cooking
tastesbetter.”
Milani’smouth twitched as shetookinhowungraciousEmmanuel was.
Despite feeling verydispleased, she still maintained a polite smile. “In that
case, I should learn more from you in the future, Roselynn.”

“Why do you need to learn from me?” Roselynn snickered. “You’re not my

sister–in–law nor a part of my family. I have no obligation to teach you.”
Women tend to make things difficult for other women.
Roselynn’s remark infuriated Milani. The latter gritted her teeth in
annoyance while cursing Roselynn inwardly. What’s with her arrogant
attitude? Does she think she’s so great just because she can cook? Serves
her right for not being able to make her own living and get married!
“Roselynn, watch your language,” Alessandra hastily interjected and
smiled at Milani apologetically. “Milani, Roselynn is just straightforward
withher words. Don’t take it to heart.”
Alessandra’spolitenesswaswhat keptMilani’shopesalive.
Afterall,Rubyhad taught Milani toadoptthestrategyofcapturingthe
ringleaderfirsttorounduptheirfollowers. If she could winAlessandra’s
heart, she would be able to marryEmmanueland be a part of the Lowe
familysoon.
In the future, I’ll be the owner of that Maserati!
Milani suppressed her anger and grinned. “Mom, I won’t take it to heart!”
Pfft!
Emmanuel and Roselynn simultaneously spat out the food in their mouths.
“W–What did you just call my mom?” Emmanuel stared at Milani in
astonishment.
Alook of disdain also spreadacrossRoselynn’scountenance. Why doesa
woman as shameless as sheexists? Someone, please deal with this vixen!
