Chapitre 191: She Was Ready

"I'll be heading out a bit early," she murmured, feeling a flutter of excitement. Jane's smile widened, and Rain felt herself flush slightly before making her way toward the elevator.

As she walked, she could sense people noticing her, their whispers floating around her.

"Is she the one? The tycoon's wife?" 

The murmurs continued, faint but unmistakable. A subtle pride warmed her heart, bringing a small smile to her lips, but that momentary joy faltered when she caught a particular whisper inside the elevator.
