“That Elaine is just an unwanted, unloved, bastard child, after all. There’s no way to chumpe het peties. You’ve seen how much trouble you’ve given the Kleind” Rasulie shouted. “I don’t care what you do. You must get Elaine to attend the Colemans‘ ball–tamn now!

The Klein family has given bet enough benetits all these years. It’s about time for her to repay us. We’re doing it for her own good. Sidory and Whitney are getting married soon. It’s hard to say what trouble a ticking time bound like Elaine will cause. She should be grateful that we’ve found her a great partner. She needs to stop lingering on the man who never belonged to her,”
Rosalie had made herself very clear.
Wendy felt a tug in her heartstrings. She wanted to tell Rosalie that Aurora was married. But recalling that Aurora told her not to say anything about it because of her own reasons, Wendy swallowed the words.
“Aurora has been working hard for herself all these years,” Wendy said. “Besides, it was because of her network and support that Vecchi could come out unscathed from all that trouble, even scoring some huge business deals-

Rosalie stopped and glared at Wendy. “You’d better consider my words carefully. Otherwise, you know what the Klein family’s rules are.”
She then stood up to answer the phone.
