Chapter 288 Embraced By Fate

• Judith Rivers spotted Talia Carey and her eyes sparkled with joy: "I had a feeling you would come, but I didn't get a chance to confirm. Cassius Meyer's mother sent someone to invite me out of the blue. She had everything prepared, claiming that Cassius and I are friends and should enjoy the event together."
• Talia Carey couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. Was Henriette Bates purposely bringing Judith Rivers to witness Cassius Meyer discussing marriage with another woman? Judith Rivers seemed completely unaware, so what was the real motive behind Henriette Bates' actions? Was she taking it too far?
• Noticing Judith's puzzled expression, Talia Carey asked, "What's wrong, Jud? Did you not want to come? I was also taken aback when his mother's messenger arrived to fetch me. It was hard to decline such kindness."
