Chapter 26

• Amidst the conversation, even their wives and sons were consumed by their own thoughts. Jane, who harbored feelings for Andrew, couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of jealousy towards Matilda. "If Sandra becomes the wife of the head of the richest family in City A, won't Matilda mock her?" The thought of that scenario was unbearable for Jane, and she was determined not to let it happen.

If it turns out to be true, we must find a way to separate that undeserving Sandra from Levy." Little did she know that even Levy himself might find it challenging to distance himself from Sandra if she had a genuine interest in him.
