The atmosphere reeked of affluence, catering only to a privileged few.

As they waited for their orders to arrive, Sarah couldn't help but express her gratitude to Marlene for bringing

them to such a lavish establishment. She confessed that she had never imagined herself dining in a place like

this because of how expensive it was to be here.

Madison, her eyes wide with happiness, chimed in, echoing Sarah's sentiment. She admitted that she could

never afford such an extravagant experience on her own. She proceeded to share the story of how she had

mentioned their lunch plans to her husband and how he immediately suggested finding a mo

affordable restaurant.

But then, as soon as she mentioned that Marlene was sponsoring the occasion, he immediately chang

his mind and asked her to have fun.

On hearing Madison's story, the four women would burst into a loud laugh, with Marlene’s voice being

the loudest.

Marlene, her tone dripping with arrogance, responded to their laughter with a self-satisfied smirk. “Well, my

dears, you should be thankingfor more than just this decadent meal,” she declared.

She paused, relishing the moment as her friends leaned in, awaiting her next revelation. “Without me, you

wouldn't have access to the luxuries life has to offer, because, | mean, with your husband's paychecks, they can

hardly afford to buy you the cheapest designer bags,” Marlene proclaimed, her voice laced with a condescending

air.

Her words hung in the air, and the other three women exchanged knowing glances. They couldn't der

the truth of her statement because Marlene had always possessed a flair for the finer things in

life.

Marlene continued her verbal attack on their choices of partners, a smug smile playing on her lips. “I warned you

all not to rush into marriage with just any man,” she taunted, her voice dripping with

superiority. “But despite my warnings, you all bragged about your husbands, only to find out that

they couldn't even provide you with the most basic luxuries. How sad.”

Madison, Sarah, and Rein remained silent, their eyes cast down in a mix of anger and resignation. Marlene’s

pronouncements hit close to home, stirring a twinge of resentment deep in their hearts.

right, Marlene. We rushed into marriage, and now we see the consequences,” she admitted, her voice

filled with a tinge of regret.

friend. You married a wealthy man like Kayden Black, and now you're living like a queen.” Sarah's

words hung in the air, fueling Marlene’s sense of superiority.

“And let's not forget how smart you were to get nant at just the right time,” she added. “You've

secured your place in his life and increased your access to his wealth.”

Marlene’s smug expression widened into a triumphant grin as if their words affirmed her perceived

superiority.

She continued basking in her self-proclaimed superiority, boasting about her lavish lifestyle, and

subtly belittling her friends along the way.

Rein, who had been silently observing Marlene’s haughty demeanor, couldn't help but smile knowing!

With a calm expression, Rein leaned back in her chair and looked directly at Marlene. “You know, Marlene, you

truly made a quick and smart decision,” she said, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Marlene’s eyes narrowed, sensing that Rein was about to challenge her. “I have to admit, | never woul ve

Marlene’s actions did not go unnoticed.

“Well, Rein, if | ever have a daughter, I'll definitely raise her to be as smart as Marlene,” she interspersed with a

chuckle, attempting to lighten the atmosphere.

Madison, eager to join in on the peacekeeping efforts, added her own contribution to the diversion. “Speaking of

raising children, did any of you see that adorable video of a puppy trying to howl like a wolf?” she asked, her

voice filled with excitement, hoping to shift the attention away from the tension.
