Chapter 438
Violet caught the hidden meaning in lleana's words, "Ileana, you're the diamond finder of my life. Without you, |
would've never met Nanson! You can bet, no matter what happens, you're my sister through and through. When
I hit the jackpot, you won't be left sipping soup
while | feast!"
Her words were heartfelt, devoid of any deceit. After all, Violet and Ileana were in this together, thick as thieves.
If Violet decided to enjoy the spoils alone, Ileana would certainly turn her back, and that would be a loss Violet
couldn't afford. So, she was determined to share the wealth and glory with Ileana.
Hearing this, Ileana felt a bit better, "We cfrom the sroots, grew up together. If | didn't trust you, |
wouldn't have sought you out in the first place."
With Illeana having reached out to Violet, she was prepared. She had enough dirt on Violet to ruin her in front of
Nanson if needed. So, she wasn't worried about any betrayal.
Violet, smiling, linked her arm with lleana's, "I bet you haven't eaten yet, right? Con, lettreat you to
dinner! Oh, and by the way, I'm not Jenny anymore, you've got to callViVi from now on." Jenny, indeed. That
was just so passé.

"es."
"And you mentioned Nanson's conservative because of his sister's influence. What's her deal?"
Knowledge is power, and Violet needed all the intel she could get.
Ileana explained, "His sister's a single mom."
Hearing that, Violet frowned in disgust, "And she's got a kid in tow?"
"Yep."
Violet sighed, "I can't stand the thought of living with outsiders after marriage! Nanson's loaded, why can't he
just give his sister scash to keep her at bay? Why does he have to drag her and that kid along?" Once she
married Nanson, his wealth would bechers. Why should she spend it on strangers?
Wasn't it better spent on Louis Vuitton and Gucci?
And the last thing she wanted was a life under someone else's scrutiny.
So, Carole had to go!
Ileana, looking seriously at Violet, corrected herself, "ViVi, as | told you, Nanson deeply respects his sister and
adores his niece. If you want to marry him, you've got to win Carole over. Otherwise, no matter how much
Nanson likes you, he won't marry you." Accepting Nanson meant accepting Carole too.
From lleana's three-year experience with Nanson, he often said, "An etder sister is like a mother." Though
Carole wasn't the eldest, she held a place in Nanson's heart more
significant than that.
Violet narrowed her eyes, "Don't worry, Illeana. Even if | were foolish, I'd know better than to cross Carole now.
Winning her over? That's my specialty!"
She knew she had to play her cards
right, at least for now. Once everything was set in stone, it would be a different story. After all, even the
strongest relationships could be sabotaged by a whisper in the right ear.

Ileana, aware of Violet's cunning, gave her a few words of advice and left it at that.
The next morning dawned on Cloudcrest Island.
At 6 a.m., driven by her internal clock, Anthea awoke promptly.
Her first act of the day was to pull back the curtains and open the window, letting in the refreshing sea breeze
that instantly cleared away any remnants of sleep. Overlooking the stunning view, a verse cto mind: "I have
a house, facing the sea, with flowers in bloom cspring." No wonder everyone yearned for such beauty. After
lingering by the window, Anthea got ready for a morning run, changing into her sportswear. Her dark, lustrous
hair was tied up, exposing her graceful, swan-like neck. Earbuds in and a serene expression on her face, Anthea
descended the stairs, only to find Sherman lounging in the living room, engrossed in the newspaper.
