This here was Ste.


    Ever since she left the Quinn family, she''d been living a life like this. If someone hit her, she''d hit right back; if she was insulted, she''d definitely give a piece of her mind. Taking a loss?


    That was not in her vocabry. She was not one to be walked over.


    Sirena sneered, "Huh, I''m the idiot? What are you even? No wonder Yorick ditched you. With your flirtatious ways, he''d be crazy to keep you."


    Ste shot back, "Are you blind? I was the one who dumped him."


    Dealing with someone like Sirena was beneath Ste. Her close ties with Urs were no secret, and Ste knew her prejudice was fueled by Urs''s influence.


    Sirena taunted, "Oh, you dumped him? Or did you just set your sights on a bigger, better deal? Mark my words, Ste, you''re going to regret it."


    Ste was all set to unleash a torrent of choice words when Sirena mercilessly continued, "Oh, haven''t you heard? For Urs, Yorick''s ready to drop tens of millions to secure the Wave Residence at Mist Bay. Ever heard of that ce?" Ste didn''t reply, puzzled as she nced around her room.


    Sirena went on, "Someone like you, a bumpkin, won''t know what kind of ce Wave Residence is. Let me put it inly - it''s the oceanfront mansion with the best location in all of Portis City. The grounds are bigger than any park you''ve ever visited. Two years as his fiancée, and what have you got to show for it? Now, even if you wanted to, it''s toote for regrets.''


    Probably because of getting disciplined by Jeremy, Sirena was spouting her frustration on the phone.


    Ste smirked, "Wave Residence, huh? You sure Yorick''s clinched the deal for Urs?"


    "It''s in the bag. Just wait, you won''t even get a chance in your life."


    Ste retorted, "Let''s see if he actually gets it. Then you cane gloat for Urs all you want."


    What an utter fool! Sirena''s obsession with pleasing Urs surely had to be for Jaxon''s sake.


    Too bad, Sirena didn''t know Jaxon''s true colors. Merely a jerk he was, and she considered him as a treasure. Despite his bachelor status, Jaxon already had a two-year-old child by another woman!


    Ste ended the call directly. Time spent on Sirena was just a waste.


    No sooner had she hung up than a call from Susanna came through.


    Ste answered, "Hey, Susie."


    "I just heard about Yorick going all out for the Wave Residence for Urs. He''s tearing Mist Bay apart looking for the owner. Has he lost his mind?"


    Ste was speechless.


    Susanna continued, "Doesn''t the Quarry family have any say in this?"


    She''d had it enough with Urs''s antics. And now this dramatic move only disgusted her even more. A mere foster kid of the Larkins not just attempted to snatch a position of being a biological daughter, but also was greedy for everything. Ste knew Susanna''s disdain for Urs all too well, chuckling, "Don''t worry, whether the Quarry family steps in or not, Yorick''s not getting Wave Residence."


    "Huh? How can you know that?"


    "He''s been after Mist Bay for years. If it were possible, he''d have bought it by now. The news you heard probably is Urs''s strategy to pressure Yorick." "That''s downright vile."


    Ste smirked, "Sadly for them, Yorick is oblivious. He''ll end up the joke of the town, and so will Urs."
