Ste had never left a good impression on Beatrice, and she disapproved of their rtionship. At this moment, it became clear that the discord between Melody and Lucas was due to Ste''s meddling. Melody was jealous.


    "Let''s do this, Edmund," said Beatrice after a moment of silence,ing up with a solution. "Go find Ste and tell her that I, as a senior, want to treat her to a meal. See when she''s avable to grace me with her presence."


    The implication was clear-Beatrice intended to personally handle the matter with Ste. Edmund silently mourned Ste in his heart for a few seconds. "Yes, Madam, I''ll go right away."


    Leaving the Riveras'' residence, Edmund drove to Ste''s filming location and located her agent. Just as Ste finished her scene, upon hearing that Edmund hade, she felt particrly delighted. ''Lucas must be worried about my health, and he sent Edmund to check on me.''


    "I need to quickly touch up my makeup." Ste changed her clothes at the fastest speed possible and went to find Edmund with a beaming smile. "Where''s Lucas? Didn''t hee?"


    "Mister Lucas didn''te, Miss Ste. Today, it''s Madam Beatrice who specifically asked me to find you," Edmund replied.


    As soon as Ste heard Beatrice''s name, the smile on her face instantly vanished, reced by surprise and wariness. "Madam Beatrice? Why would she want you to find me?"This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "The Madam wishes to have a meal with you. She just doesn''t know when you''ll be avable, so she sent me to inquire," Edmund conveyed Beatrice''s intention urately. Upon hearing that Beatrice wanted to have a meal with her, Ste became even more astonished. From a long time ago, Ste had known that Beatrice did not like her.


    Over the years, she always felt that if it were not for the presence of Beatrice, she would be the next in line as the Rivera family''s missus. Certainly, it would not be that mysterious Melody who seemingly popped up from nowhere.


    "Miss Ste, why so silent? Don''t you want to join the Madam for dinner?" Edmund observed Ste''s prolonged silence before speaking again, "The Madam rarely dines with outsiders. Once she invites someone, declining will upset her."


    With these words, Edmund made it clear to Ste that Beatrice specifically requested her presence at the meal. Whether she liked it or not, she had to attend.


    In reality, Ste would not have genuinely refused. Even if she did not like Beatrice, she was still Lucas''s grandmother. Ste could not afford to offend the elders of Lucas.


    "Stop joking, Edmund. It''s an honor to have a meal with Madam Beatrice! I''m delighted. I''m just curious about why she decided to invite me to dinner." Ste smiled, probing for information. Edmund knew the reason Beatrice invited her to dinner, but he certainly would not reveal it directly. "Miss Ste, I''m not sure about that. Why don''t you ask the Madam herself during dinner?" Aware that Edmund closely followed Lucas, Ste understood that his lips were sealed on certain matters. Some things, no matter who asked, would remain undisclosed.


    "Alright. Regardless, Madam Beatrice is an elder. I can''t let her invite me to dinner. How about this? I have time tomorrow evening, and I''ll invite Madam Beatrice for dinner," Ste suggested. Edmund nodded. "Alright, I''ll take note of that. However, I can''t make decisions for the Madam. I can only convey your invitation. Once she decides, I''ll call you again."


    Leaving the film set, Edmund returned to the Rivera residence and conveyed Ste''s words to Beatrice.
