Hailey's face was dead serious.
Her ex-husband used to call her as stiff as a block of wood. And now Cedric was doing the same.
Was it because she hadn't been good enough in the past three years, or was it her destiny to be belittled by men?
"Cedric, don't talk about Hailey like that. She may be a bit older than you, but she's a woman after all."
Hertha, looking all poised and elegant, grabbed Cedric's arm tightly.
"You're Hertha, right? You seem quite mature. You must be no spring chicken yourself."
Hertha was taken aback by the personal attack from Hailey's friend. Her face turned red with anger.
She bit her lower lip and looked down, trying to play the vulnerable victim to win Cedric's sympathy.
But Liana didn't give her that chance. She pulled out a gold-embossed business card from her handbag and handed it to Hertha with a smile.
"I own a hospital. We've got a department for plastic surgery."
"If you have some free time, you could come by for a facelift or some Botox; it might make you look younger."
"We've only just met, but you could be a potential client. I could give you a 20% discount."
Hertha, just about to play the victim, was taken aback. She looked at Liana in disbelief.
She was obviously younger than them; it was clear as day. And she wanted her to get Botox and a facelift?
Hertha's cheeks were trembling with rage, but she gritted her teeth, glaring at the business card.
But when she saw the name of the hospital, she froze.
It was the most famous and luxurious private hospital in A City.
It was rumored to be so expensive that ordinary people wouldn't dare to register there.
She couldn't believe that this rude woman owned such an expensive hospital.
Hertha clenched her fists but didn't show it and didn't throw a fit there. Instead, she reached out and took the card.
"Well, thank you, Liana Terrill."
"Cedric, let's go."
Hertha said, taking Cedric's arm and resuming her gentle demeanor, looking at Hailey and Liana.
