Lilly looked puzzled. “Take a look? Take a look at what?”
David and Ella both stood up. Ella’s smile was sly. “Just come with us, Lilly. You’ll see.”
David reached for Ella’s hand and led her out of the room. Lilly rushed after them, calling, “Wait for me!”
…
Jessa sped through traffic to Briarwood Estate. This was where Louise lived now.
After leaving the Wade family house, Louise had moved in here. Briarwood Estate was a gift from Moss. The place was famous for its luxury, with mansions lined up on every street and prices high enough to make anyone dizzy.
Jessa slammed the doorbell, pressing it over and over. She was too anxious to care about manners.
A maid hurried to open the door. “Alright, alright, I’m coming. Who’s in such a… Ms. Wade!”
The maid recognized her at once and straightened up, looking nervous.
Jessa didn’t wait for pleasantries. She stepped inside. “Where’s Louise?”
She headed toward the living room, but Louise wasn’t there. “Where is she? Upstairs? I’m going to check.”
The maid quickly blocked her path. “Ms. Wade, she is upstairs, taking a milk bath. She said she didn’t want anyone to disturb her, so… so…”
Jessa’s eyes narrowed. “So what? I’m not allowed up?”
The maid dropped her gaze, silent.
Jessa felt her frustration boiling over. Everything was already a mess, and Louise was here living her best life, soaking in fancy baths.
Moss really did spoil Louise. She got whatever she wanted. Even after leaving the Wade mansion, she landed in this villa with maids waiting on her all day. She was living in pure comfort.
The maid hovered nervously at the door. “Madam, I’m sorry… Ms. Wade said she needed to see you, I couldn’t stop her.”
Jessa stepped into the room. “Louise, I have something to talk to you about.”
Louise threw a robe over her shoulders and faced her. “Jessa, I’m in the middle of my beauty routine. Don’t barge in again. This is your last warning.”
Jessa just laughed to herself. Louise was doing all this for Moss, but Jessa was about to lose David, and no one seemed to care.
She walked closer. “Louise, is your Heart Connect thing even working?”
Louise paused. “What are you talking about?”
Jessa pressed on. “I mean, is it broken? You said once David was affected by Heart Connect, he wouldn’t go near Ella anymore. But today, he was with her again. He hasn’t come back to me at all. Your Heart Connect didn’t work on David!”
