Blossom couldn’t care less, “You know, I’ve been working as a teacher, and there’s this kid in my class whose parents are in the middle of a nasty divorce. The mom’s always the one dropping off and showing up for school events. She even made it crystal clear that no one but her is allowed to pick up her little one.
Sc, naturally, we follow the parents‘ wishes. When the kid’s grandma came to pick him up, I had to turn her away and even gave the mom a call to let her know. Grandma did not take it well. She lost her temper and lashed out.”
“I saw the video online. It was chaotic, and she hit you.” Elysia said.
“Just a slap on the face. But my colleague pulled me away in a flash. No harm done, see?” Blossom continued, “If she hadn’t been a senior citizen, I would’ve given her a piece of my
mind.”
Elysia sighed, “Well, you haven’t changed a bit. If that were Winona, she wouldn’t care who it was. She’d probably break the woman’s arm just to calm down.”
Blossom laughed off the comment, “I didn’t want to lose my job over some old lady. Let’s not talk about this mess. It’s great that you’re back, though. Winona’s going to be thrilled when she hears about it. Just wish I knew when she’s coming back.”
“Where did Winona go?” Elysia asked.
“Her husband Zane mentioned she’s abroad, shooting a movie. It’s been over a year, and we can’t reach her all the time.”
“Can’t reach her?”
“Yeah, she’s on some top–secret project. Signed a non–disclosure agreement and can’t contact anyone outside the crew during the shoot.”
“Have you tried reaching out to her agent?”
“Same story. Agent’s under a non–disclosure agreement too. The whole crew is.”
Elysia was intrigued. What kind of play required such secrecy? She mused. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Didn’t Zane go with her?” she quipped.
Blossom shook her head, “Zane’s been busy managing Winona’s family company. He can’t just up and leave.”
Winona Newsom was the only child of the Newsom family, and her father Ridley Newsom was a well– known entrepreneur in Jindale City. With a solid family fortune behind her, Winona, a classic heiress with looks and talent to spare, had made quite a name for herself in showbiz, thanks to her perseverance and the backing of the entire Newsom Group. She was a household name and a top–tier celebrity within three years.

Cane, however, had a very different upbringing The quintessential self–made man grew up in a rural area, came from a poor family, and had many siblings to fend for. Meeting Winona in college was like a fairy tale they fell in love at first sight and got married right after graduation. Zane’s fortunes soared as he became the Newsom family’s son–in–law, a testament to the power of education to change one’s life,
“Has Zane been good to Winona over the years?” Elysia asked.
“Oh, the best. Zane’s known in Jindale City as the ideal husband and son–in–law. No one has a bad word to say about him. Unlike you, Winona really hit the jackpot. You skipped out on college to get married, and look how that turned out. Got yourself played by a scumbag.”
The details of Elysia’s forced marriage to Tarquin Bradford were unknown to Blossom and Winona. Due to the marriage being arranged under duress, Elysia was also coerced into – algning a non–disclosure agreement…
At the time, even the Thorne family had no clue that it was the Bradford family who had come knocking with a lot wedding gifts for Daphne Thorne’s hand in marriage. It was only after tying the knot that Elysia found out her husband was from the Bradford clan, named Tarquin.
