In an instant, a chaotic mess of thoughts jammed up Vera’s mind, crashing into each other as she tried to make sense of it all.
She couldn’t untangle any of it.
Rita pressed the doorbell again, and when no one responded after a while, she spoke up. “Mr. Ramsey, we’ve brought the two full outfits you requested. Please open the door. If it’s inconvenient, we can wait outside.
What?
The person delivering clothes for her, Vera, was none other than Daphne, the queen of Violetcrest. herself?!
This had to be a hallucination.
Vera’s hands trembled with nervousness.
That haughty, alluring queen of Violetcrest–the woman idolized and pursued by every young elite in
Hanfield–had actually driven up to Dawnspire Heights Estates at four in the morning just because of
a single message from Robin… to deliver clothes for her, Vera?
No one would believe this if she told them!
She held her breath, trying to keep herself from freaking out completely.
Watching Daphne stand respectfully in front of the villa Vera could feel her heart pounding out of her
chest
Half a minute later, the villa’s Al system finally responded, “Items have been placed in the storage locker. You may leave.”
Daphne looked a bit disappointed at the automated reply but nodded to Rita to put the clothes in the locker.
She then activated the voice message recorder, her expression deeply respectful. “Mr. Ramsey, we won’t disturb you any further.”
With that, Daphne bowed slightly and, along with Rita, left the entrance of the villa.
Vera watched, completely stunned, as Daphne and Rita–two people known for their poise and high status
acted with utter humility and deference from beginning to end.
She couldn’t believe her eyes.
If Alice could see this, who knows what she’d think!
The woman Alice had idolized for five years, her untouchable queen, was standing here–like a servant at Robin’s command.
And Alice–and the entire Miller family–had thrown away the incredible fortune and opportunity that

had been right in front of them.
Vera let out a bitter laugh at the thought.
God really has a twisted sense of humor.

Right then, she could almost picture the look of regret and disbelief on Alice’s face, and on every Miller’s face, when they realized what they’d lost.
So many people judge and look down on others, not realizing that the real fools are often themselves.
Vera’s thoughts were spinning too wildly to focus on exploring the villa any longer.
She went to the storage locker to retrieve the clothes.
Daphne had thought of everything–there were clothes for every need, from underwear to outerwear, a coat, and even a set of pajamas,
Looking at the neatly packed outfits, Vera gave a little self–mocking smile.
She went straight to the bathroom, took a hot shower, and slipped into the pajamas before sinking the incredibly comfortable bed.
Despite being exhausted from the night’s chaos, she just couldn’t fall asleep.
She lay there, wide awake, until six in the morning.

Finally, unable to resist, she took out her phone and snapped a few photos of the bedroom she was in.
Outside the window, Dawnspire Mountain stretched into the distance, with a faint mist hanging Crescent Lake below.

The snow from recent storms still clung to the mountaintop, glistening white in the morning light.
Unable to sleep, Vera decided to have a little fun.
She took a bunch of photos of the stunning scenery outside the villa.
Alice should be awake by now, maybe I’ll send her a few pictures to mess with her, she thought.
Vera opened WhatsApp, picked a few shots, and sent them to Alice.
“Alice, guess where I am? You’ll never guess… Hahaha
After a while, Alice replied.
“Vera, messing with me first thing in the morning, huh?
“Do you think I can’t tell these are just pictures of Dawnspire Heights Estates you found online?
“That’s the life I’ve always dreamed of.
“My biggest dream in life is to be like Daphne–living in Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates, with a life fit for a queen.

“Imagine standing on Dawnspire Peak years from now, looking out over the beauty of Crescent Lake. That would be pure bliss..
“Only then could I say I was truly living!”
Vera sighed as she read Alice’s message.
Alice, the life you’ve spent your whole life dreaming of… you could have had it all when Robin walked up to you with that engagement.
But you were too blind to see it and tore that happiness to pieces.
“Alice, I’m telling you the truth–you probably won’t believe me, but I’m actually in Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates right now.
“And two hours ago, Daphne herself brought me the pajamas I’m wearing.”
Alice sent back a laughing emoji.
“You still haven’t woken up, have you? Crazy woman!”
“Alice, I’m serious! If you don’t believe me, let’s video call–I’ll show you I’m not lying”
With that, Vera jumped out of bed, opened the floor–to–ceiling window, and pointed her camera at herself with Dawnspire Peak and Crescent Lake in the background.
“Alice, do you see it? I’m live–streaming from inside Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates.
“Hang on, II
go down to the living room and the villa entrance to show you more.”
She opened the bedroom door and walked through the living room, all the way to the front of the villa.
The private swimming pool, four huge flower beds, and the scenic pavilion were all in view.
“See, Alice? This is part of Villa One at Dawnspire Heights Estates. I swear I’m not lying–I’m really inside
this villa.
“And here’s the biggest surprise of all, guess who owns Villa One?
“It’s Robin–your ex–fiancé
Alice responded with a series of laughing emojis.
“Vera, did you take the wrong meds this morning? Why are you so hyped, sending me all this nonsense?”
“What are you doing?”
At that moment, Robin walked out of the villa and saw Vera posing and making faces at her phone.
Vera froze, then quickly turned her camera toward him
Alice, do you see him? Who is this man?”
