\u201cIs that Jean?\u201d Lydia asked as she pointed to the person Truman was indicating.<\/p>\n
She knew Jean. Stella had introduced them when they were at Taylor Vogue that day.<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at Truman, her eyebrow raised, and immediately understood what was happening.<\/p>\n
It seemed like Lydia could no longer hold herself back, as she hurried toward Jean.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s over\u2026\u201d Truman and Leo both muttered at the same time, quickly following behind her.<\/p>\n
Jean, still unaware that Truman had dragged her into this, was happily chatting with Xenia.<\/p>\n
When Lydia approached, she stood in front of both Xenia and Jean, looking down at them. \u201cJean, do you remember me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Both women looked up at the sound of her voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe scheming lady\u2019s niece?\u201d Xenia, who had drunk a fair amount by now, was the first to speak up.<\/p>\n
Jean recognized Lydia. \u201cYou\u2019re Stella\u2019s niece, Lydia, right? You came to Ebb & Flow? What\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then, Truman and the others caught up.<\/p>\n
Truman stepped forward, blocking Jean\u2019s path. \u201cMs. Walton, what exactly do you think you\u2019re doing? This is my girlfriend. We\u2019re in love, so please stop. Don\u2019t keep pushing this. Let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean and Xenia both froze, especially Jean, who called out in confusion.<\/p>\n
She had no idea what was going on and looked toward Cherise, who had just walked over.<\/p>\n
Cherise shrugged with a smile, signaling that she had only just learned about the situation.<\/p>\n
While Lydia wasn\u2019t paying attention, Truman turned to Jean. \u201cJean, help me out. I\u2019ll make it up to you later, I promise. Please, I really need your help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean, still a bit lost in the weird scene, hesitated but finally nodded. \u201cOh, okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Jean\u2019s reaction, Truman quickly put his arm around her shoulders. \u201cMs. Walton, see. This is my girlfriend. Look how perfect we are together, right, Jean?\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman squeezed Jean\u2019s cheek after speaking.<\/p>\n
Jean, completely confused, felt like a piece of meat on a chopping block, helpless, but since she had agreed, she reluctantly said, \u201cYeah, Lydia, we\u2019re clearly a couple. Look. We\u2019re so well\u2013matched.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia, now clearly enjoying the drama, slapped her thigh. \u201cI just knew something was going on between you two! You\u2019ve been exchanging looks for a while. Turns out, it\u2019s been brewing for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m calling my grandparents right now. They\u2019ll be thrilled to hear that you two are getting together. So happy for you, Truman! You are so lucky to be able to marry the only daughter of the Jarrett family.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman and Jean, still standing close to each other, both twitched at the comment. Xenia seemed to believe it wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n
It was almost as if she had gone a little too far with the act, completely missing their true aim.<\/p>\n

Cherise, barely holding back her laughter, quietly sat on the sofa, picked up her phone, and texted Morris while wondering how they were going to get out of this mess.<\/p>\n
Lydia\u2019s expression remained calm, so calm that it was hard to tell what she was thinking.<\/p>\n
However, anyone who paid attention could see that her hands, which hung by her sides, were tightly clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of her hands were visible.<\/p>\n
Cherise, glancing at her clenched fists, took a sip of her juice before offering a small, knowing smile.<\/p>\n
After a few minutes of standing there in silence, Lydia finally spoke up. \u201cFine. I was rude. Sorry about that. I\u2019ll leave now. I wish you both happiness. Goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, Lydia turned and walked away. As she passed Cherise, she shot her a quick glance and didn\u2019t look back as she headed out of Ebb & Flow<\/p>\n
\u201cThank goodness, she\u2019s finally gone.\u201d Truman sighed in relief, letting go of Jean\u2019s shoulder and collapsing onto the sofa.<\/p>\n
Jean\u2019s face immediately turned blushed. It was her first time doing something like that, and her legs were shaking uncontrollably.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t bring herself to look directly at Truman and instead shuffled over to sit next to Cherise. \u201cCherise, pinch me. What just happened? I feel like I was in a play.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman, recovering from the situation, stood up and walked over to Jean. \u201cJean, I\u2019m really sorry. Whatever you want, I\u2019ll try my best to make it up to you.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just not used to being pursued so aggressively by a girl, and I\u2019m completely inexperienced. I didn\u2019t mean to drag you into this. Truly, I apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean waved him off. \u201cIt\u2019s fine, Mr. Simpson. No harm done.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Cherise wasn\u2019t so sure. She set her juice down on the table and spoke casually. \u201cLydia won\u2019t let this go so easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d The others exclaimed in unison.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you say that, Cherise?\u201d Xenia asked, looking puzzled.<\/p>\n
Cherise crossed her arms and leaned back leisurely on the sofa. From a psychological standpoint, someone who\u2019s truly willing to let go wouldn\u2019t have that kind of look in their eyes. Lydia\u2019s gaze just now had a lot of resentment in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the way she clenched her fists, the veins showing on her hands\u2026 those are subtle actions that show she hasn\u2019t truly let go. Not only that, but she\u2019s likely to take more aggressive actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cClearly, she has a strong sense of possessiveness and a harmful, vindictive personality. So, you all should be careful moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
