Chapter 58

Rhoda smiled when she saw Charlene. "Is that Charlene? Long time no see. You've become even more beautiful."

"Mom..." Hearing Rhoda compliment Charlene, Leah couldn't hide her displeasure. She had always known Charlene was stunningly beautiful but hadn't expected Charlene to become even more gorgeous after a few years.

Watching Charlene's perfect skin and remarkable aura, Leah felt a surge of jealousy.

However, she soon consoled herself with the thought, 'Charlene is pretty, but so what? The man destined to be my brother-in-law doesn't fancy Charlene. He only has eyes for Vesta.'

With this thought, she felt a bit more balanced.

Henley turned to Rhoda. "Rhoda, what brings you here?"

"Uncle Henley, we noticed you had been away for quite some time, so we thought we'd check in," Leah intervened. Then, noticing a jeweled box the shopkeeper had opened and looking at Charlene, she deliberately said, "Uncle Henley, is this the anniversary gift you customized for Aunt Maureen? It's gorgeous!" Henley smiled. "Yes, it is."
