Mina stopped walking.

She turned to look at Evelyn.

Evelyn was gripping her wrist tightly.

Mina raised an eyebrow. "What? More threats? I'm telling you, I won't get involved in your business ever again—"

Before she could finish, Evelyn spoke softly. "Thank you."

Mina froze.

Her eyes widened. "What did you say?"

Grace was actually thanking her.

Her aggressive posture deflated. Her eyes lit up. "Thank me for what?"

Evelyn's voice was calm. "I know you meant well. Zack admitted it. He's seeing someone else. I misunderstood you before."

Mina snorted. "You realize that now? Where was this earlier? Grace, blocking me was your loss! Don't think a simple 'thank you' will make me forgive you—"

She stopped mid-sentence as Evelyn lowered her head.

Mina faltered.

Seeing Evelyn's dejected expression, her arrogance vanished. She fidgeted, unsure what to do. "Hey, don't be like that! That scumbag isn't worth your tears. Grace, get a divorce. You should have dumped him long ago!"

Evelyn nodded. "Okay."

"You agree? You really agree?"

Mina immediately forgot her previous words. She hurried back into the room. "I'll find a lawyer right now. He has to leave with nothing! Grace, don't be afraid. You were always too soft, and marriage made you even softer. That's why he controlled you. You need to be tougher from now on!"

She continued muttering. "Don't worry about the company or the house if you divorce. I have money. I'll take care of you! And little Chloe too. I'll take care of both of you—"

"Let me transfer you some money first. You couldn't even pay the property fee earlier. You must be broke, right? You're so silly. How could you let Zack manage the household money?"

Evelyn felt a warm glow inside.

How could Grace have blocked such a good friend? She was so foolish.

Mina took out her phone to transfer money, then realized they hadn't re-added each other on WhatsApp.

She glanced at Evelyn deliberately. "Aren't you going to add me back on WhatsApp? No money if you don't!"

Evelyn smiled. "No need for the transfer."

Mina panicked, thinking Grace's pride was hurt. She regretted teasing her. "I was joking. You—"

"But we can add each other back."

Mina was speechless.

They re-added each other on WhatsApp. The display name was Mina Sherwood, so Evelyn learned her name.

Mina finally smiled.

Evelyn guided her to talk about the past, gradually clarifying Grace's relationship with Mina.

They were elementary school classmates. They attended middle school, high school, and university together. They were childhood friends.

Mina complained. "We've been friends for over a decade, but it couldn't compare to your three years with Zack. You were completely bewitched these past three years. You lost yourself in that marriage. Grace, I told you when you got married—he was after your money. Do you believe me now?"

"Yes."

Evelyn narrowed her eyes.

Zack could wait. The key was... Mina had known Grace since childhood?

Such a long-time friend... Mina must know about Grace's adoptive parents!

She looked at Mina and asked directly. "Mina, do you remember our secret?"

Mina immediately frowned.

She nervously glanced around and lowered her voice. "Of course I remember! What's wrong? Are they bothering you again?"

They...

Evelyn's pupils contracted. "Mina, did I ever tell you who they are?"

Mina frowned. "Why are you acting so strange today? Don't you remember?"

"Of course I do."

Evelyn remained expressionless. "I just wanted to see if you still remembered my business after six months without contact."

"How could I forget!" Mina said anxiously. "I always keep your matters close to my heart!"

"Then tell me, who are they? What do they usually come to me for?"
