When Hua Jing was still in her youth, she had fallen in love with a man, Alexander Sterling. He had captured her heart and right at the bottom, she had written all sorts of sweet nothings hoping that one day he would dig deep and find them but then one day all of her dreams of being with him were shattered after he announced that he was going to marry her elder sister, Carmen Richards. She gave up on this love and when she turned twenty, right after the wedding, she asked her parents to send her abroad to further her studies but this was only a pretext.

Alexander scoffed, his expression one of disbelief as he turned to face Gianna. There was an icy coldness in his eyes that made it clear he wasn't buying into her theatrics. But before he could respond, a soft yet commanding voice cut through the tension like a knife.

Millicent Richards stepped forward, her tone eerily calm. Her presence was formidable, and despite her composed demeanor, there was a steely edge to her words. Violet and Roman stood silently beside her, their eyes fixed on Gianna with an intensity that spoke volumes. There was nothing friendly about the way they were looking at her. The Sterlings were a powerful family, and it was clear that they were rallying behind Cindy, ready to protect their own.
