That night the Foster Family gathered at a restaurant for dinner, celebrating the birthday of the late Albert Foster. Everyone had come together, including Avians who were now part of their family.
However, at that moment Sarah, the mother. Came with a beautiful blonde woman in an elegant red dress. She looked so enchanting, even to those who looked at her.
"Everyone gathered? Good, I hope we're not late," Sarah said.
"Mom... She..." Elena was somewhat surprised to see the woman her mother had brought.
"Hello Elena, long time no see. Are you fine?" the woman asked kindly.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine."
The woman smiled then looked at Adrian and the Avians.
"Why did you bring her, ma'am? She's not part of the Foster Family.
"But she was once a part of us, wasn't she?"
'Being... Part of the Foster Family? Who is she, Ian's distant cousin?' asked Avians silently.
Noticing Avians' confused look at her, the woman finally introduced herself.
"Hello, my name is Amber Johanson. I'm Adrian's ex-fiancée," she said.
"Ex... Fiancé?" asked Avians confused.
She didn't know that Adrian had been engaged before. So what made the two of them break up?
"I already consider Amber as my daughter, that's why I invited her to join us for dinner," explained Sarah.
At this stage, Avians could see that her husband was not very fond of Amber's presence with them.
"Long time no see since that day, Adrian. You finally got married to another woman after breaking off our engagement, congratulations..." Amber said engaging Adrian in conversation.
"Yes, and the best decision I ever made in my life," Adrian replied.
"Adrian, why did you say that to Amber? Don't you know you've hurt her feelings?" said Sarah defending him.
"It's okay, mom. I'm fine, I know Adrian doesn't seem to like me being here. I'd better go home."
Amber stood up from her chair and intended to leave, Sarah stopped her from leaving and forced Adrian to apologize to Amber. However, of course Adrian didn't want to do it.
Elena herself felt strange, when she heard Amber call her mother and Adrian as mother too. Even though she is not Sarah's daughter-in-law.
After some coaxing, Amber finally sat back in her chair, making Elena roll her eyes.
'What an attention seeker,' she thought irritably.
They chatted while waiting for their food to arrive. Amber told Elena about her activities after canceling her engagement with Adrian. She studied abroad, got into a famous university and now she was developing her beauty salon business.
"During my time abroad, I learned very well to be the perfect companion. Now I understand a lot of things that I didn't understand before," Amber explained.
Avians who heard her felt that Amber was the perfect woman. She was beautiful, smart, confident and charismatic. But why would Adrian call off his engagement to such a perfect woman as Amber?
"What about you? I've never heard of your life before. What faculty did you take when you went to university?" the blonde woman asked the Avians.
"Huh? Ahh... I... Didn't go to university," Avians replied.
"Why not? Then what have you been doing all this time? Don't waste your youth just being lazy."
Amber also said how important it was to go to university, indirectly bragging about taking a Master's Degree abroad.
Elena, who had been silent because she was lazy to respond to Amber's words, looked at her sister-in-law who looked insulted by everything Amber said, coupled with Adrian who was trying to hold back his emotions.
Not wanting the family dinner to be ruined, she finally intervened and opened her mouth.
"It's interesting to have a Master's Degree from such a famous university. But why do it if it's just for show. It's only a Master's Degree, I've also finished it a year earlier," Elena said to shut Amber up.
"I think Avians is perfect, she can learn quickly. Just look at her make up, she already looks beautiful and enough to dazzle her beloved husband," she continued.
"Elana..." Avians smiled at Elena's words and glanced at Adrian who was sitting next to her.
Adrian took his wife's hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Elena is right, you are very beautiful. You are even beautiful without makeup every morning when I wake up and see your face in the morning," Adrian said.
Seeing Adrian and Avians' intimacy, Amber felt annoyed and jealous. Why would Adrian prefer an uneducated woman like Avians over her.
She still couldn't accept the cancellation of their engagement a year ago. Amber really liked Adrian, they were indeed engaged at the wish of Sarah and her mother.
However, Adrian suddenly canceled it and always refused to meet her. She can't accept that. And when Sarah called her back to ask Adrian to turn his back on Avians, Amber agreed and went straight to the dinner.
'Already arrogant, attention-seeking. No wonder no one can stand her. Only men who share her traits would want to be with her,' Elena thought.
After a few minutes of waiting, their food finally arrived.
They enjoyed their dinner in silence, which made Adrian feel more relieved to finally not hear Amber's ramblings.
While eating, Avians felt like going to the toilet. She asked permission to go to the bathroom in the restaurant.
"Do you want me to accompany you there?" Elena asked offering herself.
"No need, I can manage on my own. Just continue with your dinner." Avians turned around and went to the bathroom.
Just as Avians left, Amber also said she wanted to go to the bathroom. She finally stood up and went to the bathroom after Avians.
As soon as Avians came out of the bathroom, Amber intercepted her coming out and looked at the woman while folding her hands in front of her chest.
"I wonder why Adrian chose a woman like you when it's obvious that I'm far superior to you. Just look..."
The woman's hands were pointing up and down at the billionaire's wife, as if she had made a bad decision by wearing clothes that didn't suit her and a hairstyle that looked old. Avians was made to look like a clown.
"Just admit that you don't deserve to be with Adrian who should be married to me, not you. I just want to emphasize one thing and I want you to hear it well!"
Amber leaned closer to Avians ear, making the boy very nervous about what Amber was going to whisper to him.
"Adrian will soon become mine and your position as his wife will be replaced by me. Sooner or later it will happen."
