Third Person’s POV
Luna Cassia said indifferently, “Why not go? I’ll have someone follow you to remind you of the rules . Don’t speak out of turn. Remember, the more you talk, the more likely you are to make mistakes. The less you say, the safer you are.”
“The Hutchinson family’s status is rising. Many noblewomen want to mate Eugene. If Eugene hadn’t specified that he prefers someone older, you wouldn’t have this chance. You must seize it.”
Asa took the invitation and said with a bitter smile, “Chance? You know my goal. I’m not here to enjoy a good life.”
Luna Cassia replied, “How is it not an opportunity? You’re supposed to be his real mate; you just have to make him useful for Madison.”
Asa said bitterly, “But Madison also said that if we can’t win him over, we should kill him.”
Luna Cassia said, “With your intelligence, you can persuade him. Always think positively and don’t focus on the worst–case scenarios. If he can be used by Madison, you’ll enjoy wealth and honor in the future, won’t you?”
She patted Asa’s shoulder and said, “It’s settled. Tomorrow, I’ll have you dressed up nicely. Remember your identity at all times.”
After speaking, Luna Cassia got up, wiped her hands with a tissue, and threw it to an omega, Aurora, with disgust. “Follow her tomorrow and keep a close eye on her to ensure she doesn’t make any mistakes.
Aurora replied, “Yes, Luna Cassia.”
The Sunbrew Café is one of the tallest buildings in the capital.
From its top floor, you can overlook the northern port and most of the capital’s scenic views.
However, booking a private room on the top floor of Sunbrew Café isn’t cheap. A regular American coffee costs $100.
If you order a meal, it’s common to spend over a thousand dollars. For a fine dining experience, you might even spend over ten thousand dollars.
As for who owned Sunbrew Café, few people knew.
They only knew that the patrons here were either wealthy or nobility, and the café made a fortune daily.
Those in the know wouldn’t disclose such information.
Paisley and Genevieve arrived first. Paisley, known for her people–skills, called Genevieve “Jeanie” affectionately, and Genevieve took a liking to her.
When they arrived at Sunbrew Cafe, Asa hadn’t arrived yet.
Paisley explored the café and was impressed by its grandeur. “One day, I’ll host a banquet here and treat

everyone to a meal.
Genevieve laughed, “That must cost a fortune. It would be more economical to have the banquet at home. Who doesn’t know my skills in organizing events? Are you not giving me a chance to showcase iny abilities?”
Paisley smiled, “That would be great. I was just worried about tiring you out and facing Abbot’s criticism .
“Him,” Genevieve’s smile faded, “I can hardly remember what he looks like. I wonder when he’ll return to the capital. The war has been over for quite some time.”
Paisley comforted her, “We can’t let our guard down yet. Things are still chaotic there, and it’s impossible to have no troops stationed. With Abbot’s seniority and recent promotion, he’ll likely return to the capital
soon.”
“Poor man,” Genevieve sighed, “If it weren’t for my large family, I’d take my children and join him.
Paisley pulled her into the private room and said, “No need. Once things settle there, he’ll be back.”
As they spoke, a waiter led Asa and an
omeg
Since Genevieve’s omega was outside, Asa’s omega, Aurora, also sat at a small table outside, drinking coffee -the private room fee included this.
However, the door was open, so everything inside, including the conversations , could be seen and heard from outside.
Asa was dressed in a cream–colored stand–up collar blouse paired with a white embroidered pleated skirt. Small pearls adorned her ears, and her green hairpin featured a teardrop–shaped decoration. She appeared elegant and gentle.
She slightly bowed and said, “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hutchinson, Miss Stephens.”
The two women rose to return the greeting. “Please have a seat.”
“Sure.”
Genevieve smiled. “We’re all friends here–no need for formality. Please , sit.
Paisley plopped down first, and the others followed suit.
A waiter stood by, served the coffee, and made a “please enjoy” gesture before stepping back.
Paisley said, “You may leave. We just want to chat.”
“Okay, I’ll be outside. Just holler if you need anything,” the waiter said.
“Bring some pastries–about eight to ten varieties, and make them exquisite,” Paisley added.
From Caldwell’s description of his sister, Paisley knew that Poly liked sweets, though adult tastes might change.
The waiter nodded and left. Paisley glanced at Asa, who sat nearby, and took out the rabbit doll that Caldwell had given her. She placed it on the table and began toying with it.

So , what do you like to do in your free time? ” she asked.
Asa’s gaze briefly fell on the rabbit doll before shifting away.
“I don’t have any particular hobbies, just some craft weaving,” she replied with a smile.
“ Your craftsmanship must be impressive,” Paisley said, stroking the doll’s broken car , where the torn part had been smoothed over.
