Rosa paused, but Gloria's face remained a mask of indifference, leaving Rosa unsure of her thoughts.
An unsettling sensation crept over Rosa, making her feel as though her innermost thoughts were laid bare before Gloria.
However, that feeling of anxiety didn't last long. Rosa soon reassured herself that even if her thoughts were apparent, it didn't matter. She was merely protecting her interests.
"I've looked into this online, and I was shocked to find how similar they look. But that doesn't mean Ned and Joe have any connection. I would like to ask you to talk to Ms. Sullivan. She has been pursuing my fiancé multiple times, and it's becoming quite distressing for me. Her actions infringe upon my rights.
"Ned and I are about to get married, and I really don't want Ms. Sullivan to interfere anymore. I understand your feelings about Joe's passing. It's indeed tragic. But just because two people look alike doesn't mean they are the same."
After speaking, Rosa studied Gloria, but the older woman remained stone-faced, revealing nothing. There was no sign of emotion, no clue as to what she was thinking.
It was similar to how Joe presented himself—enigmatic and unreadable. Just being silent gave him an air of mystery, as if he could see right through Rosa's thoughts and feelings.
In this tense atmosphere, Rosa felt as though she was merely talking to herself. She tried to restrain her urge to speak further but couldn't hold back.
"Please, Mrs. Martin Senior, consider how difficult this is for me. I need your help. I don't want Skylar to continue pursuing my fiancé.
"If this persists, I may have no choice but to report her for harassment. That would only make things worse for everyone, and I would hate for that to reflect poorly on you."
Having spoken so clearly, Rosa was sure Gloria understood her intentions. Yet, the silence that followed made her heart race.
It felt as if her thoughts were completely laid bare before Gloria.
Standing nearby, Veronica could no longer stay silent. She had seen enough of this kind of manipulative behavior on television and read about it in countless novels.
Veronica quickly spoke up. "Why do I get the feeling that you're saying you're not guilty but actually are? You know exactly who your fiancé is. You keep insisting Ned isn't Joe, but isn't that just because you know he is? Nobody goes out of their way like this without a reason.
"You're only here to convince Mrs. Martin Senior because you know the truth yourself. If you hadn't come, we might still have our doubts. But now, it seems there's no reason for that anymore."
Veronica didn't do much around the house. She spent her free time reading with Gloria and catching up on shows, so she knew a thing or two.
The "innocent" act from a wannabe manipulator wasn't going to fool her one bit. Gloria felt a twinge of amusement as she listened to Veronica. Her mood had soured initially after seeing Rosa, but now she couldn't help but chuckle.
Indeed, Rosa's visit was just to deliver the truth.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
