Chloe whispered, "My sister used to have terrible skin. Working late nights left her in a poor mental state, haggard, irritable, and hysterical. They said it was due to hormonal imbalance."

That's typical for a workaholic. Nowadays, her only real form of relaxation and entertainment seems to be sleeping with Luis.

"And then??"

"My sister's skin is incredibly good now, better than mine, even. Her face has a rosy glow, she's full of energy, and she looks radiant all over. Plus, her period, which had stopped for a while, has started again…"

Chloe said with a serious expression, "It goes without saying, she must have a man. That's the only explanation."

"Isn't your brother-in-law a man?"

Luis pretended not to understand, subtly steering the conversation.

"Don't play dumb. I'm not talking about my brother-in-law. He's a workaholic too, and he's ten years older than my sister."

Chloe really did treat Luis as her own man now, gossiping without reservation about her own brother-in-law:

"My brother-in-law is just impatient. My sister said doing it with him is really uncomfortable. He doesn't last long, he's rough, has no sense of romance, just finishes and falls asleep like a breeding donkey."

"Not long after Daniel was born, they started sleeping separately. They haven't had sex all these years, and my brother-in-law injured his back too, so he probably can't perform anyway."

"Mainly, he was entangled with female colleagues when he was younger. My sister has a temper, she wouldn't stand for that kind of disrespect. Now that she's older, she's more accepting. They're both busy with work and can't be bothered to fuss. Otherwise, they'd have divorced long ago."

Footsteps sounded from the stairway. Luis instinctively looked up and immediately gave Chloe's cheek a light pat.

While they were talking, she hadn't been able to resist leaning over his lap, taking out his still-soft cock and sucking on it, her face filled with intoxication, clearly loving the taste.

For adult women deeply in love, their favorite way to express affection is through sexual giving.

It seemed all targets of the "Affection Through Familiarity" hack were the same, when alone with a man, even if Luis could stay proper, they couldn't help getting handsy.

Chloe wiped her mouth and sat up just as two elegant figures approached from the distance.

Sister-in-law Nancy had brought over Teacher's Wife Winslet. After sitting down gracefully, she glanced suspiciously at Chloe's flushed face, as if already knowing what the sneaky pair had been up to.

Nancy asked casually, "Why are you sitting all the way in the back here?"

Luis already had an excuse ready. He said, "There's no smoke back here. Sitting closer to the grill, I was worried you'd get smoked out."

"You're really quite considerate!"

Winslet sat down with a cheerful smile.

Chloe immediately stood up and called out sweetly, "Hello, Teacher's Wife."

They all shared the same preconception: aside from relatives, the person closest to Luis was this teacher's wife, so they all acted extra well-behaved around her.

Nancy couldn't help but shoot her a glare. Calling her that along with Luis, this bitch was showing off their intimate relationship.

If it were the ethereal, fairy-like sister-in-law facing off against Chloe, Nancy would feel confident about both looks and figure, let alone the added advantage of her "wicked" status.

But now, Nancy was starting to worry. Her brother-in-law was too much of a womanizer, it was infuriating. She even felt a sense of crisis on behalf of her own sister.

"You two are getting more and more beautiful, hehe, have a seat!"

Winslet sat down generously and said with a light laugh, "Let's have a little snack first. Later, people from my studio will be coming over for a gathering, and I'll need to spend some proper time with them."

Winslet had mentioned before that the people in this studio were her own; they'd follow her when she moved on.

The barbecue was quickly served. With some draft beer in hand, Winslet first brought up the matter with Anglo.

"What a shame. I was hoping to drag out this nuisance of a lawsuit with him a bit longer. Looks like it'll just end inconclusively."

"You've worked hard, Teacher's Wife. Please accept this small token of our appreciation."

Chloe, ever sharp, immediately pulled out a set of imported lipsticks.

Nancy had also come prepared, presenting a Cartier bracelet.

Winslet joked, "Luis already gave me something last time. Wouldn't it be improper to accept more? Even legal fees wouldn't amount to this much."

"Teacher's Wife, this is just a gift to show our respect. It has nothing to do with legal fees."

After a bit of polite refusal, Winslet accepted anyway. She shot Luis a look of mild disdain. Clever as she was, she understood everything clearly now.

Chloe was undoubtedly his lover, no question. And judging by how inseparable they looked these days, this beautiful sister-in-likely was involved with him too. Her nominal apprentice truly was quite the scoundrel.

After sitting for a while, her office colleagues arrived. Winslet gave a slight nod and went over to join their gathering.

Noticing Nancy's unhappy expression, Chloe proactively clinked glasses with her and said, "Nancy, doesn't it feel like that bastard got off too easy? You must've been just as worried as I was those past few days."

Nancy wasn't the scheming type and immediately chimed in, "Absolutely! Damn it, I even asked Teacher's Wife if we could countersue, but she said it wasn't necessary and the chances of winning were slim."

"If there was any way to make him even slightly uncomfortable, Teacher's Wife would be willing to give him trouble."

Chloe thought for a moment and said, "The recruitment ad for Nova Media was posted in the group by Chena. I asked her about it afterward, and she stammered that she was working there now."

"I asked around a bit more. That woman seems to have hooked up with Anglo and is specifically targeting our circle."

That made sense. After all, if you're making money by pimping people out, quality matters, and the quality within their group was indeed reliable.

"Right, that bitch is still posting in the alumni groups these days. Teacher Blanche said she's posted in almost every group."

Anger flashed in Nancy's eyes. She took out her phone and said, "Should we just curse her out right now?"

"What good would cursing her do? It wouldn't really vent our anger."

Chloe stroked her chin thoughtfully. "I was thinking, Anglo's trick must have fooled quite a few people already. Should we gather some evidence and report it to the police?"

"Or, if anyone wants to sue, we could cover their legal fees so they don't back down."

Nancy seemed genuinely tempted. Chloe continued, "And there's something really strange, remember? When Chena posted that stuff in the group, the first person to jump in and oppose her, to curse her out, was Deewa."

Nancy slapped her forehead. "Right, I remember you mentioning that."

"After you confronted her once, she never brought it up again. She doesn't even pop up in the group anymore now."

Saying this, Nancy felt a bit embarrassed, as if she'd been ungrateful.

Chloe said meaningfully, "Do you think Deewa was also scammed before? Or maybe she knew some insider information and realized it was a trap from the start?"

The usually proud and aloof sister-in-law hesitated, then suggested, "Should we… call her over and ask her?"
