From inside, someone blurted out, “Holy crap!” followed by another who couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

As the murmurs grew into a cacophony, many onlookers cast admiring glances toward Isabella, marveling at how the chain of coincidences had unfolded not realizing she might have orchestrated the scenario. They were thrilled by the spectacle, the excitement palpable in the air.

William, suddenly alert, questioned. “Your ex– husband contacted you again? Why didn’t you tell me?” The memory of Jennie’s past, marred by hints of domestic turmoil when he first met her, flashed

As he looked at Jennie’s tear–streaked face, William’s heart was heavy with guilt and remorse.

William was momentarily taken aback, the reality of their unresolved issues suddenly pressing. Flustered, he responded sharply, “Enough! How many times must I explain myself about that night? I don’t have time for this now. Tell me, do you know Isabella?”

Once again, he ended the call abruptly, leaving Jessica staring blankly at her phone, overwhelmed and nauseous, unable to make sense of the swift and
