Chapter 1104

Juliana felt like she'd finally met someone who truly got her. For the first time in ages, she let her guard down and just let it all spill out—she told Sandy everything, no filter.

Sandy was a pro at reading people. She listened with just the right amount of sympathy, making Juliana feel seen and understood, which only made Juliana want to share more.

“Wait, what's your name?” Juliana asked, realizing she'd been talking for ages without even knowing.

"I'm... Sandia," Sandy replied, not quite telling the truth. "And you?"

Sandy tossed in a fake last name-Huang-trying to make a connection.

“I'm Juliana,” Juliana said, surprised and delighted. "No way, we have the same last name! How old are you?"

"I'm a Dog," Sandy answered, referring to her zodiac sign.

"That makes you younger than me—I'm a Rooster," Juliana replied, a little too happy to be a year older. "I'm your big sister, then."

“Such a coincidence," Sandy said, acting like meeting Juliana was fate. "But why are our marriages both so miserable?"

As soon as marriage came up, Juliana's mood tanked. "Tell me about it. Life just isn't fair."

Sandy leaned in, voice gentle. "What happened to your child? You're still so young -why can't you have kids anymore?"

Juliana's eyes grew hard, pain flickering through. "I was set up by someone awful. I lost the baby, and then my mother-in-law signed the papers so the doctors would take my uterus out. I'll never be a mom now."

"Oh my God." Sandy gasped, perfectly shocked. "That's just cruel. How could she do that? And who hurt your child?"

"It was an enemy. You wouldn't know her," Juliana spat, anger burning. "And then my mother-in-law tried to force me to divorce. Not happening."

"Of course not," Sandy said, squeezing Juliana's hand. "You don't deserve any of this. Whoever did this to your baby shouldn't get away with it.”

She sounded so sincere, anyone listening would think she was truly heartbroken for Juliana.

"I'm not letting the woman who killed my son get away with it," Juliana's voice trembled with hate. "But she's slippery, powerful, and her

Sandy nudged gently, "There's more than one way to get revenge, you know. Sometimes, the best way is to go after the people she cares about most."

Something lit up in Juliana's eyes, as if she'd just had a brilliant idea.

The people Anastasia cared about most... that would be Herman, her husband, right?

Juliana hesitated. "You mean I should go after her husband? He's even harder to deal with. I can't exactly seduce him or break them up.”

Sandy nearly rolled her eyes-when did she ever say anything about seducing Herman? As if Juliana could pull that off.

Keeping her tone casual, Sandy

nudged again, "Aside from her husband, is there anyone else.

"Oh, right, she has three kids."

Finally, Juliana was catching on. Sandy felt a little thrill of satisfaction.

"Your enemy really has it all," Sandy said with a sigh. "We struggle just to have one child, and she has three."

Hearing that, Juliana felt the bitterness even more. Anastasia had everything— money, a handsome, devoted husband, three adorable kids.

"Let's swap numbers," Sandy suggested, pulling out her phone and opening WhatsApp. "So we can hang out whenever."

"Definitely. It's rare to meet someone who understands me," Juliana agreed, happy to add Sandy as a friend.

Once her goal was met, Sandy made up an excuse and slipped out.

As she left the café, she glanced back at Juliana sitting there, a sly smile playing at her lips. What an easy mark, she thought.

Suppressing a laugh, Sandy strode away, already planning her next move. With Juliana on her side, everything was about to get a lot easier.
