"That's right. The woman in the green dress is still nowhere to be found," said Georgia with a laugh.

Margaret jumped in and said, "Over the past week, a bunch of women from wealthy families have tried and failed. Mrs. Reid just takes one look at their pictures and says that they weren't her. I wonder what kind of stunning beauty this mystery woman must be."

Yasmine struggled to keep her face neutral, but inside, she was practically screaming, "It's Vespera! She wore a green dress that night! And she really did help a woman escape! But who would have thought that woman was Dominic's mother? Vespera probably didn't even know."

The woman, who had started the gossip, looped them back to the juiciest part. She began, "Anyway, you were talking about those women Mrs. Reid refused to meet. But Ms. Monroe actually got invited to the Reid residence. Mrs. Gordon helped arrange it.

"Apparently, Mrs. Reid asked Mrs. Gordon to help search, and Mrs. Gordon matched Mrs. Reid with Ms. Monroe based on those clues. Mrs. Gordon probably figured it was a win-win. But Ms. Monroe was a total disaster.

"Ms. Monroe showed up like she owned everything and didn't know how to read the room. She insisted she was the woman in the green dress. Mrs. Reid was so irritated that she called Ms. Monroe out right there on the spot and sent her home humiliated. Mrs. Gordon was livid."

All the women listening burst into laughter, but Yasmine wasn't paying attention. She was still reeling from the revelation that Vespera had saved Dominic's mother. And the Reid family was serious about finding the woman. And if Vespera didn't speak up soon, someone else might just claim her spot.

"I'm sorry. Something came up. I have to go," said Yasmine, standing up abruptly. Then, she sprinted out of the estate.

Once Yasmine was outside, she gave Vespera a call to break the news. However, Vespera was currently in a meeting and had put her phone on silent mode.

Yasmine contacted someone to pass the message to Fawn. She didn't come right out and say she knew who the woman in the green dress was. Instead, she claimed she was one of the women in the corridor who had helped Fawn escape that night.

She figured that at this point, Fawn was probably tired of hearing people claiming they were the woman in the green dress. But if she could offer a detail only someone truly present that night would know, it might change the game.

Two quick phone calls later, Yasmine got into her car and curled up in the back seat, trying to call Vespera again.

There was still no answer. What on earth was Vespera up to?

Later, Yasmine gave Rebecca a call instead. After a few rings, the call connected. Yasmine went full drama as she said excitedly, "Becca, guess who one of the two women we rescued that night turned out to be? You'll never guess!"

Rebecca was deep in a stack of paperwork, her head pounding. She leaned back in her chair and replied dryly, "Dominic's mom?"

Yasmine froze. She asked, "Becca, are you psychic or something?"

Rebecca rubbed her temples. She chuckled and said, "Let's not pretend. I am a bit of a psychic. Let me do a deduction…"

Yasmine cut in and said, "I'm just joking."

Her exaggerated expression dropped, and her tone changed as she asked, "So, Vespera already knows about this? And you guys didn't even tell me? Am I no longer part of this friend group? I'm deeply hurt."

Rebecca, who was still in the middle of deducting, froze. A while later, she sighed and replied, "We just found out yesterday. Technically, it's still a guess. Besides, Vera doesn't plan on coming forward."
