A while ago, on the day Niamh officially divorced Jonathan, she had invited Lana and Elmer out to celebrate.
Lana had declined.
It wasn't because she was still holding a grudge over Niamh's flirtatious behavior with Jarrett during their double date; she was just in a genuinely terrible mood.
It wasn't so much a fight with Jarrett as it was him giving her the cold shoulder—a one-sided silent war.
Lana didn't understand.
One moment, they were watching fireworks together at the amusement park, all sweet and romantic.
The next, Jarrett had suddenly become incredibly distant.
Just yesterday, he had broken up with her.
No matter how much Lana begged or pleaded, Jarrett was resolute about ending their relationship.
He told her he'd had a change of heart.
He had fallen for someone else.
Lana had cried all night, and her eyes were still red and swollen.
She knew Jarrett was attending the Elixir & Co. grand opening today, so she had disguised herself and secretly come here.
Through the spotless glass of the storefront, she could clearly see Jarrett smiling, his affectionate eyes never leaving Niamh's side.
Lana was a woman, and she trusted her intuition.
The way Jarrett looked at Niamh confirmed it: Niamh was the one he had left her for.
Tears welled up in Lana's already raw eyes.
Jarrett's company was a partner of The Thomas Group, which Niamh now owned.
It was inevitable that they would interact.
But in Lana's mind, it all started during that double date, when Niamh had practically thrown herself at Jarrett, sparking his interest.
"Then what does that make me?" Lana whispered, her voice hoarse, her chest aching with pain and anger.
Niamh already had Elmer.
And even without Elmer, she had Michael, Preston Winslow, even Peter.
