Although it would be under her husband’s name, everyone knew that the coffee expert was Deboah.
But that would happen in about five years, and currently, Deboah hadn’t properly experienced coffee.
“Good coffee beans can offer a more diverse flavor than tea.”
Elise gestured towards Regina.
She used the beans brought by Regina to brew the coffee herself.
The rich aroma instantly filled the drawing room.
It was a stimulating scent that was hard to believe came from bitter coffee.
Another thing caught their attention.
The way she used a long, slender spouted pot to brew the coffee was a spectacle they had never seen before.
People said they disliked coffee because it was different from tea, which is enjoyed with eyes, nose, and mouth, but coffee could also be a treat for all senses when properly enjoyed.
Elise first handed a cup to Deboah.
“Would you like to taste it first?”
Deboah immediately took the cup and hesitated upon seeing its color.
Unlike tea, which is clear and varies in color, the black coffee was off-putting.
However, Deboah’s hesitation was brief.
She cooled the coffee with a breath and took a sip.
Then her eyes widened in surprise.
“It tastes good. There’s a sourness and a bean flavor…”
“Try it again. You might notice a subtle floral aroma.”
“Hmph, exaggerating as usual. What floral fragrance could come from such muddy water? Maybe a foul smell.”
Patricia muttered as if talking to herself, picking faults. Deboah glared at her.
The two were like oil and water.
Patricia, negative and prejudiced, and Deboah, eager to break stereotypes.
Before they could argue, Elise involved Jasmine, who had been left out.
“How about Jasmine tries it first?”
Pleased to receive Elise’s attention, Jasmine’s chubby cheeks flushed with joy.
Jasmine Orléans.
She was far from Bedroca’s beauty standard represented by Iris.
She was plump, had brown skin, and was short.
Since her childhood, Jasmine had been ignored, leading to her feeling disheartened.
This, in turn, made people ignore her even more. At each banquet, Jasmine hurried to hide her body in secluded shadows.
‘No one knows how witty Jasmine is. And she understands the heart of a woman who wants to be beautiful.’
Eventually, Jasmine would enter the beauty business.
Her products didn’t get much attention, not because they were inferior, but because she lacked a model.
If only she had a model to properly showcase and promote her products, Jasmine would have been very successful.
Elise knew all too well the importance of packaging over the product itself.
After all, it was Elise who made Chase appear as a perfect sage king.
‘I’ll make Jasmine’s products sell out.’
That is, if Jasmine accepts Elise’s offer.
“Wow, this is really tasty! It actually tastes like flowers, right? At first, I thought it was just bitter, but there’s a sourness too.”
Jasmine’s eyes widened in amazement.
Her agreement piqued Patricia’s interest in coffee. Patricia slyly tried the coffee and then pursed her lips.
“Well, it’s edible.”
After saying this, Patricia finished two cups of coffee.
Although it was the first time these four women were together, the conversation flowed non-stop, thanks to Elise leading it.
When Elise felt the barriers between the three had eased somewhat, she broached the main topic.
“Do you know about the gossip magazine the maids are talking about? It’s full of such interesting stories. The name is…”
Elise trailed off, gauging their reactions.
“Alleycat Times, right?”
“That’s a peculiar name, isn’t it? Alleycat?”
Patricia immediately responded. Jasmine replied in an indifferent tone. Elise observed her closely before continuing.
“The publisher is shrouded in mystery, but it must be some inexperienced kid making it up as a joke. The stories seem to be based on hearsay.”
“Why do you think so? Oh, I’ve read it a few times too. My thoughts are different from Elise’s.”
It was Deboah.
“The parts describing the subtle and awkward moments between men and women are clumsy. Especially a recent issue covering the scandal between the street singer and Lord Jan – it was so awkwardly written. Describing Lord Jan’s thoughts after a kiss as being like ‘pollen fluttering in the air’? That wouldn’t come from someone who has spoken to Lord Jan or the singer, or even from someone who has kissed before. A kiss isn’t always that sweet, is it?”
“What was it like?”
It was Jasmine. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she listened to Elise’s words.
‘Is Jasmine the publisher?’
Elise’s eyes narrowed.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
