I felt very tired this month. Before I came, I was still hesitating whether I would feel fatigued, whether I would be late, and I had to transfer to the subway several times on the way. The noise and fatigue of the subway... In the end, I decided to take a taxi to go there, one step, and maintain a positive mood Come and watch to thank your friends for your kind invitation. The one-and-a-half-hour drama was not as long as I expected.

Gabby's younger sister Augustina: Jealous of her sister, fell in love with her brother-in-law Marcel, but couldn't love her, and conspired to hand over the shares her mother gave to Marcel to repay the debt. Little Maid Louise: I met Marcel 5 years ago, and we met in other villas every week until there was a vacancy for a maid at home, so I entered the villa naturally. More convenient for trysts. Marcel's eldest daughter Xuzong: not Marcel's biological daughter, and "Dad, I am pregnant with your child" Younger daughter Katerina: She considers herself to be Marcel's most important relative and sets up Marcel's "feigned death" The session made everyone confide their private affairs one after another, and the mystery was revealed at the end, but Marcel couldn't bear it, and finally "
