Chapter 4 — The Woman Behind the Perfect Smile
Richard returned home without warning.
He began watching Eleanor carefully.
The woman everyone loved.
The perfect wife.
The elegant hostess.
But behind closed doors…

A servant accidentally dropped a glass.
Eleanor humiliated her.
A gardener trimmed a bush incorrectly.
Eleanor threatened to fire him.
