glancing around nervously So, you're telling me Ashish has a... secret account? With my dad?
crosses arms, sighs Yeah, I knew he was always up to something shady. But money laundering behind my back? That's low, even for him.
For what it's worth, he did say he was keeping it from you.
rolls her eyes Of course he did. Because what kind of wife would want to know where all his money is going?
pauses, voice lowering Look, I don't care about the money itself. But the fact that he's lying to me... it hurts.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Look, Flyinglin, I appreciate you telling me all this.
nods Alright, Meg. Look, I need some time to process all this. Can we take a walk or something? Clear my head?
starts walking towards the trail Let's go then. Maybe some fresh air will do me good.
Hey Meg. I know this is hard for you. But maybe this is a sign that you shouldn’t be with Ashish.
stops walking, looks down at her hands You know, sometimes I wonder if I'm just being paranoid. If maybe I should just trust him.
Well, if there was one thing I learned from my ex, who was a crook, it’s that you can never really know someone until there is no secret left to uncover.
pauses, looks up at Flyinglin You know, I think you're right. I can't keep living in the dark.
That’s what I’m talking about!
determined look in her eyes I'm done being in the shadows, Flyinglin. From now on, I'm going to find out what's really going on.
smirks Oh, you will be needing me. I'm going to confront Ashish and get some answers. And trust me, he won't know what hit him.
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through contacts First, I'm going to call Ashish.
I’d love to hear his response.
dials Ashish's number, waits as it rings Hello, Ashish? We need to talk. Now.
Oh, this is gonna be good.
listening intently, her expression hardening Ashish, I found out about the secret account. Why didn't you tell me?
voice filled with anger Ashish, this is unacceptable! You think you can hide your financial secrets from me? You think you can lie to me and get away with it?
slams her phone shut, turns to Flyinglin Can you believe this? He expects me to just accept his lies? I am not a fool!
No, you’re a woman who is definitely not a fool.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I'm done being in the dark, Flyinglin. From now on, transparency is key. No more secrets.
That’s what I like to hear. Now let’s go celebrate your birthday.
looks at Flyinglin, a mischievous glint in her eye Celebrate my birthday? Absolutely. But we're doing it my way.
grinning devilishly Get ready for the wildest birthday celebration of your life, Flyinglin. We're going to let loose, have fun, and forget all about Ashish's lies.
grabs Flyinglin's hand and starts running towards the resort's party venue Come on, let's get this party started!
laughing, pulls Flyinglin into the party Alright, let's show them how to party!
