Stephanie clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes betrayed a fierce resentment she couldn’t conceal.

She never expected that Milly would pull such a stunt on her.

Everything was fine yesterday. She had agreed to explain it to the teacher and spare herself from apologising on stage. Yet, just moments ago, the teac

And Jordan was present. Wasn’t this a direct insult?

Milly, that b*tch must be orchestrating this deliberately!

As she seethed with anger, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in her peripheral vision.

“Melanie, why did you just arrive? I’ve been waiting for you. Stephanie’s eyes sparkled as she hurried over, adopting a more sweet tone, ‘I don’t understa to her word. It’s truly exasperating.

Melanie ignored her words, bypassing her and heading to the back of the line.

Stephanie was taken aback.

What’s wrong with Melanie? Something seems off. Given her previous temperament, she would have confronted Milly if she had heard such words. Why

Compelled to follow, she stood beside Melanie, feigning urgency in her voice. “Melanie, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you’re unwell, inform th

Upon hearing this, Melanie nearly burst into laughter.

Apologise on my behalf? You are likely planning to push all the blame on me when you go up there.

She had been so naive before, failing to notice such blatant intentions and foolishly allowing herself to be used as a scapegoat..

With this realisation, she gazed expressionlessly at Stephanie and asked coldly, “Stephanie, let me ask you. – Are we best friends?”

Taken aback by her gaze, Stephanie nodded quickly. “Yes, we are.”

Melanie sneered sarcastically. “Best friends? Do you know that my family went bankrupt because of you?”

Upon hearing this, Stephanie’s expression changed. She had been preoccupied with navigating the current situation and had forgotten that Melanie had

No wonder she has been acting strangely since her arrival, her face filled with despair and desolation.

But how was their family’s bankruptcy my fault?

“Melanie, I know what happened to your family, and I empathise with you. I told you I would speak with

Listening to Stephanie’s defence, Melanie found it utterly absurd. She’s still trying to push everything on me. What am I expecting?

Yet, seeing her like this, Melanie found it amusing. Unable to contain herself, she burst into laughter. “Stephanie, do you genuinely believe that the Spencer family went bankrupt because of Jordan? While the Spencers may not be as affluent as the Burnetts, we have a sturdy foundation that cannot easily be dismantled tier, prominent family.

“And I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Jordan earlier. You’ve always claimed to be the darling of your family, the apple of their eye. But why did I spo

“Hahaha. Stephanie, you are truly pitiful. Milly has received so much more than you without even trying. You are quite laughable. Hahaha

Melanie genuinely found it amusing, laughing with a strong sense of sarcasm and disdain, even shedding tears from laughter, bending over in amuseme

Stephanie was provoked by her mocking laughter, her eyes red with anger. Each word felt like a jab at her wounds.

Jordan favoured Milly, George was Milly’s fiancé, William was Milly’s loyal follower, and even Anthony was gradually accepting Milly’s influence.

It seemed like everyone had changed.

Stephanie’s face turned livid, clenching her fists tightly to maintain

“Stephanie, as we were once desk mates, I’ll remind you to cherish the present. You cannot compete with Milly. You have only just begun to covet what she disdains. What

Melanie’s evil influence. I don’t think Jordan will dwell on it too much.

Melanie seemed to sense her gaze and abruptly turned to look at her, her eyes cold and filled with relentless animosity.

Stephanie shuddered, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

Having been friends for so long, even if Stephanie wasn’t genuine towards her, there was still some understanding between them. She cares so much ab

Well, let her revel in that relief for now. But soon, it would be time for a comeback. And that feeling wouldn’t sit well with her, would it?
