If it weren't for Jack, Shirley wouldn't even bother being nice to Jessie.Who did Jessie think she was?"Well, since she turned you down, let's see what she wears tomorrow," Lucy said with a smirk. "We're all waiting for the show. Who knows? If she shows up looking cheap, her boyfriend might feel embarrassed and end up liking you instead."Shirley was quite pleased to hear that. Leaning back in her chair, she chuckled. "Actually, the day we went to that art exhibition, I got her boyfriend's contact number. I've been sending him money every day, and he hasn't turned me down once.""He doesn't look poor," Rachel couldn't resist saying."Oh, of course not. Handsome guys like him never have to worry about money. There are plenty of rich girls lining up to spoil him like our dear Shirley here," Lucy teased.On Wednesday afternoon, after class ended, Jessie was getting ready to head home to get changed when Shirley asked again, "Are you sure you don't want to wear what I picked out fo

Rachel didn't answer. She just stared at Janice. No one knew what she was thinking.After not getting a reply, Lucy turned to Rachel and followed her line of sight before nudging her elbow. "I'm talking to you."Rachel gave her a cold look. "Janice and I are pretty close. If you talk trash about her in front of me, what do you expect me to say?"Lucy froze.Rachel's personality was a bit like Jessie's, but she wasn't as attractive.Out of the four of them, she was also always the quiet one.Now she looked at Lucy differently. She seemed aloof and barely hid her contempt."Do you know Janice?" Lucy asked.Shirley overheard them and immediately moved closer. "Did you know Janice was coming tonight?" She asked angrily.Rachel put her wine glass down. "Yeah. So?"Shirley was too furious to speak.Jessie watched Shirley's expression turn furious. She then looked at Rachel and softly said to Jack, "I didn't expect her to hide such an important fact."By then Jack had already pull

Jack drove over and picked Jessie up. He was about to ask whether she wanted to head to campus or back home when he saw Lucy knocking on the window.Jessie rolled it down. "You two should get a taxi. I'm going home tonight.""Shirley's pretty upset about her birthday. Aren't you going back to the dorm to cheer her up?" Lucy asked with a smile."She'll have to deal with it herself," Jessie said and rolled the window back up.Jack smirked. "You're heartless.""Haven't you already figured that out?" Jessie shot back.Jack realized then that she had a dry sense of humor, and when she decided to strike, her words always hit their mark.They fell silent for a while.Jessie kept scrolling on her phone. Her fingers moved quickly across the screen without stopping.Jack glanced over at her and said, "I looked into the Langleys during the party. They used to be close to the Judds. Marie's cousin had been engaged to the real Janice since they were kids. They grew up together. After the J

Jessie made it sound like she was talking about something trivial.Shirley turned to Lucy. "Wow. My squabbles are nothing. These two have escalated to full-blown family feuds."The downfall of the Judd family had been due to investigations.Shirley knew this much. Everyone connected to the Judd family had been investigated. Even Jack's father, Ivan, had been sent to prison.But if anyone was ruthless, it was Jack. He had no hesitation when it came to punishing his opponents.After Jessie left, Lucy asked Shirley, "By the way, you said last night that Jack went after the Gerome family and got everyone involved. Do you think Rachel's parents might be caught up in that too?""Lucy, has anyone ever told you that you're really annoying?" Rachel dropped the act. She pulled back her curtain with a mischievous smile.Lucy shrugged. "It doesn't matter. Why should I care if anyone likes me?""Even if she's annoying, she's nothing compared to a girl as calculating as you," Shirley said wh

The mall was packed that evening.Mia was out shopping with Rachel. After being away from the country for so long, this kind of freedom felt very relaxing.Neither Rachel nor anyone in the Langley family knew her real identity.As for the old Janice, who cared?Mia had reshaped her face beyond recognition and had easily stolen her life.Mia was holding several shopping bags and handed one to Rachel when a man's voice suddenly called out, "Are you Mia?"She turned around.The man standing there looked disheveled. His clothes were wrinkled, and his hair was unkempt, but there was something familiar about him.Instinctively, Mia stepped back and glanced at Rachel. "Who are you talking to?" she asked.Rachel frowned. She was confused by the man's sudden appearance, but Mia's reaction made it even stranger.Freddy's gaze was dark and cold as he stared at Mia. After a long pause, he began walking toward her. "You really don't know who I'm talking to, Mia?""You've got the wrong pe
