She turned around, feeling quite good as most things today were under her control. However, the mont she turned, her steps abruptly halted when she t Jared Quinn’s deep, piercing gaze that seed to see through everything, making her feel a mont of panic,
Why does this man always stare at her?
Did he see her actions just now?
lody Thorne felt a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and pretended to be indifferent as she walked towards the swimming pool in the yard, slowly calming her violently beating heart.
If she were to say the person she feared most, it would undoubtedly be Jared. Especially in the past few days since her rebirth, she found that this man was exceptionally inscrutable, exuding mystery and danger at every turn.
One mont he might let you kiss his face, and the next, he could end you.
"Hey, there she is," ca a few won’s voices from behind.
"Let’s go, teach her a lesson. She’s here without even understanding the rules, daring to steal the lilight. She’s asking for it."
"Just look at her pathetic state, thinking she’s worthy."
Hearing the voices, lody Thorne casually tightened her grip on her wine glass; the won had already surrounded her.
"What? You think changing clothes will turn you into a phoenix?" a woman sneered at her. "Daring to steal Ivy’s spotlight, quite capable, aren’t you?"
lody recognized the woman in front of her, Jean Gage, who was entirely used by Ivy as a tool. Ivy always had others offend people while she played the good guy.
One woman deliberately walked behind lody and gave her a hard push. lody could have dodged, but she went with the woman’s force, her stiletto heel stepping on the foot of a woman beside Cecilia Gage, and she pushed with force, colliding directly.
With a "splash", the woman fell in, while lody stopped her steps just in ti.
The won scread. They only intended to push lody into colliding with that woman to seize the opportunity to teach her a lesson. They hadn’t used much force, but she still ended up falling in.
"lody Thorne, how dare you lay a hand on my people?" Jean Gage grabbed her arm, and the won surrounded her, about to act.
lody raised her eyes, a cool, chill gleam flickering within, "Do you know what the stupidest kind of woman is? The one who’s used by others as a pawn yet doesn’t know it, thinking it’s so deep sisterly bond."
"What do you an?" Jean Gage glared venomously at her.
"I an, soone gets you to serve drinks, tells you it’s an opportunity for an endorsent deal, you go, end up being taken advantage of and get nothing in return, while others end up with the deal in hand. Being sold yet still counting money for others — that’s you all over."
"What do you an soone asked to serve drinks? Ivy said she was passing on the endorsent opportunity to !" Jean Gage stared at her, "Are you trying to ruin our relationship and make excuses now?"
lody smirked as Ivy was approaching them. According to old habits, she would definitely pretend to diate, then secretly deal with her, and later claim she got injured helping lody,
"Let’s test it then, whether I’m wrong or if you’ve really been sold out." A perfect chance to give Ivy a lesson — a small gift since her rebirth.
