ire’s tone dripped with mockery and contemptb, /binstantly making Amber see red.

ireb, /bbwhy /bdo you act so close to Sienna? Shut up.” Amber fumed as she wondered, ‘How dare she? What right does she have to so close to Siennab? /bAmberpletely ignored ire’s words, but the moment she heard ire’s tone to address bSienna/b, her blood boiled.

ire sneered, “Sienna said bwe /bare friends. bIt’s /bnone of your business, Amber. Sienna had my back yesterday and even praised me to my bface/b.” Amber clenched her teeth, her beyes /bzing with fury.

“Amber, if it bweren’t /bfor Siennab, /bI wouldn’t even bother with a moron like you. Here’s a friendly tip. Don’t let her y you bfor /ba sucker. You’re bso /bdenseb,/bb” /bire warned.

ire turned to bleave after /bspeaking, but Amber strode bover /band blocked bher /bpath. “Hold it right there, What exactly do you mean by that?”

Yesterdayb, /bwhen ire bsaw /bMia tear up that letterb, /bsuspicion arose. After overhearing their conversation, everything clicked. ire instantly understood what bwas /breally going onb, /b

ire looked at Amber. Amber was bvery /bcute, with pretty eyes tinged with gentle anger. Her lips bwere /bplump and inviting.

Without any makeup, Amber bwas /bincredibly beautiful. Although she had short hair, it only enhanced her charm.

Amber’s puffed–up, angry–cute bexpression /bunexpectedly tugged at ire’s heartstrings. ‘Damn it, ire cursed inwardly, finding herself unable to deliver the scathing remarks she’d nned.

ire began, “Amber, are you truly clueless or just ying dumb? Can’t you bsee /bMia has been targeting you all along? That love letter was clearly meant to humiliate you.

“And those people who blocked you yesterday? They’re all her close friends. Don’t tell me you really believe it was just a coincidence?”

Amber froze for a moment, caught off guard. ‘Is ire really implying that Mia has set me up? No way. Mia is my best friend. We’re really close friends. No way. Mia would never do that to meb,/bb‘ /bshe thought.

“ire, cut the bcrap /bwith your discord–sowing. Don’t think I don’t see what you’re up to. You’re just bitter about yesterday’s beating, so now you’re trying to ruin my friendship with Mia? Well, I’m not buying it, so give it up.” With that, Amber stormed off.

ire thought, ‘I’ve never met a girl this hopelessly dense, dumber than a brick. Anyone with half a brain could have figured it out. She really thinks I’m the one trying toe between her and Mia?

‘Ruin their friendship? As if I have nothing better to do. Ungrateful brat. Can’t even tell who’s really on her side. What an idiot.

“Idiot, if it wasn’t her doing, then why was your name on that love letter?” ire snapped. With that, she also turned on her heel and walked away.

Amber slowed her steps. Yesterday, the letter had been snatched away in the chaos, but she’d managed to grab it back. bHer /bbeyes /bskimmed over it, and there bwas /bAmber’s name, written clearly on the envelope.

‘Why would Mia write my name? Wasn’t Mia supposed to confess to Adrian? By all rights, the letter should’ve had her name on it, not mine, Amber wondered.

Amber puzzled over it all ss but couldn’t figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

At a coffee shop near the school gate, Susan and Sienna sat bacross /bfrom each other at the small table.

Susan nervously sipped her coffee, nothing like her usual stern homeroom teacher self. For some reason, she couldn’t understand why Sienna made her so anxious.

Sienna waved her hand dismissively, signaling Lana to leave.

Lana gave ba /brespectful nod, opened the door, and took up her post outside.

“Susan, there’s no need for me to reintroduce myself. I’ll be direct. I understand that both your daughters applied to Fellington University overseas. but unfortunately, they were rejected for various reasons,” said Sienna.

Susan was visibly shocked and a bit embarrassed. Sienna bwas /bright. For families like Susan’s, there was just no way to get into Fellington University on grades alone.

“Yes, Miss Hart.” Susan nodded.

Susan came from humble beginnings. In Varis, where every inch ofnd was worth its weight in gold, she was just another ordinary face. Her
