It was Sofia’s first time witnessing <b>such </b><b>an </b>arrogant rich girl in the flesh.
Sterford Academy was full of heiresses, but few were this over–the–top.
It was like she saw herself as some queen on a pedestal,pletely ignoring basic human decency.
The men in ck suits swarmed over like a tide.
“Jean
Sofia was a little shaken, <b>reaching </b>out to try and pull Jean away with her.
Finished
But before they could leave, a few of the men blocked them into a corner. One of them roughly pushed them aside and dumped out the two coffees on their table.
Ssh.
The coffee flowed straight into the trash, and the empty cups were swiftly snatched away by a server.
“Buddy, this is awful society,” Jean said, frowning as she watched the whole thing. “Can’t you people behave like human beings? Why act like savages?”
The men paused<b>, </b>apparently not expecting her to speak like that. Their cold, sharp gazes instantly shifted toward her.
Sofia felt her scalp go numb under their stare, terrified that one of them might actually hit <b>Jean </b>in the face.
It wouldn’t even be that surprising.
This was just how the world worked—those at the top always had invisible ways of trampling those below.
Jean held her ground<b>, </b>her lips tightly pressed, not an ounce of fear in her eyes.
The men <b>gave </b>her a long, judgmental look before replying smugly, “Here, Ms. Lawson is thew. She makes the rules.”
Ms. Lowson?
“Which Ms. Lawson?” Jean blinked innocently. “Maybe I know her?”
“And who the hell are you? Ms. Lawson doesn’t need to be known by you. Get out. Or we’ll throw you out ourselves,” one of them growled, his face growing darker by the <b>second</b>.
Jean shot a nce at the stunning woman not <b>far </b>away.
<b>Last </b>name Lawson. Gorgeous. Clearly well–off…
Jean <b>had </b>a pretty solid guess already-
<b>This </b><b>had </b>to be Selena<b>. </b>
The same Selena who, in the novel, had Dominic wrapped around her little finger–irford’s number one beauty.
Now that she thought about it, did Dominic <b>and </b>Selena even know each other yet?
Dominic didn’t seem like he’d fallen for anyone yet..
Jean was about to say something else, but Sofia grabbed her arm and quickly <b>pulled </b>her <b>toward </b>the exit.
“If we don’t go now, I’m afraid they really will hit you.”

Jean still felt a bit indignant, but she had no choice but to drop it for now.
She was nning to leave with Soda, but before they could walk far-
A tall, handsome man showed up in froen of the cafe, reaching out to open the front door.
Finished
Selena had cleared out the whole cafe just to have a date with a handsome guy?
Note that’s dramatic
Jean’s eyes lit up as an idea took root. She patted Soda on the shoulder. “Alright. I think we’re done for today. You go on ahead. I’ve got something to take care of
“What is it?” Sofia asked with concern.
“Nothing <b>big</b>. See you!” Jean waved her off vaguely, then med and left in the opposite direction.
She didn’t go home.
Instead, she lingered near the cafe.
She’d noticed a side entrance that led straight to the restroomil.
jean wasn’t exactly the forgiving type.
She held grudges.
And after what Selena and her little goons had done to her and Soda, Jean definitely wanted <b>to </b>get back at her.
If this Selena was <b>really </b><b>on </b>a date, or even in a rtionship-
Then Jean was going to get proof.

Chapter 45 Unexpected Eavesd apping
Oh. She wasn’t looking at me–just at the restroom dres
Jean exhaled. Still, she needed to scram–if Selena passed this way, she’d be exposed.
Not that she was afraid of Selena
But those bodyguards of hers? Definitely not worth messing with
Jean scampered away like a kitten, light–footed and silent.
But-
The side door had somehow been closed
She tried the handle. It wouldn’t budge.
Someone must be locked int
Behind her, the click–ck of heels was getting closer.
Jean had no choice.
She darted into the women’s restroom and picked a stall at random, mming the door and locking it.
Secondster, Selena walked
Thank god–she went into the other stall.
Jean held her breath, praying she wouldn’t give herself away.
Then–Selena started talking on the phone.
So she came to the restroom to make a call?
Jean immediately perked up, ears sharpened and tuned in
“Hey,” Selena said sweetly. “You called a bunch. What’s so urgent?
Jean blinked <b>slowly</b><b>. </b>
The person on the other <b>end </b>had to be Thomas–the guy who had some connection to Dominic
“Oh, that again.” Selena sounded annoyed. “He’s dodged me so many times, I’m pretty sure he just doesn’t want to see me.”
