Chapter 475 She’s Not an Idiot Either
<b>“</b><b>Next </b>time, let’s hang out together.”
That was all Asher said before giving them a small nod.
The window rolled up, and the Bentley pulled away, gradually disappearing from view.
“That guy, seriously…” Sofia watched the luxury car drive off and shook her head with a soft <bugh</b>.
“What about him?” Jean asked, unable to resist when Sofia didn’t finish her thought.
Sofia turned to her, narrowing her eyes slightly. “I just feel like Asher… sometimes he feels really close <b>to </b><b>us</b><b>, </b>and sometimes, like he’s a million miles away-”
“I mean, he really does feel like one of those aloof rich heirs in TV dramas!”
Jean let out augh.
She yfully tapped Sofia on the shoulder. “People change, but I think Asher’s still pretty good to us. He still wants to hang out.”
“Well, that’s true.” Sofia pouted andughed.
The two of them headed down the street and stopped at a dessert shop.
This ce was known for its cute and creative desserts, and the vor was pretty good too–its only w was the price.
Sofia stared into the disy case, scanning back and forth between the options with hesitation.
“What do you want to eat?” Jean leaned in and blew softly by her ear.
“I…” Sofia drew the word out slowly, her eyes darting between the sweets. Her brows furrowed slightly in frustration.
Everything looked good, but they were all so expensive!
Sofia pressed her lips together, slightly annoyed.
“I’ll treat you,” Jean said with a sudden grin when she saw Sofia still hadn’t made up her mind.
Sofia froze.
She turned her head toward Jean, eyes widening. “You don’t have to… You’ve already treated me so many times.”
Over the years, the two of them had gone out together often. Sometimes they split the cost, sometimes one of them treated.
Jean definitely treated more, and she was always the one to pay for the pricier outings.
That made Sofia feel a little guilty.
So hearing Jean offer again, Sofia pouted shyly. “Seriously, I’m starting to feel bad about it.”

<b>“</b><b>It’s </b><b>fine</b><b>. </b><b>We’re </b>friends,” Jean <b>replied </b>with an easy <b>smile</b>, <b>then </b>reached <b>over </b><b>and </b>draped an <b>arm </b>around <b>Sofia’s </b>shoulders. “You’ve treated me too. And more importantly, you’ve helped <b>me </b>a <b>lot </b><b>and </b>thats priceless<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Jean’s words were filled with genuine warmth, and Sofia was clearly moved.
She looked at Jean silently, eyes thoughtful and deep.
The truth was–she wasn’t an idiot.
After all these years of being close, the little clues and bits and pieces had slowlye together….
Sofia had more or less figured it out-
—
Jean’s background definitely wasn’t ordinary.
Jean had never talked about it, and she always avoided any topic rted to her past. But Sofia trusted her gut.
There was no way Jean was just some staff member’s illegitimate daughter from Sterford.
That old rumor had spread like wildfire years ago, but anyone who still believed it now was probably old enough to get scammed into buying fake supplements.
Jean had to be from a wealthy family.
Sofia had figured that out a long time ago.
She still didn’t know why Jean had yed it so lowkey before–so lowkey she’d been isted and bullied by ssmates–but Jean had definitely changed over the years.
She was more confident now, brighter, livelier, and totally unafraid <i>to </i>be generous.
