    For instance, six months ago, Serena knew she wasn''t a true Collins, yet she unted the Collins name


    in high society, recklessly spending the Collins'' fortune.


    There were seven or eight friendsing forward, and Serena was livid.


    These backstabbers had once sweet-talked her for favors, and now they were kicking her while she


    was down!


    Using a new number Martin had given her, Serena registered a burner ount andshed out in the

    [Who''d wanna be friends with you now?]


    Fuming with rage, Serena shut off her phone.
