“I have nothing to say to you,” I muttered, stepping around him and striding off.

‘What does Edward even want to talk about? Does he just want to hear me say, to his face, that I must’ve been blind to choose Ryan?‘ I thought.

I don’t owe it to him to feed his sad little ego.

I hurried to the restaurant, and Isabelle had already taken care of the ordering. But she wasn’t sitting alone.

Next to her sat a girl with a refined, elegant beauty.

There was a quiet pride about her, along with an effortless grace that spoke of a privileged upbringing.

Only someone raised in an elite family could have that gentle, polished, and slightly aloof vibe.

“Victoria, you finally made it! Was traffic bad? It’s always a nightmare around here,” Isabelle greeted me with a bright smile.

I nodded. “Yeah, traffic was pretty rough.”

Isabelle looked a bit embarrassed for a second, then got all formal. “This is my friend, Fiona Chamberlain. She’s a future judge.”

Hearing that, I thought, ‘Wow, she’s kind of a big deal too.‘

Fiona gave me a polite nod. “Hello, Ms. Murphy. Nice to meet you.”

I actually had my wits about me tonight. Just from the look in Miss Chamberlain’s eyes, I could already guess who she really was.

She had to be Ryan’s fiancée–the one he was set to marry.

From the way she acted, she seemed even more eager than Ryan to meet me, probably wanting to see what kind of competition she was up against.

Honestly, there was no point in comparing us. I knew I couldn’t compete with her–if I could, Ryan wouldn’t be marrying her in the first place.
