Joelle had quite the reputation in Beloris back in the day, especially with Charles backing her. She was gorgeous, and now that she’s a dazzling star, all that shyness and insecurity are long gone–she’s probably even more irresistible now.

Back then, she never lacked suitors.

Seeing her fall silent, Leo scoffed, “Wow, so you really are here for him. Too bad Charles, even with his health in shambles, made the effort to come over–went up half an hour ago, and even thoughtfully picked out some extravagant gift. Honestly, you should just give up already. Fifteen years, and you still couldn’t win his heart. What he and Joelle have–that’s the real thing.”

Everyone knew Charles had been in the hospital lately.

And everyone was aware of the real estate deal he was about to cut, too.

Yolanda slipped her lipstick into her pocket, shooting Leo a glare. “You’re always giving me a hard time. Don’t tell me you’re secretly into Joelle?”

Leo’s smirk instantly vanished–he jumped to his feet and snapped, “Bullshit!”

She couldn’t think of any other reason for how he acted.

Leo had always seemed to have it out for her, always throwing nasty remarks her way.

The elevator was about to arrive. As soon as the doors slid open, Yolanda was about to step in, but Leo snatched her wrist.

Yolanda didn’t want to start a fight in a spot where anyone could walk by, but Leo yanked her behind the big potted plant Ian had just been hiding near.

It was pitch–dark back here, with the courtyard just beyond.

“Leo, you say you don’t have a thing for Joelle, so why are you so desperate to block me tonight? Are you afraid I’m gonna crash your precious Joelle’s date with Charles?” Yolanda shot back.

Leo’s eyes went red with rage, but he was hopeless at arguing–he just kept throwing out the same tired insults.

‘I must’ve really hit a nerve, Yolanda thought to herself. Back when Charles had married her out of spite, rumor had it she looked a lot like Joelle, and he was just using her as a stand–in. Even Leo once told her he’d mixed up their faces. ‘Guess Leo really is Charles’s rival for Joelle,‘ she mused.
