Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 170

Chapter 168

She wasn’t lying about meeting a friend that night; running into Leyla was indeed a chance encounter.

However, the truth was that Leyla hadn’t invited her. Beatrice had ditched her friend the moment she saw Leyla and eagerly jumped at the opportunity

to be with her.

Ever since Beatrice started getting close to Leyla, she had been thinking of ways to stay in her good graces. As the heiress of the Haynes family, Leyla attracted attention wherever she went. Now, with Beatrice wanting to connect with the influential Hargreaves family through marriage, she realized she needed to do more than just win over Javier–she had to make herself an essential part of Leyla’s life.

Beatrice believed that if she could improve her status, Javier’s mother would stop ignoring her.

Leyla seemed like the ideal person to help her do just that.

It turned out that her decision was correct.

Beatrice had been spending a lot of time with Leyla, and they had gone shopping, dined out, and more. Although it sometimes felt embarrassing to act like a sycophant, the benefits were clear.

Even those wealthy heiresses in Shoneport, who once excluded her, began inviting her to join their outings.

Javier’s mother also started treating Beatrice more kindly, and the snide remarks stopped.

Even during dates with Javier, his mom no longer tried to pull him away early.

Beatrice was convinced that by associating with Leyla, she could finally get into the Hargreaves family and join the circle of socialites she longed to be part of.

However, everything came crashing down when Leyla got caught up in a drug scandal, and Beatrice’s name was linked to it too.

She felt a wave of regret, knowing that in such circles, anyone involved in a drug issue would be completely shut out afterward.

All the connections she had worked so hard to build were destroyed.

Javier, who was overwhelmed by his responsibilities, was too tired to address Beatrice’s recent behavior. His feelings for her were dwindling fast.

Finally, he said, “Beatrice, I’ve been busy with work lately. Please don’t reach out to me for a while.”
