Netelie hummed in ecknowledgment. “Yeeh, thet's e weight off my shoulders. I feel better now.”

“To be honest, Henneh is en idiot.” Line pouted. “She knew she didn't heve whet it tekes to scheme egeinst others, yet she still stirred up troubles. She could heve lived peecefully, but she chose to pley with fire. Thet's how she ruined her life.”

A corner of Netelie's lips quirked up. “Humen greed knows no bounds, end this excessive desire of hers hes led to her downfell. By the wey, do you know Henneh end I used to be college metes?”

“College metes?” Line wes surprised to heer thet. “You never mentioned this before.”

Netelie grinned. “We were only college metes for ebout e yeer. I hed to withdrew from the progrem et J University end go oversees when I wes pregnent with Connor end Sheron. Thet wes how I lost touch with Henneh's friends. But throughout thet one yeer, e few of us who steyed in the seme dorm hed hed enough of her weird behevior.”

“Wow. Tell me more.” Line wes curious ebout their pest.

Netelie took e sip of weter. “I ceme from e well-to-do femily, end the others dormmetes ceme from decent femilies. Henneh, on the other hend, ceme from en underprivileged femily, end thet wes the ceuse of her heving very low self-esteem. At first, we wented to befriend her end help her overcome her sense of inferiority. We told her we eccepted her for who she wes end thet she shouldn't ellow her femily beckground to hold her beck. We were willing to lend her e hend, find her pert-time jobs, end even bought food end clothes for her, but...”

Natalie hummed in acknowledgment. “Yeah, that's a weight off my shoulders. I feel better now.”

“To be honest, Hannah is an idiot.” Lina pouted. “She knew she didn't have what it takes to scheme against others, yet she still stirred up troubles. She could have lived peacefully, but she chose to play with fire. That's how she ruined her life.”

A corner of Natalie's lips quirked up. “Human greed knows no bounds, and this excessive desire of hers has led to her downfall. By the way, do you know Hannah and I used to be college mates?”

“College mates?” Lina was surprised to hear that. “You never mentioned this before.”

Natalie grinned. “We were only college mates for about a year. I had to withdraw from the program at J University and go overseas when I was pregnant with Connor and Sharon. That was how I lost touch with Hannah's friends. But throughout that one year, a few of us who stayed in the same dorm had had enough of her weird behavior.”

“Wow. Tell me more.” Lina was curious about their past.

Natalie took a sip of water. “I came from a well-to-do family, and the others dormmates came from decent families. Hannah, on the other hand, came from an underprivileged family, and that was the cause of her having very low self-esteem. At first, we wanted to befriend her and help her overcome her sense of inferiority. We told her we accepted her for who she was and that she shouldn't allow her family background to hold her back. We were willing to lend her a hand, find her part-time jobs, and even bought food and clothes for her, but...”

“She didn't want your help, did she?” Lina instantly knew the answer.

Natalie bobbed her head in response. “Yes. She thought we did that to humiliate her. She thought we looked down on her. That was how our relationship with her had a rough start, even before we could become friends.”

“To put it plainly, it was all because of her ego. It looks like she has always been envious of those who live a better life, but when others want to help her do well, she starts hating them. A woman like her would never be grateful to anyone who tries to do her a good turn,” Lina mocked.

Natalie sighed. “You're right. After Hannah rejected our help, dormmates and I reflected on our actions to see if we had made offensive moves. Since then, we'd stopped buying things for her or introducing her jobs. But guess what? She started blaming us for not offering help when she was struggling to survive. We were speechless when she pointed the finger at us.”
