Chapter 116: Storm Freeze

"What is it? Anything! Just name it," Lila announced, her eyes shining with so much enthusiasm she might as well have offered up her kidney if Violet needed it. Her eagerness was almost infectious.

Ivy raised a skeptical eyebrow, while Daisy tilted her head, intrigued by what Violet could possibly want. It was not eveyday that one saw the untouchable ice queen let her guard down, even just a little.

The table fell silent. Lila’s jaw practically hit the floor as she had clearly been expecting something far grander she could take on for her sake. Ivy, on the other hand, burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

Lila hissed, glaring at Ivy, who was laughing so hard tears gathered in her eyes.

"I am serious here," Violet said, her displeasure slicing through Ivy’s laughter like a blade.

Sobering up, Ivy smirked. "Fine, fine. You’re broke. So what? Call your parents then."

"Unlike you, not everyone has rich parents," Daisy snapped, her glare sharp enough to make Ivy swallow her retort. For once, the usually clueless and insensitive Ivy seemed to grasp how her words might affect someone.
