Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 204

Pearl sat quietly, her face giving nothing away.

Kate, oblivious to Pearl's silence, continued her tirade. "I heard that car costs a fortune, like tens of thousands just for one. It's just a fancy sports car, right?

Honestly, I'm glad you broke it off with him. You did the right thing, girl!"

"Cheers!" Kate raised her glass, clinking it against Pearl's with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Ha! You think you can take me on? You're still too green for that.

Kate took a sip of her wine, plotting silently. Pearl's mocking vibe showed that people were gossiping about her, and Kate was determined to win Shawn over to shut them all up.
