Chapter 23: She Doesn't Know Him, Right?

Sonya found Lily Lane, a striking woman in a leather jacket, skirt, and boots, engaging in a heated conversation with a security guard.

"Seraphina and I grew up together. We were classmates in high school and college. I know all her dirty laundry. You like her TV dramas? Hah! Her melodramatic acting? How could I possibly say anything bad about her? We're close friends. That thing with the actor Li... she's always loved snatching other people's things. Maybe she thinks other people's husbands are more interesting" The guard was completely stunned by Lily Lane's rapid-fire gossip. When Lily Lane spotted Sonya, she waved her over, then continued, "Sonya, my girl! You know about her and Julian Jennings and Seraphina West, right? My poor friend got totally screwed over by those two heartless people. She and Julian were together since college! Everyone knows..." Before Lily Lane could spill more, Sonya pulled her aside, silencing her and greeting the guard. He looked slightly disappointed to be interrupted.

"Miss, you should come by the security office for tea sometime," he said to Lily Lane warmly, "Olivorre, let's continue this later," she grinned.

Sonya shot her a withering look and surveyed the two large suitcases."Are you two moving back to a New York?"

"Just me."

"What do you mean?"

"I divorced Li Chaoan."

Sonya was taken aback."When did that happen?"

"Five days ago. He cheated."

"How did you find out?"

"I opened the door."

Lily Lane erupted into laughter, leaving Sonya utterly bewildered.

"It's an online meme."

Walking toward the villa, Lily Lane leaned against Sonya, still giggling. But when she saw Julian Jennings taking out the trash, her laughter died abruptly. Sonya instinctively tried to stop her, but Lily Lane was already charging towards him.
