Chapter 31

Flatter Yourself

"I've already said this before-whatever we had is over. How long are you planning to keep clinging to me?"

Linsey's sharp words landed like a slap, and Felix felt something twist in his chest.

For the first time, panic flickered in his eyes. Was she serious? Was this really the end?

But Joanna, standing smugly nearby, wasn't convinced. With an exaggerated sigh, she interjected, "Linsey, come on. Who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows you've been crazy about Felix for years. You don't just stop loving someone

overnight."

Linsey almost laughed at how ridiculous Joanna sounded. How long was she going to keep up this pathetic act? "Joanna does any of this concern you? Seems like that slap I gave you last time didn't teach you a lesson. Want me to refresh your

memory?"

Without hesitation, she lifted her hand, ready to strike.

Joanna let out a startled shriek, stumbling back half a step, her face going pale.

The sting from last time was still fresh in her mind, and she had no intention of reliving it.

Felix, watching the scene unfold, barely recognized the woman in front of him. His patience snapped. "That's enough, Linsey! Is this really how you treat Joanna? What's wrong with you?"

Their heated argument had drawn attention, and by now, a small crowd had gathered at the entrance, eager to witness the

drama.

But Linsey couldn't care less. Unbothered by the curious stares, she scoffed, "Yeah, be I am crazy. So what? Want me to slap you too?"
