“Hey Charmaine, have you seen the latest gossip about fortune telling online? It’s so interesting! Apparently, someone in our city bought a mansion worth millions, but it’s falling apart. The house owner is a ruthless businessman, and now he’s running out of money and can’t sell it. Bad people always get what’s coming to them–karma, right?”

Celeste clapped her hands, clearly enjoying herself. She deliberately added, “The funny part is, you know him, Charmaine. It’s your evil adoptive father. No wonder your luck was so terrible before–it must have been all that bad karma from his family!”

Charmaine couldn’t help but twitch her lips. She glanced at Leah, who looked like she’d just swallowed something disgusting, before letting out a small laugh.

Leah clenched her fists, struggling to stay calm. She was doing her best to ignore Celeste, but it wasn’t easy.

“Charmaine, you’re finally back at school,” Leah said, her tone dripping with fake sweetness.

“You have no idea how worried I’ve been these past few days, with you gone.”

Leah carefully observed Charmaine’s expression and lowered her voice to a whisper. “Bennett has done some terrible things to you. I don’t know exactly what, but he’s still … Can I apologize on his behalf?”

Celeste’s face turned red with anger instantly. She practically jumped out of her seat and asked Charmaine, “What’s going on? Did that sc*undrel hurt you?”

She whipped around and glared at Leah, baring her teeth. “B*tch, you two are clearly in on this together; stop acting innocent!”
