Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1264: Crush

One thing about Lily was that her lies and excuses were often believable. Even when people suspected she had hidden agendas, it was rare for anyone to guess what they actually were. After all, just like tonight's party, it wasn't merely an excuse Lily had come up with.

It was a real party she had thrown.

As more people arrived at the nightclub, Lily excused herself from Ginnie and Grace to welcome some of her friends.

"She really is social," Grace chuckled, shifting her eyes from Lily to Ginnie. "Lily always talks about you whenever she gets the chance."

Ginnie shrugged. "I don't know why she does that. Sometimes, I wish she wouldn't then I wouldn't have to meet strangers who somehow already know my name."

"I think you're just popular."

"Popular? Me?" Ginnie laughed out loud. "No way. Even though I work for a major league team, I am nowhere near that word." freewebnovel.co

Grace tilted her head and shrugged. "I'm not into sports, except golf, so I can't really argue."

"Well, it's fine." Ginnie waved dismissively. "It's not like that's important to me."

Ginnie slowly turned her gaze back to Grace, her brows slightly raised. "Championships."

"Haha. Why did I even ask?" Grace chuckled as Ginnie laughed. "Sometimes, I wonder how you and Lily became best friends."

"It's because of Penny," Ginnie said, taking a sip from her glass. "I know Penny already told you about it, but if not for her, I don't think I'd be friends with Lily."

"And why is that?"
