Chapter 1679

Zera said, her tone softening, "I'm just speaking my mind. Aiken and I truly love each other. Honestly, I didn't even know about Wendy at first. It bothered me for a while when I found out, and I even thought about leaving your brother.

"I didn't want to be the third party in someone else's relationship. But sometimes, feelings can't be controlled. I wanted to leave, but I just couldn't control my emotions. We're both women, so I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from." Simona didn't buy it. "I'm not a man, and you don't need to be all sweet and delicate with me. What you're really reluctant to leave behind are the resources Aiken has given you, right? He can use money to give you opportunities today, and he can do the same for someone else tomorrow.

"You keep saying you don't want to be the third party, but then you go behind his back to confront Wendy. Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical? Men may fall for your act, but it doesn't work on me." Simona wasted no time in exposing Zera's pretenses.

She continued, her tone cold, "The reason Aiken likes you is probably because you remind him of Wendy. She's easygoing, but I'm not. If you've messed with Wendy, you've messed with me. Do you understand?"

Simona thought that men always fell for that act. But women? They were repulsed by it.

"Why cry now?" Simona thought, her impatience clear as she rolled her eyes. "Where were those tears when you were bullying others?
