Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Vivian couldn't take the intense stare any longer and blurted out, "What are you looking at?"

Jade, towering over her with an air of dominance, retorted, "Next time you come over, make sure to swipe a couple more of my brother's designer clothes. The cops won't bother with cheap stuff!" Molly felt a surge of anger when she heard Vivian's misleading words, clearly meant to cause confusion.

But as she studied Vivian's conniving, petty face, she reminded herself she knew Chad well. He wouldn't give Vivian the time of day, let alone spend a night at her place. He'd probably need a shower just from looking at her. Calming down, Molly's mind raced. Vivian showing up all of a sudden didn't add up. If she had Chad's clothes, why not just bring them along? It was clear she was here to make trouble, either for Chad or Molly herself. Molly scoffed at Vivian's explanation. "Talk about sky-high arrogance meeting rock-bottom stupidity."

Vivian didn't catch the insult and frowned, glaring at Molly. "What do you mean by that?"

Molly smirked. "I'm saying you have no shame."

She eyed Vivian critically. "When have you ever seen my brother's uniform at our place? Everyone in the Byrne family knows Chad washes his own uniforms. The best you've got is probably a plain white shirt."

As another cab rolled up, Molly hailed it. "You know, if you're so desperate to cling to something of my brother's, keep the shirt."

She was about to get into the taxi when Vivian interjected, "I don't think you have the final say. It's just a shirt, but that one? Chad will definitely come for it."

Vivian leaned in close and whispered, "That shirt has Chad's initials embroidered on it. And a little heart-shaped strawberry."

Molly shot Vivian a look, slammed the car door shut, and told the driver to take off.
