Chapter 517

Annie's words hit Monica like a ton of bricks.

It had been forever since Monica had seen Annie's fiery side, and over a crush on Herman? It just didn't seem worth the drama. At worst, they could just cut ties and move on with their lives. There had to be more to this.

Gigi was equally shaken. In Annie's eyes, she saw pure hatred, not just anger.

A wave of guilt washed over Gigi. Did Annie know her secret?

After what felt like an eternity, Gigi finally spoke, "Annie, I... falling for him wasn't something I could control. I tried to fight it, but the more I resisted, the crazier the thoughts got..." Annie cut her off sharply, "So, you thought about taking my place? If I were out of the picture, you'd get your wish, right?"

Gigi was stunned, speechless, when out of nowhere, Annie's hand flew, landing a slap that echoed through the room. Annie had poured all her rage and hate into that single slap. A red imprint blossomed on Gigi's cheek, swelling instantly, with a hint of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Monica was gobsmacked. This was intense.

Gigi stood still, as onlookers started to gather.
