"Berry, you're so kind to buy each of us a set of limited-edition seasonal lipsticks. That's so generous!" one girl said delightedly.

"Not a big deal. We're all classmates. I'm glad you like them," replied Berry.

It was the first time that Berry was in the spotlight at school. In the past, she was the invisible one among her girls group- Yvette, Xanthe, and Berry. Shakira didn't expect that Berry and Yvette could still be close friends after that birthday banquet incident, but she quickly accepted it considering Berry and Yvette gave up in Xanthe at the same time that night.. 'Birds of a feather do flock together,' thought Shakira. Shakira took her seat in the fro front t row as before and soon overheard Berry answering a phone call with surprise and delight.

"Really? I'm

I'm invited to the party tonight hosted by Mr. White. Of course, I won't mess things up. I'm not the same person I was before. Don't worry, Mom, " promised Berry in a cheerful voice. Berry hung up the phone with a beaming smile.

The students sitting behind her asked with curiosity, "Berry, who is Mr. White...?"

Berry straightened her back and answered with superiority, "He just returned from abroad and is hosting a welcome-back banquet tonight. He deliberately invited me to join him for dinner."

"I've never heard you talk about your family before. Berry, so your family is one of the top five wealthy families?"

Berry chuckled lightly and explained, "We share the same surname, but Kyle is the direct heir, while I'm from a collateral branch."

"But you must be close to Kyle and probably hang out with him regularly. You're so humble, Berry. How could you never mention it before!" said a girl excitedly.

"Berry, it's rumored that Kyle i is a handsome gentle man. He has a very good reputation among the descendants of those well-known families. Is that true?" asked one girl with blond hair

Berry hesitated for a moment for actually, she had never met Kyle in person. Although they originated from one family, there was a huge gap between them. She guessed that she was about to attend tonight's banquet due to Walter... Berry said simply, "Pretty much, he i s busy with his studies and seldom interferes with family affairs. I haven't seen him in a long time either."

She said with a hint of disappointment, "It seems Kyle
