The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 161

In the crowd, someone suddenly blurted out such a comment, which turned Yvette's face as dark as coal from her seat at the back of the classroom.

Back when the Nelson family was in its prime, she gave them so many benefits, and they flocked to her like dogs, seeking her favor. That time after the piano performance, Joe presented lowers to her on stage, making the audience cheer a lot.. Their photo was pinned at the top of the school forum for a whole week, and countless people congratulated them on being the perfect match of looks and talent.

Shakira was just temporarily basking in the spotlight. Yvette thought, These fair-weather fake friends weren't even worthy to carry my shoes. Yet now they dared to trample all over my reputation?

Yvette hung her head low, hiding in a corner where nobody could see her, with her face twisted with dark emotions. Next to her, Berry didn't look much better. Walter had done her a huge favor, helping her parents bring her into the summit venue. That day, she put a lot of effort into dressing up and looked glamorous. But their seats were arranged in the back rows, a world apart from Walter in the front row. The distance between them was like heaven and earth.

She could only sit in a spot where no light could reach, watching from afar as Shakira descended like a fairy and became the center of attention with a piano piece, earning praise and photo opportunities with the four esteemed seniors People around praised how lucky the Nelson family was to have such an extraordinary daughter who brought honor to the family. Even her parents sighed, wishing they had a daughter as outstanding

God knows, Berry was nearly driven mad with jealousy back then. She thought, "What kind of parents did I have?' They ignored her all her life, only regretting she wasn't a son to carry on the family name, yet they wanted another daughter. Berry thought, "What is so great about Shakira? She got into Mr. Lopez's bed and used his influence for these empty titles. If she had been the one to win over Mr. Lopez, she would be one ten thousand times better than Shakira. Compared to the lively atmosphere in the class, the dark, moody vibe between Yvette and Berry was clearly different. When Xanthe got pushed away from Shakira, she instinctively looked their way. She almost couldn't stop herself from laughing. If being locked in a room before the performance was a breakdown, then this moment was fantastic for her. Yvette totally had it coming.

folded her arms, unable to get in to see how Shakira was doing, so she turned her focus to the two of them instead. She said, "Hey, why's it so quiet around you two? Didn't it used to be all lively with a bunch of fanboys?"

Xanthe purposely sat at the desk right in front of them, turned around, and rested her chin on her hand with a wide grin. Her expression was dripping with sarcasm.

Yvette gave her a calm look and suddenly said, "Xanthe, if I were you, I wouldn't be laughing."

Even if Xanthe wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, she could tell that Yvette was trying to drive a wedge between her and

Shakira

Xanthe's smile grew even bigger. "Really? It's normal for you not to laugh since you're just too bitter to handle your friends being better than you. But I'm different. As long as you two pitiful creatures are having a hard time, I'm perfectly content." Yvette was lost for words.

So'was Berry.
