Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0248

When someone was in the limelight, no one cared about their past Even though she couldn't engage in the most basic of academic discussions, others would bring up appropriate topics to make sure she felt fully involved. She noticed me too. Her gaze followed my every move as she casually brushed her hair back, deliberately showing off her carefully applied makeup.

Someone fanned the flames, saying, "Ms. Cooper, who is this? She doesn't seem to be from your circle."

At this moment, Jasmine was no longer the pitiful little figure who once garnered sympathy in the hospital.
