Chapter 233

Mandy's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile that hid a calculation few could discern.

Arrogance was a good trait, she mused, for it made deceiving the arrogant so much easier.

Ever since Mandy had witnessed Claire being manipulated by the Linwood family, she had come to understand a fundamental truth: relying on oneself was always the safest bet.

"Hang in there, Claire," Mandy thought. "Once I've saved enough money, I'll take you and Mom away from Cresthaven. We'll start fresh, somewhere no one can find us."

With a silent vow, Mandy turned on her heel, her steps determined as she headed back to her dorm.
