Xianna turned around stiffly, mustering a smile, "Kayla... Wh-What brings you here?"
Kayla's gaze was cold, and her lips curved upward, "If | weren't here, how would | have heard your true opinion of me?""Kayla, i-it's just a misunderstanding, I—"
"Ms. Anne, | believe we're not close enough to be calling each other by our first names," Kayla cut her off coldly.Xianna's face grew even paler.
Kayla swept her eyes across the crowd, "Ms. Anne and | aren't exactly close, and we certainly aren't friends. If any of youconsider yourselves friends of hers, it's probably best to stay away from me from now on. | have no interest in having any sort ofassociation with this type of people."novelbin
Kayla's message was crystal clear. She gave the girls the choice to be friends with her or Xianna.All of them were there to win Kayla's favor.
Since the incident with the Jewell family, the Anne family, which had the strongest ties to them, had suffered the most damage.Now, they were just barely holding on. Xianna tried to connect with the social circle, hoping to bring more business to her family.Unfortunately, she had completely failed to establish her identity. Even if Kayla dressed plainly, she was still the one givingorders. It was surprising that Xianna dared belittle her like this.
So when Kayla said what she did, everyone exchanged glances and unanimously distanced themselves from Xianna. Not asingle person stood upto defend her.
There was also no need for a defense. The girls knew Kayla had heard
what they had been saying. She was already being generous by not dwelling on it. They were not going to take the blame forXianna's actions.
As Xianna left, someone said, "Kayla, why did you have the waitstaff call everyone over?"Kayla was taken aback, "When did I..." Her voice trailed off, and she turned to look at Stella.Stella did not show any embarrassment at her little trick being exposed. Instead, she smiled.
Kayla grounded her teeth and said, "Oh. Uh... | asked you here so you can taste one of the desserts | had earlier. The serversshould come soon.
Remember to grab a bite before you leave."
The girls sighed in relief upon hearing that. They expressed their gratitude and walked away. They did not want to stay anylonger, fearing they might say the wrong thing.
After the crowd left, Kayla stared at Stella and said, "Was it you who used my name to call them over?"
Stella nodded and openly admitted, "Yes, it was me."
"Why did you do that? Did you want to show me how ridiculous | look in the eyes of these people?"
Stella shook her head, "I just wanted you to see how hypocritical the people in the circle you care about are."
Kayla's face darkened, "Did you think | don't know that? | know how they talk about me behind my back and mock me. Butthere's nothing | can do. | can't just reveal the truth. You don't understand how lonely it is to enter a circle where you don't know asingle person! | would have no friends if | exposed them, even if they are fake friends."
