Alexia had deliberately shaken him off. The driver felt helpless.


    This was not the first time the princess was so willful. She often angered the servants so much that they did not want to care about her. She was so ignorant and willful. Sooner orter, she would suffer.


    The driver sighed inwardly, feeling mentally and physically drained. Seeing that this ce was remote and rowdy, he could only run around to find her. He just hoped nothing bad would happen to her.


    At this moment, Alexia was hiding behind a small stall. Seeing the driver walk further and further away, her beautiful face could not help but be smug. “How dumb!”


    If she wanted to go back to that bar and cause trouble for Tiffany, she could not let the driver follow her. Otherwise, she would be grounded for a long time if he went back and reported her.


    Having shaken off the driver, Alexia walked forward arrogantly. However, she did not notice more than a dozen people silently following her.


    The group of hooligans, including Jansen, had seen what happened. They were all stunned by Alexia’s actions. They had wondered how to lure the driver away so things would be easier for them. They didn’t expect this turn of events.


    “This silly girl is really considerate,” one of the gangsters remarked, almostughing out loud.


    The others felt the same. Everything was going so smoothly that they almost felt embarrassed to make a move on her However, they couldn’t turn away themb that came to them to be ughtered.


    Jansen waved his hand. “Let’s go. Get a move on, guys.”


    There were a few food stalls along the road. However, not many people left the bar for supper at this time so the street was inevitably deserted. The streetmps around were a little dim, and several were spoiled.


    Long shadows formed on the ground. A dog barked in the distance. A gust of autumn wind blew and it was a little cold.


    Alexia touched her arms. This was the first time she wandered the streets at night. However, she had always been fearless. After all, everyone ttered her since she was young. No one dared to hurt her… except Tiffany. Therefore, Alexia had nothing to fear at all.


    Alexia sped up, excited to have her revenge. However, when she passed a dark alley, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground behind her.


    The sound was crisp and clear in the quiet alley.


    Alexia turned and saw no one behind her under the dim streetmp. She wondered where the sound came from and if someone was following her.


    With this thought in mind, Alexia could not help but shiver. Then, she quickly ran out of the alley.


    It was a loss of a good opportunity.


    Jansen, who was hiding in the alley, was so angry that he smacked the head of a skinny guy beside him and scolded, “You can’t even hold your phone properly? What a piece of trash.”


    The guy retorted, “Jansen, how can you hit me? Look, my phone screen is broken. I already feel bad enough.”


    “You deserve it.” Jansen stomped his feet in anger.


    However, Alexia had already run away. If they rashly chased after her, it would be extremely risky.


    Jansen could only remind them indignantly, “Let’s find another opportunity. We can wait near the bar. No matter what, we must make a move tonight.”


    Alexia ran all the way to the entrance of the Sky Spring Bar. Tiffany was inside. She was determined to cause trouble for her.


    In the bar, everyone had already entered the private room. They chatted andughed, and the atmosphere was good.


    Jade went out for a few minutes. When she came back, she was carrying a big cake. She ced it on the table with a smile and winked at Melody. “Surprised? I prepared it for you. Happy birthday.”


    Melody was a little distracted at first, but she came b “Thank you, Jade.”


    to her senses when Jade called out to her. She smiled and nodded.


    Zoe asked in confusion, “Jade, you invited us over for Melody’s birthday? Why didn’t you say so before?”


    Jade didn’t say it was for this asion when she invited them. If Zoe had known, she would not have dragged Tiffany here.


    Jade was a little embarrassed. She exined awkwardly, “Birthday parties are also fun too, right? Besides, we’re all ssmates. It’s better to have fun together.”


    “Sure,” Zoe sneered.


    They had agreed toe because of their rtionship with Jade. Yet, this happened. This was the same as lying. Besides, everyone at school knew they didn’t get along with Melody. There was no way they would go out of the way to celebrate her birthday.


    Zoe was so angry that she stood up and said coldly, “I’m really sorry for not bringing any gifts then. How can we freeload? We’ll leave.”


    However, Melody stopped Zoe. “We rarely get together, so let’s treat it as a joke. Moreover, I don’t have any friends, so I asked Jade to invite you guys here. If I upset you, I’ll apologize.”


    Melody stood there, her posture humble and pitiful. “I’m sorry.”


    When the other students saw this, they couldn’t help but step up to smooth things over. “Since you guys are already here, why don’t you have a seat and have fun? After all, it’s her birthday today. Don’t bully her.”


    Zoe was so angry that sheughed. She thought, ‘Who is the bully? When did I bully Melody? Crying is such a useful skill. So many people pity her just because she cries.’


    Tiffany did not have much of a reaction to being deceived. She only pulled Zoe back. Then, she looked at Melody with a faint smile, “It’s fine.”


    Tiffany’s smile was ambiguous, and her words were even more meaningful.


    Melody replied with a faint smile, not retreating or giving in, “Thanks foring.”


    Melody looked obedient and docile, but there was a hidden challenge in the depths of her eyes. As they looked at each other, Melody’s smile grew wider and wider.


    Tiffany satzily on the sofa. She looked calm and graceful.


    With a faint smile, she exuded a noble aura from deep within her. She was like a high and mighty queen looking down at the ants beneath her feet. There was only insignificance and disdain in her eyes. She appeared as though she was watching an actor strut about on the stage.


    ‘What do you have to be smug about?’ Melody thought. She was crushed by Tiffany’s aura and could no longer keep smiling anymore.


    No matter how hard Melody tried, no matter how outstanding she thought she was or how many times she tried to match up to Tiffany, there was one thing that could never be changed. She would never surpass Tiffany. After all, a mere tiny star could neverpete with the moon.


    Melody clenched her fists tightly. Her nails dug deeply into her palms, leaving bloody grooves.


    The atmosphere in the private room was a little strange.


    At this moment, a girl stood up and said, “Melody, is Mr. Harpering to your birthday?”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    “I suppose so,” Melody replied, “He’s a little busy. He might not be able to squeeze out the time recently. After all, the entire Harper family depends on him.”


    The mention of the Harper family meant that her worth had also risen. After all, everyone knew that Keh was the Harper family’s only heir.


    The girls were envious, but Ged burst intoughter and mocked Melody without any qualms, “Sure. The entire Harper family depends on him, so the future matriarch of the Harper family muste from someone with a suitable family background too, of course. There’s still a long time until marriage. Being his lover is different from being his wife.”
