<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ste had not made much of an effort to dress up that day. She was wearing simple clothes, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. Herplexion was also slightly pale.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When she saw Cecilia, she offered a polite smile, no longer possessing the arrogant demeanor she had a few days ago.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia sat down, taking a sip of warm water.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The ss representative, Ruth, called out, “Come on, everyone, please take a seat. It’s not often that our whole ss gets the chance to gather together. Don’t just stand around.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone took their seats one after another.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Someone sat next to Cecilia and couldn’t resist asking her, “Ceci, is it true that you’re a renownedposer, as the recent news suggests?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia nodded. “Yes, it’s true.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing that, the others turned their gaze toward Cecilia, their expressions varying greatly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ceci, you’re really something else, aren’t you?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Don’t you have a hearing impairment? Our teacher once mentioned that your pursuit of music was much more challenging than ours.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yeah, who would have thought that you’d end up bing aposer?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone was taking turns to shower praises.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unable to stand it any longer, Yvette blurted out, “So what if she wrote a few songs? What’s so impressive about that? It’s not like she’spletely deaf.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After Yvette spoke up, the others promptly fell silent, not wishing to get involved in the argument.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the other hand, Ste, who was beside her, gently tugged at her hand and addressed Cecilia, “Ceci, please don’t take it to heart. Yvie had a bit of alcohol before she came over, so she must be drunk.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ste!” Yvette whined, dragging thest syble out. “What are you talking about? I haven’t had a drop of alcohol, let alone be drunk.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette pulled away from Ste’s grasp and stood up. “Cecilia, everyone knows you snatched Nathaniel right from Ste’s hands. If it weren’t for you, how could Ste have possibly ended up ruined? You’re nothing but a homewrecker. Now that you’re famous, what are you trying to pretend to be?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">No one expected that Yvette could disregard Cecilia’s dignity sopletely, berating her in front of everyone like that.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing these words, a hint of mockery tugged atthe corner of Cecilia’s mouth.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Yvette, you really are Ste’s good friend, always twisting the truth. Nathaniel and I are legally married and have a marriage certificate to prove it. How could I possibly be the other woman?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">This statement made Cecilia want tough particrly hard.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">In a short while, Yvette would understand what it was like to walk in someone else’s shoes.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Well then, you better remember these words.” Cecilia articted each word carefully.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Of course, I’ll remember. Everyone present will help me remember, including Ruth,” Yvette said with a face full of pride.</font></font>
She felt as though she had stood up for Ste this time, but she was oblivious to the fact that Ste had never taken her seriously.
Ruth, fearing that today’s gathering would be ruined, quickly stepped in to mediate. “All right, all right, let’s not dwell on the past. Our main focus now is to reminisce about our university days.”
Ste also chimed in, “Exactly. Yvie, no more of that; we’re at a ss reunion now.”
Only then did Yvette let it go.
While everyone else was engrossed in conversation, she leaned in to whisper to Ste, “Ste, you see it now, right? Cecilia is nothing more than a paper tiger, utterly useless.”
Ste merely smiled, choosing not to respond.
She was still fearful of Nathaniel’s retaliation, so she didn’t dare to offend Cecilia at the moment.
When Cecilia mentioned that she needed to use the restroom, Ste immediately followed.
“Ceci.”This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.
Cecilia paused, turning to look at Ste, who went on to ask, “Did you see the message I sent you?”
“I did. What about it?” Cecilia appeared unconcerned.
“You’re not mad at me, are you?” Ste nervously rubbed her hands together.
