<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecília chuckled. “Of course not.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ste’s tense nerves instantly eased.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“You know, we could still be best friends,” she said, reaching out to link arms with Cecilia.</font></font>Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia abruptly pulled away from her. “I’m not angry, because you simply aren’t worth my anger. What I want to tell you is that even if you wish me dead, I won’t make life easy for you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ste stood frozen in ce, taking a long time to regain her senses.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When Cecilia emerged from the restroom, Ste had adopted apletely different demeanor.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Cecilia, you cane after me, but show some guts, and don’t rely on Nathaniel or Calvin to help you.” She believed that without the help of men, Cecilia was no match for her at all.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, she had misunderstood. Cecilia never actually told Nathaniel that after being kidnapped by Ethan, Ste had also shown up.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia curled her lips into a mocking smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After all, Ste would soon find out.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing her say that, Ste was no longer as fearful of Cecilia. With her head held high and chest puffed out, she briskly walked ahead.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As they returned to the gathering, everyone had nearly finished eating and was getting ready to sing.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before starting the song, Ruth asked, “Does anyone remember our five–year agreement to share photos and videos from our school days?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone remembered and began shouting at her to y the video.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Following the crowd’s wishes, Ruth pressed y.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Initially, the video was all about their university life, which stirred up a lot of emotions among those present.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Time sure flew by quickly.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Somewhere along the way, the footage had changed. It first showed the back profiles of two individuals, then transitioned to a side view of a man and woman sharing a kiss.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The photograph was remarkably clear, featuring Ste and Francis.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Everyone present knew Francis, for he was a known yboy, and notably, he was also Yvette’s fiancé.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Yvette was utterly stunned, staring at the pictures on the screen. The images transitioned from kissing photos to morepromising ones, and even videos. Her breathing became increasinglybored.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ste, the woman featured in the photographs, was also dumbfounded.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It was unclear whether Ruth did it on purpose or it was just an oversight, but the video was left running for quite some time.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">It wasn’t until Ste turned off the power switch that the images on the projector screen finally disappeared.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">With the audio and video gone, the scene was as silent as death.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ruth asked in confusion, “Howe there are photos and videos of Ste and. Francis together in here?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">No one responded to her, though they whispered among themselves.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Isn’t Francis engaged to Yvette? Why was he with Ste?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Who knows?”</font></font>
“Isn’t Ste supposed to be Yvette’s best friend? Just now, Yvette was so defensive of her too. There’s no way Ste would betray her, right?”
Every word spoken felt like a thorn piercing into Yvette’s heart.
Immediately, Ste reached out and grasped Yvette’s hand. “Yvie, let me exin…”
“Exin? How are you going to exin this?” Yvette red at her coldly.
After some thought, Ste finally said, “It was all Francis‘ doing. He forced me. I didn’t initiate anything.”
Smack!
Yvette fiercely pped Ste across the face.
“Forced you? When I was watching the video earlier, you seemed to be thoroughly enjoying yourself, weren’t you?”
How could Yvette have ever imagined that her best friend, whom she had always defended, and her fiancé, to whom she was already engaged, would betray her in such a way?
She was so furious that her entire body was trembling.
Ste’s cheek throbbed with pain, but what was worse was the crowd around her, all pointing fingers at her as they shot her judgmental looks.
She couldn’t help but say, “You and Francis aren’t even married, so there’s nothing wrong with him being with me, is there?”
