"So that's why she never stays in the dorms like the rest of us. I thought she was off doing something important. Turns out she was playing parasite at Cora's house, trying to steal someone else's mother. Disgusting."
"Exactly. Her own parents are dead, so she goes hunting for someone else's rich ones. If her parents knew she was this shameless, they'd be rolling in their graves."
"Some people are just born desperate. The second they see money, they'll do anything to worm their way in. Suck up to a sugar daddy, latch onto a rich godmother, whatever gets them to the top."
"Cora, you're honestly too nice. If someone tried to steal my parents, I'd rip her apart."
I ignored every word. I looked straight at Cora and said, my voice low and firm, "I suggest you call your mother right now and ask her who this villa really belongs to."
Cora's expression darkened. She grabbed me by the collar.
"You conniving little leech. Don't think I don't know what you're doing. You take advantage of my mom's kindness and trick her into giving you everything you want!"
As she spoke, her gaze dropped to my neck. Her eyes lit up.
