Meanwhile, naïve me lay in bed sniffling—Richard, it turns out, was the type of man who ate from one pot but kept an eye on the other.
Just then, the butler announced that his first love had arrived.
My attention immediately snapped to focus, and I sat up in bed.
Wasn't this the person who was supposed to come and bring me my breakup compensation?
“Quickly, invite her in!”
However, the moment I saw her, my hopes slightly shattered.
Richard was quite a handsome guy, and the first love he couldn't forget for all these years was surely a curvy beauty, right? But instead, she turned out to be... completely flat.
My mind raced with chaotic thoughts, but outwardly I kept a polite smile. “Miss Green, I've heard so much about you. Please, make yourself at home!”
Carol had been smiling softly, but the moment she saw me, her smile vanished.
Her lips trembled as her gaze locked on my neck, as if she were about to pounce and bite me any second.
“Nina White, you're shameless!”
The one who insulted me wasn't the delicate Carol, but her ever-present protector, Ida Brown.
Of course, this wasn't the first time she'd cursed me out.
