Chapter 2

It was a week later that I saw Harper again.

My friend, Sophia Harris, bought a plane ticket and decided to go back to Verdantia. We made an appointment in a bar.

When we passed Harper in the corridor, Sophia exclaimed and looked Harper up and down.

Harper couldn't hide her panic. But she pretended to be calm after seeing me.

I asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know her." Harper responded quickly and turned her gaze to me, "Why are you here? Why don't you stay at home? Does William know that you are coming to a bar? The cost here is so high. You should learn something good at such a young age. Don't be arrogant even if you have master's degree."

Harper's tone was aggressive. She was scolding me for wasting money.

Sophia smiled and said, "Olivia, is she your relative?"

I didn't take Harper's words to heart and responded, "Well, she is Harper, William's girlfriend. She's pretty, isn't she?"

Sophia nodded. "She's pretty good-looking. She looks a lot like someone I know."

As we were chatting, William came over from the corridor with a few friends.

"Olivia, you're here. Why don't you tell me? Sophia is back too." William put his arm around Harper's waist. "Long time no see, Sophia."

I felt annoyed when I saw the way William stared at Sophia. He started pursuing Sophia in junior high school. Even when Sophia rejected him many times, he still thought that Sophia was just speaking in anger. It was not until Sophia went abroad to study in high school that the matter came to an end.

Sophia said shyly, "I just came back. I missed Olivia so much. I hope I didn't affect Olivia's studies. Don't be angry, Harper. I will pay for the expenses today. I won't let her spend money recklessly. Don't worry."

"What are you talking about? I feel most at ease having you by Olivia's side. How could I let you spend money?" William said as he took out his phone.

My phone vibrated slightly. When I opened it, I saw a transfer of ten thousand dollars from my William.

Harper's eyes drifted to William's phone. Seeing the transfer notification, she couldn't help but frown. "How could they spend so much?"

William ignored her. He felt pleased to be so generous to Sophia, whom he failed to pursue. "You can go play first. If you don't go home, remember to tell Dad."

After saying goodbye to William and the others, Sophia and I returned to her home, where she lived alone.

We washed up, put on a facial mask, lighted up some fragrance, and sat around the coffee table to chat.

Sophia said, "Harper is mean. I think she is not as good as Emily. Emily was so sincere to William, but William didn't cherish her."

I felt sorry for Emily.

She treated William so well and put him first in everything

However, William was a person who was never satisfied. He felt excited to pursue someone who didn't like him. William agreed to be with Emily because Sophia went abroad that year, and William was too sad. He wasted Emily's youth.

Sophia opened Instagram and searched for keywords. "I seem to have seen her somewhere."

Chapter 3

"She has never been abroad. How can you recognize her after being away for so many years?" I was puzzled and leaned over to look at Sophia's phone. "Is she an internet celebrity? She is really pretty."

"Wait a minute. I have definitely seen her before. I think she has probably seen me too, otherwise she wouldn't have rushed to say that she didn't know me. She even lectured you as if you spent her money. She's controlling you before they get married. If they get married, she'll probably teach you a lesson if you spent five dollars on breakfast." Sophia's eyes lit up. She exclaimed, "I said I've seen her. She appeared in the scandal website in our school."

It was a scandalous post from two years ago.

Life was far more dramatic than TV dramas. There were always more bizarre things happening that would cause new heat and overshadow the past.

Those who have been cheated would no longer receive any substantial help after receiving the support under the hot search posts. The victims still had to continue their lives.

People scolded the mistress. Two years later, the mistress continued to interfere in other people's relationships and lived a good life.

Harper had been someone else's mistress two years ago.

That man's girlfriend was studying abroad. They started hooking up.

The girl learned about this abroad because Harper posted their photo on Instagram with the caption: [It turns out that when you are with the one you love, you don't need to pay anything.]

Harper posted a photo of her first brand-name bag on Instagram.

But that man spent his girlfriend's pocket money.

The girl didn't spend money lavishly like other rich people. She gave all the money she saved to her boyfriend. As long as any electronic product was released, the girl would buy it for her boyfriend.

What she got in return in the end was Harper's showing off on Instagram.

The girl was so angry that she posted several pieces of evidence online, which caused a sensation for a while.

Only then did Harper realize that her so-called rich boyfriend was just a loser who lived off his girlfriend.

Two years later, Harper continued to be a mistress.

At the end of this farce, the only one who got hurt was the girl who truly loved her lover.

I said, "So William is also someone she chose to pay her bills."

Sophia nodded. "William looks very generous. This kind of fool is the easiest to be used. Doesn't Mr. Davis like Harper very much?"

I sighed, "My dad will agree with us on everything. He has changed a lot because of what happened to my mom. He feels content as long as we were together."

"Then you better be careful. Usually, it's not easy to get rid of a mistress like this. She can't stand you spending money. I'm sure she'll do something weird later."

I hadn't thought that the unexpected thing Sophia mentioned would happen so quickly.

Before I received Emily's call, I couldn't even imagine that there were such disgusting people in this world.

Emily sobbed, "Olivia, I transferred the money to your card, a total of 170,000 dollars. This is the money William has spent on me over the years. I won't count the money I spent on him. You pay him back for me. I don't want to have any contact with him again in this life."
