Vera red at Skr, her frustration palpable. “You!”
“Did you not understand what Skye just said? She made it clear, didn’t she? If you want to know if
Joe likes Lizzie, you’re asking the wrong person. Skye isn’t Joe. How could she possibly know?
“Even if Joe does like Lizzie, what does that have to do with you?” Natalie couldn’t stand Vera’s
pretentiousness any longer.
Previous articles had praised Vera in various ways, making ordinary girls appear inadequate or
utterly worthless in her presence.
But now it was clear that Vera was just putting on an act of superiority. She looked at Vera’s high–
and- mightly demeanor and cou
ldn’t help but feel disdain. It was as if she expected Skr to answer her every question like Skr
had to revolve around her.
Vera was beautiful, but that didn’t mean anything. Skr was just as beautiful, if not more so.
Vera’s expression remained stoic as she addressed Natalie, “I know you’re Jeremy’s ex–wife, so
I’ve let your outbursts slide. But if you keep this up, I’ll mention it to Jeremy.”
Natalie rolled her eyes. “Go ahead and tell him. Who cares?”
Vera’s expression darkened. It was obvious that like attracted like, and Skr and Natalie were
clearly cut
from the same cloth.
No wonder Jeremy divorced Natalie.
“Just remember, don’t be too self–righteous. Mind your own business. Nath, let’s go look around,”
Skr said as she stood up, not wanting to waste more time on Vera.
Natalie quickly stood up as well. She had no desire to engage in meaningless chatter with Vera.
Previously, she hadn’t thought much of Vera when others mentioned her.

However, seeing Vera at the hospital in Fachington with Joe had made her feel nauseated by Vera’s
pretentious demeanor. She was far too full of herself.
Natalie and Skr walked away without a second thought. Vera tried to stop them, but the mall was
crowded, and several people were already gazing her way.
She knew that wearing sunsses and a mask in a public ce like this would attract attention. But
she didn’t want anyone snapping a picture of her face.
As Skr and Natalie disappeared from view, Vera felt an ufortable pang.
“Is she a celebrity?”
“Probably. Who else would be wearing sunsses and a mask, all covered up in a mall?”
Hearing the murmurs from people nearby, Vera grew anxious about drawing more attention. The
thought of a reporter showing up or someone taking a photo of her face made her nervous, so she
quickly left the mall.
Meanwhile, Skr and Natalie went upstairs, sticking to their n to browse the women’s clothing
and shoes.
“I used to hear that Vera was this cultured, refined sociálite from Jipsburg, known for her ss and
pride. People even said she was Joe’s true love, that she didn’t care about his rtionship with
anyone else and could fly abroad whenever she wanted.

“But now that I’ve seen her for myself, it’splete nonsense,” Natalie said, shaking her head at
the memory of Vera’s arrogant behavior earlier.
Compared to Natalie, Skr had already dealt with Vera a few times and was unfazed. Vera’s
behavior didn’t affect her mood. She simply smiled and said, “There’s no need to get upset.”
“If Vera wants to know if Joe likes Lizzie, she should ask him directly. Whye to you with all this
indirect nonsense? I don’t get what’s going on in her head,” Natalie grumbled.
Skrughed lightly. “Maybe she just wants to see if I’d feel hurt.”
Natalie rolled her eyes, clearly done with talking about Vera. Her attention shifted entirely to a
beautiful dress hanging nearby.
“I’m going to try on this dress. It’s gorgeous,” Natalie eximed,
Skr followed Natalie’s gaze and saw a gorgeous new dress with an intricate design that had
recently be trendy.
The store was known for its unique vintage–inspired style, and Skr couldn’t help but take an
interest herself.
