Chapter 63


    Nancy nodded her head as she said, "That was just one of the many reasons."


    Taking a deep breath, Summer thought, ''There is still more?! Just how displeased is she with me?''


    "Do you know what I hate most about you? Even though our appearances and capabilities are on par,


    all the acknowledgments andpliments would surely go to you. No matter how much I do or how


    hard I try to be better, I would receive none of those, but that was still fine to me until you lied and hid


    the truth from me. That was thest straw."


    Sitting on the sofa, she sneered as she continued her rant, "I saw you as my closest friend. In the times


    when you were in a pinch, when have I not been there for you?"


    Whenever Summer had asked for her help, Nancy would be there, and she had helped Summer plenty.


    When Summer could not go for sses, she had filled i n for her sses.


    When Summer did not have a ce to stay, she gave summer her contacts and even took days off


    from work to help her clean her new ce.


    "I was having a major crisis, and I had even begged


    you for help, but all you did was lie in my face even though you were capable of helping me! Am I just a


    joke to you, Summer Hart?!"


    Other than that, what made Nancy feel the most upset and embarrassed was how Mark did not even


    spare her a single nce when she threw herself at him.


    She had swallowed all the remaining pride she had left and tried to seduce him, yet what she got in


    return were shame and humiliation.


    ''Perhaps in his eyes, women like me are seen as trash but just what is it that Summer has that I don''t?’


    Nancy thought bitterly.


    It seems Summer did not truly understand her best friend after all. All this while, she did not know


    Nancy had harbored all those grudges against her.


    She tried to exin, "I told you, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It wasplicated, and there were


    someplications back then!"


    As if she heard something hrious, Nancy cackled loudly. She said, "You were getting married to the


    director of the most powerfulpany in Santabaca, yet you say there wereplications? Or are you


    trying to unt, or is it simply just to trigger me?"


    Hearing so, Summer replied sullenly.


    "We have been friends for three years, and I thought w e understood each other well. I guess


    everything I thought we had was one-sided, and it was all just a joke. If you can''t understand where I''m


    She continued, "From this moment on, we are no longer friends, but I have to let you know one thing. I


    a m certain that I haven''t done or sacrificed any less for you back in the days."


    Summer felt that it was meaningless to pinpoint and list every single time or thing she had done for


    Nancy, such as helping Nancy pay for her tuition fees for 2 years and her brother''s.


    If Summer were to bring up these favors, she knew Nancy could not take it based on her understanding


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    of Nancy''s prideful personality. Nancy’s pride would not be able to take it, and she would overthink and


    "Since you''ve always thought of me as a hindrance who snatched your spotlight, today onwards, I will


    stay as far as I can from you, so you can have the chance to shine and get all the acknowledgments


    and attention you have always wanted. However..."


    Summer paused as she stepped forward and raised her hand.


    Smack.


    She gave Nancy a hard p on her cheek and continued her words sternly.


    "This p is for what you have done to hurt me. You know what you did."


    Immediately after, she turned on her heel and strode out the house without sparing a nce to Nancy.


    She paused as she passed by the third floor. She turned to face Mark as she told him, "I''m going to


    visit my parents for a bit."


    He nced at her. She looked calm, but her pale cheeks remained flushed as her eyes glinted with


    emotion, making her appear alluring, and he was almost tempted to caress her cheek.


    "Okay," he replied as he gazed into her eyes, and after checking the time, he said, "I''ll head to the


    office for some work."


    Speaking up, she answered, "Drive safe and take care."


    She watched as he left, and only when his lean figure was out of sight did she turn on her heel and


    headed towards her parents’ house.


    Amara had answered the door, and immediately, Summer’s face darkened as she asked, "Why are you


    here?"


    "Why can''t I be here? This is my home too. Where else should I be if not here?” Amara refuted as she


    did her manicure, the smell of her nail polish horrid.


    Walking past her, Summer went directly to her dad''s room and asked him, "Dad, why is she here?


    Have you forgotten what you and mom had promised me before?"
