Chapter 461 L''s Best Friends
J had just returned to the White family home. Johanna didn''t want her to go back to Seacisco
so soon, so she vehemently insisted that J stay in Barnes.
"I''m going back to thepany for work tomorrow. If you''re bored, you can go shopping with L.
She has many friends in Barnes. This is the supplementary card of my credit card. You can buy
whatever you''d like." Before Johanna made her way to thepany, she gave a card to J to
use as she pleased.
"Thank you but no, I can''t ept this. You have bought me innumerable things." J felt
embarrassed to ept such a grand gesture.
Johanna pressed the card into J''s hand and hugged her again, feeling reluctant to leave.
"You''re being too polite with me. Well, I really have to go now. I''ll give you two the time to bond with
each other today."
L was positively green with the jealousy that consumed every fiber of her being. She had been
longing for a supplementary card for as long as she could remember. However, no matter what
methods she tried to employ, Johanna didn''t agree to it. Now J had made little to no effort yet
she was gifted the card. How could L not envy her?
L had a catch-up date with her best friends to enjoy afternoon tea. She had no desire whatsoever
to take J along with her. However, since Johanna had asked her specifically to do so, she had
no choice but to let J tag along.

The ce they patronized was a restaurant in a five-star hotel. The desserts of this hotel were well-
known, which made it a popr ce for many wealthydies to spend their leisure time. "L!
You''re finally here! Do you know how long have we been waiting for you?" As soon as L and
J entered the restaurant, a woman in a sexy slip dress with leopard print pattern stood up and
waved to beckon them over.
L quickly walked over and kissed the woman on the cheeks. She smiled and asked, "What made
you stay abroad so long?"
When the woman was about to speak, she saw J standing behind L. She raised her
eyebrows and smiled, "Who is this? Why don''t you introduce her to us?"
L took a nce at J. She walked behind her and introduced her to her best friends, "This is
my sister, J White. You must have heard of her in the newspapers."
Of course, these women knew full well who J was. They had read the news about her in the
newspaper over and over again.
L led J to their seats to sit down.
The youngdies made conversations with J from time to time about some mind-numbingly
boring topics.
From these conversations, J could tell that these youngdies were all from rich families and
had no ambition to strive to make progress.
They lived afortable life and were waiting for their parents to arrange husbands for them in the
future.
As for L, she only took a swivel-chair job in White Group for formality purposes. As for whether
she went to work or not, that was wholly up to her mood.
L and her best friends kept talking about luxury, designer brands and entertainment. J
couldn''t get a word in edgeways, nor did she have an interest in joining their superficial chat.
"J, I heard that you came from Seacisco. It''s one of the most developed cities in the country.
Are there any interesting ces in particr in your opinion?" A short-haired woman suddenly
changed the topic.
However, before J could say anything, L cut in, "J grew up in the Lind family in Seacisco.
But my mother tells me that the Lind family is declining and that it can''t even be considered a
wealthy family any longer. Besides, J had been raised in the countryside by an old maid when
she was young. Before she came here, she was an ordinary employee in apany. I don''t think
she knows much about Seacisco."
L''s best friends were daughters of plutocrats. They all had studied abroad, so they naturally
looked down upon J who came from a small town.
After chatting for approximately ten minutes, they realized that J and they were not in the same
social rank. They didn''t talk to her anymore and deliberately alienated her from the rest of their
conversation.
J felt unbothered by their behavior. Originally, she didn''t like to spend time with thesedies in
any event. Since no one talked to her, she just sat quietly and enjoyed the tea and desserts.
"How about we go to the Hermes store? Just now, the saledy told me that the new bags I
ordered thest time was finally here and avable now." After the afternoon tea, these richdies
got to their feet with the n to go to the shopping mall.
J didn''t move. She looked at the colorful macaroons on the table and said, "The desserts here
are simply scrumptious. I would like to spend more time here. I will pack some for Mrs. Whiteter."
L and her friends didn''t want to take J with them in the first ce. Now that J requested
to stay, it was just what they wanted and suited them absolutely perfectly.
J spent the whole afternoon in the restaurant. When it was almost time for dinner, she went
home with desserts packed up.
After that, when L asked her to go shopping and have a meal with her friends, J refused her
suggestion firmly.
Johanna felt strange. When she came back home from work these days, she saw J staying at
home and not going anywhere to socialize.
On the other hand, L didn''t return home until midnight.
One day, when L came back from the bar, she bumped into Johanna who was in the kitchen to
get herself some water.
"Why have youe home sote yet again? Where is J? Didn''t you take her with you?"
Upon hearing what Johanna said, L''s eyes filled to the brim with tears and threatened to overflow.
She nced at Johanna and said nothing.
Johanna frowned slightly, "L, what''s the matter?" "Mom, you made it sound like I am the one in
the wrong. J is at home. I ask her to go out for fun with me, but she refuses every single time."
She spoke as if she had beenpletely wronged by her mother. She continued, "Mom, I always
have this gut feeling that J doesn''t like me very much."
