Who knows if that's how you attend this school. Everyone knows Berkeley is not for poor folks like you. You can't even afford a decent dress. " Clara mocked. “ Are you high on cheap drugs? This is a state school, I don't see the need of your bullying. If you feel like I'm too poor for this school and you're too rich to mingle with me, we'll find a private university. I heard they accept cheap whores on benefits. " Elsa said and she gasped. " You dare talk back at me. I see you're feeling too big because Shawn is after you. I wonder he sees in yo

“ She pushed me!" Celeste cried louder. “ No I didn't. You were the one who tried to push me. You're only on the ground coz I avoided you." Beauty said slowly. “ I was only trying to be reasonable with you. You took my fiancee away from me, now you want to kill me." Celeste feigned teras and everyone present gasped. “ She really is a prostitute. "“ Shameless whore. "“ Who knows what she did to the brother?"

TWO WEEKS LATER. A limousine stopped at Degrandes Hotel, the largest hotel in New Jersey. With a charming smile on her face, Beauty stepped down from the limo the same time as Mason. They were here for Mia's engagement party. “ I feel bad. " Beauty pouted. “ We talked about this Beauty. We won't let her find out from us. " Mason said and she sighed. “ I know. I just feel.... I know the kind of man she's getting involved with but I can't even tell her. " “ She'll be fine. " Mason said and pecked her forehead. “ Meanwhile let's try to act happy and in love for the camera.

“ Stay away from my son Beauty. This would be the last I'll warn you. The next one would come with an impact. I don't like repeating myself twice. " Rose said over the phone. She had called Beauty late at night while Mason was fast asleep. " I love your son, ma'am. “ Beauty said and she chuckled. " Love?
