"Well, suit yourself." Summer kept the face masks away. She didn't want to deal with the entitled Felicia anyway.Seeing Summer angry, Felicia chuckled and teased her. "Summer, I realize you're seriously bad at being diplomatic. You're friends with Yola, right? Is that why you're being standoffish? Are you doing this because of her?"Summer could hardly care to explain. She gestured with her hand to make Felicia leave, but the latter didn't. Instead, she sat on Summer's bed and crossed her legs. "Why don't we have a nice little chat? I believe we have many things to talk about."Summer was utterly speechless. She wanted Felicia to leave, but the latter was thick-skinned and insisted on staying in her room. Now, she even wanted to have a "nice little chat" with Summer."What do you want, Felicia?" Summer spat."I just want us to have a chat. Didn't I make myself clear enough?""I have nothing to talk to you about.""But I do." Felicia flashed a mischievous grin. "Summer, I've h
Felicia's eyes glinted as she finished speaking. Stressing her words, she added, "Summer, we just have to work together. If we control James and Zach, Rosseera City will be our playground. No one will dare to look down on us again. We'll call the shots in Rosseera City."Felicia was ambitious. She was after big things. However, her way of realizing her dream was to trample on the rest and use them as stepping stones.Summer scoffed in disdain. She retorted, "So, your plan is to work with me to manipulate James and Zach? Do you think that's possible? "Even if they truly like us, they're heirs to their families. They're not that dumb to follow whatever we tell them to do.""This is where you don't understand." Felicia got up and circled around Summer. Her eyes gleamed as she said, "Oh, Summer. You're still too naïve. You don't understand men one bit."Summer didn't know what she was talking about, but Felicia's stare made her feel uneasy all over. She wanted to move away, but Felic
"Felicia, please get out!" Summer's meaning was clear. She wouldn't work with Felicia, and that was final.Felicia cursed at Summer inwardly. How could Summer be so naïve? What was she thinking?The Quigley family treated her badly, and Felicia was giving her a chance to fight back. However, Summer would rather pass up the chance.Felicia continued to talk Summer into her plan."Come on, work with me. If you help me marry Zach, I'll help you control the Quigley family. By then, we can start a company together. "We'll achieve greater heights with the resources from the Myers and Quigley families. You can be the president, and I'll be the vice president. What do you think?"Summer could only sigh. Felicia had a good idea, but it also showed how smart she was. She was so smart that it was terrifying.Manipulative and smart women tended to make men fall deeply in love, and they kept their men to themselves. However, Felicia wasn't that kind of woman. She wasn't obsessive.Rather,
Zach replied to Summer solemnly as well. Maybe it was because he had rarely heard Summer talk to him so seriously.Summer cut to the chase and said, "I want to tell you that Felicia's back. She's on her way to your home."Zach gaped at the news, unable to react immediately. He had been kept in the dark about Felicia's return. No one had told him, so he knew nothing about it. The news from Summer hit him like a thunderbolt.Felicia, the woman who had hurt Zach the most, was back. Those past memories had tortured him like numerous daggers in his heart. He was finally moving on, but now she was back."No way." Zach shook his head and replied weakly. Panic could be heard in his voice. "She couldn't have come back. She disappeared for three years. How would she come back?"Summer knew some information about Felicia's sudden return. She honestly revealed Felicia's purpose for coming back. The latter's main goal was to have Zach wrapped around her finger, so Summer hoped he wouldn't
James saw through Summer and comforted her. "There's one thing you didn't realize. You've changed Felicia, although you don't know it.""I changed Felicia? What did I change about her?""You've shaken her confidence. She's starting to doubt if she can get Zach to go back to her. At the same time, she's starting to feel guilty about it.""How is that possible?" Summer had talked to Felicia for so long, and she hadn't felt an ounce of guilt coming from Felicia. Felicia was dead set on approaching Zach for money. How would she feel guilty?James said, "It is. You just didn't realize it."Indeed, Summer didn't realize it. After all, it was a really small detail. Shrewd women like Felicia wouldn't reveal their true thoughts in front of people. Only people like James, who was good at hiding their innermost thoughts, could see through them.He had asked Felicia one thing when he had taken her to the Myers residence this afternoon."Felicia, will you feel happy hurting Zach?"Felicia
Zach met Felicia at the Myerses' residence study. He told Yolanda that Felicia would come.Yolanda was nervous when she heard him, but Zach comforted her. He said he wanted to settle things on his own and asked Yolanda to give him time.Seeing Felicia, Zach asked coldly, "Ms. Yard, what brings you here?"Instead of using her name affectionately as he once did, he now called her Ms. Yard. He was keeping her at a distance. Felicia faltered a little, but she remained calm with a gentle smile on her pretty face."Zach, it's been about three years since we last saw each other. Won't you give me a smile? Aren't you happy seeing me again?""Should I feel happy? You left me for three years.""I didn't." Felicia saw Zach's accusation coming, and she was prepared to explain. "Your family was too hard on me, and you were busy with work back then. That's why I decided to leave. I didn't mean it—I didn't want to leave you.""Really? Then why did you date someone else afterward?" Zach conti
"Felicia, stop. Whatever happened between us is all in the past now," Zach said in a deep voice."Aren't those our memories? Are you going to pretend they never existed? We loved each other. Everything we've gone through was real. Zach, you can't deny it!"Felicia leaped into Zach's embrace, wrapping her arms around him. She wouldn't let go even though he was struggling to break free.Past memories crept into Zach's head. Felicia's embrace reminded him of their moments together, moments he had often dreamed of."Stop! you can't do this!" Zach shoved her away. Felicia stumbled and fell to the ground.She became teary as she sat painfully and pitifully on the ground. Zach felt sorry and slowly went over to help her up. However, she wrapped her arms around Zach's neck the moment he held her."Zach, can't we get back together? Let's pretend nothing ever happened between us. We can still be as happy together as we were back then.""There's no going back between us," Zach said quietly
Felicia's arrogant tone changed into a pleading one. She exhausted all her tricks, but Zach didn't seem to want her back, not even a little bit.Zach had his resolve early on. Since he decided to date Yolanda, he would stick with her. He would never choose Felicia, who was merely pretending to be the victim.He shook his head and asked, "Felicia, you really haven't changed even until now. You want to use me, don't you? I know everything. You came back for my money.""No, that's not true…" Felicia cried aggrievedly, even shedding tears. In fact, she was putting on an excellent act. Otherwise, how would Zach believe her?Unfortunately for her, Zach was a changed man. He saw through her and her bunch of lies."Move on, Felicia. Let's end this on a good note. At least we can still be friends," Zach said as he removed her hands from his face.Felicia wasn't letting go. As Zach tried to pull her hands away, she reached out and trapped him in her arms. She hugged him like a koala, deter
