Gia’s expression turned grim as she uttered those words.
Lina was taken aback, sensing a hidden meaning behind Gia’s statement. Reflecting on Gia’s recent unusual
behavior, Lina began to suspect that something more complex was troubling her friend. However, she couldn’t
quite grasp the full extent of the problem.
After a moment of silence, Lina reached out and held Gia’s hand, casually delivering a weighty message. “I don’t
believe you would do something like that to me.”
Gia was shocked by Lina’s response.
Lina smiled gently. “If you’ve truly done something terrible, I hope you hold yourself back until I find out. Please,
spare me from experiencing the pain of such betrayal… Maybe then, we can still salvage our friendship.”
Gia licked her lips, her expression serious.
Lina’s pure and transparent smile shone like a crystal, exposing the darkness lurking within Gia’s heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGia recalled her small and crowded home, where her parents treated her as a tool to care for her brother. They
even suggested using her dowry to finance her brother’s future marriage. From a young age, they ingrained in her
the idea that her education didn’t matter as long as she found a wealthy husband.
They even went as far as suggesting that if Gia couldn’t find a rich husband, becoming the mistress of an old,
wealthy man was an acceptable option. As long as Gia could bring money into the family, they didn’t mind her
selling her body.
It was under these toxic circumstances that Gia grew up, constantly subjected to her brother’s mistreatment and
belittlement. He treated her as a servant, issuing orders and resorting to verbal and physical abuse whenever he
was displeased.
Living in such a toxic environment had tainted Gia’s heart as well.
She envied Lina’s loving and doting parents, who cherished her as their precious daughter. Even Dave treated Lina
like a little sister and was protective and caring. It was in stark contrast to Gia’s own experiences, where she was
constantly treated as less than worthy.
A mix of envy and jealousy swirled within Gia’s heart as she looked at Lina.
Gia’s emotions toward Lina reached their peak when Melvin’s subordinate found her and revealed the truth about
Lina’s life.
In addition to envy and jealousy, Gia also had a strong sense of resentment.
She resented her own lowly life and the stark contrast with Lina, who had loving parents even after being
kidnapped.
Could it be that some people were simply born to be loved?
Gia was unwilling to accept that notion!
She could never forget her parents’ anger when she was accepted into this university. They blamed her for
choosing such an expensive school.
Gia had fought with them for three days, finally persuading them with the excuse of being able to “find a rich
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmboyfriend” at this university to convince them to pay the tuition fees.
But what about Lina?
The Jenners had given everything they had to send Lina to this university, yet they never pressured her. Their only
wish was for Lina to explore and experience the world.
The closer Gia became to Lina, the more imbalanced she felt…
That’s why Gia decided to work for Melvin. It wasn’t just about the money.
Most importantly, she wanted to bring Lina down.
She wanted to drag her into the same muddy place she inhabited!
Living in the mud herself, Gia believed her friend couldn’t be a beautiful swan.
She desired to see Lina rolling in the mud, even wishing for her to suffer more than Gia had. She wanted to break
Lina’s wings and then extend her help.
Only then would Gia feel a sense of balance. Only then would she believe that the world was fair.
Gia bit her lip, resentfully munching and swallowing the food Lina had bought.
