Chapter 1199:
Now a wealthy lady, she naturally fit in with the affluent crowd at her table, and their conversation flowed easily.
The traditional boundaries between teachers and students had dissolved, and they exchanged jokes freely.
“So what?” one of the women said. “You grew up, you're not that conservative, right? Everyone in our circle has
an affair. And it’s normal for a woman to have a man in her heart she can’t forget, even if she’s married.”
“That's true,” another added. “Plus, Bryan is wealthy, handsome, and influential. We're too intimidated to
approach him, and we barely spoke to him in school. But Presley, you're different. You were even punished by
the school because of the rumors about you and him being together, and he...”
Their laughter and chatter filled the air.
Presley’s heart raced with their words.
She had been adopted as a child, and although her mother had been kind, she felt uneasy in the family after her

sitting next to Presley accidentally knocked over her coffee cup, drenching Presley with the brown liquid.

Phoebe was enjoying snacks in the car when she spotted Jacob walking towards the club, his arm over a man’s
shoulder. Her nerves caused her to scatter snacks all over the car.
“Hurry up! Don't just sit there!” She unbuckled her seatbelt, ready to leave the car.
Eileen attempted to hold Phoebe back but was unsuccessful. Phoebe donned her down jacket and exited the car.
