"See, you guys are my best friends. I messed up last time, so I invited you here to eat, hoping you can forgive me. It was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry," Shelia said, oblivious to Debra's presence. Debra sat in the corner, quietly listening to Shelia's apology.
"My boyfriend bought me a house just across from the campus. It's boring to live alone. Why don't you move in with me? You guys are my best friends after all," Shelia said earnestly, holding their hands. Debra almost laughed out loud.
"So, Juan was the boyfriend Shelia was talking about.'
She understood now. If Shelia really wanted to apologize, she could have done it ages ago.
In reality, she was just trying to show off the house Juan had bought for her. That was why she said these things at the most expensive restaurant in Arcane Academy.
"What are you staring at? Order something," Jordan said.
Debra snapped out of her thoughts. "Get me a cup of tea. I suddenly crave it."
"Huh?" Jordan was bewildered.
Just then, Wendy asked, "Are you talking about the complex where Debra is living?"
She glanced subtly at Debra, who was sitting not far away.
Shelia didn't notice. "Exactly! We couldn't even get in last time. After my boyfriend found out, he bought a house there for me. I moved in and immediately thought of you guys."
"Did
you think of us, or did you want to show off?" Carrie said sharply.
She had always treated Shelia as a friend and hadn't been so harsh before. It was different now. "Carrie, how could you say that? I've always considered you my best friends," Shelia said, tearing up. Debra rested her chin on her hand, amused by the scene.
"What are you looking at?" Jordan was annoyed that Debra's attention was elsewhere.
Debra gestured for him to hush and directed his gaze towards Shelia.
Only then did he notice Shelia. He cursed under his breath and wanted to leave. Debra held him back, whispering, "Calm down and enjoy the show."
Marion's strategy worked, and she was eager to see how this drama would unfold.
"Stop pretending. It's been so long since the incident, and you didn't apologize to us until now. What's the reason? To flaunt that your wealthy boyfriend bought you a house?" Carrie's voice reached the ears of those around, drawing their attention.
Carrie had been under investigation by the Inspection Team, causing rumors to spread about her. She received many cold looks, and now she had little patience left for Shelia. Chapter 105

Shelia didn't expect Carrie's strong reaction or such blunt exposure of her vanity. Her face turned pale instantly. "Carrie, let's talk it over. Things are not like that."
