Chapter 66
Maybelle spoke to her without any hint of joy, but Josie didn’t mind at all. She still affectionately linked her arm with Maybelle’s, whispering in her
“Hmph, how dare you say you miss me? I heard that your adoptive parents held a hirthday party for you a few days ago. They said it was at a seven- star hotel and invited many industry insiders Why didn’t you invite me and my parents?”
The girls tone implied blame and anger. Her other motive for approaching Maybelle was her family needed help from the Harper family.. After all, the Lasson family’s business was always in a bad state. 11 they could take advantage of Maybelle and connected with the Harper family, it would definitely be beneficial for their business
If they were lucky enough to attend the Harper family’s banquet, they could at least gain a lot of besiness resources there. However, Maybelle didn’t, invite her at all and caused her to be scolded by her parents
Maybelle was well aware of her schemes and replied quite calmly, “What’s the point of inviting! You know well that my adoptive parents and I are not very close. It was not a birthday party for me. Actually, it was a celebration for the Harper family’s real daughter returning.”
Josie had other thoughts when she heard this. She had heard a bit during the holidays about the Harper family finding their real daughter Although she didn’t know the details, she guessed that once the real daughter returned, Maybelle’s days as the adopted daughter wouldn’t be She couldn’t resist a touch of schadenfreude when she heard that
casy.
No wonder the didn’t even invite me to the birthday party. It must be because she was ignored by everyone, so she felt embarrassed to invite her
friends
Josie pretended to be cunous and said, “Oh, the real daughter of the Harper family has returned.”
Maybelle knew that Josie was probably already thinking about how to get close to the real daughter of the Harper family. After all, if she wanted to help the Lawson family gain business resources, she needed to get close to the right person.
Maybelle looked at Josie clinging tightly to her arm, feeling a bit sick. She could no longer tolerate this false friendship.
In this lifetime, instead of waiting for Josie to backstab her, Maybelle decided to take actions actively, quickly pushing this disgusting woman over
She smiled and sold Josie, “Yes, Rhea is about our age, but my adoptive parents dote on her immensely and always meet her demands. Oh, if this continues, there might be no place for me. By the way, I heard they’ve mobilized quite a few connections to transfer ber to our school
After hearing this Josie became visibly more excited at the thought of having a chance to get close to the real Harper family daughter, blurting out “Really?”
Austin School imposed extremely strict requirements for transfer students. If not for the Harper family’s money power, they certainly couldn’t have transferred their biological daughter in during the last semester. The Harper family truly values their biological daughter.
On one hand, there’s the highly valued real Harper daughter. On the other, the adopted daughter who takes the bus to school every day. Anyone knew how to choose between the two
The next second, Josie immediately realized she might have seemed too excited and abnormal just now. She quickly tried to cover it up awkwardly, “Oh, that’s not what I meant Hearing you talk like that, you must not have a good relationship with your sister! Don’t worry, I don’t care about who the real or fake daughter is. We’ve been besties for so many years, I’m definitely on your side, I won’t let her bully you
Maybelle had heard similar words in her last life, and then what happened? Josse unexpectedly backstabbed her, letting her be mocked and ridiculed by classmates. That was her ticket to becoming Rhea’s most loyal linle follower,
Maybelle kept a calm facade, but she was thinking, ‘Stop chrapening the word ‘besties. Who cares to be on the same side as you?
The two of them walked into Class A noe after the other. Maybelle arrived at her seat and found that her drawer was, as usual, stuffed with several love Iriten and various gal
Even though Maybelle kept a low profile at school and made it clear she wasn’t interested in dating, her exquisite and stunning face still attracted many boys who eagerly lined up to give her love letters and giths.
Josie noticed several exquisitely wrapped bugs inside, and one of them was actually the perfume she had always wanted to own. Her eyes lit up immediately. She walked silently to Maybelle’s desk as she usually did, intending to pick up the pile of love letters and gifts. These boys are really annoying. I’ll just lielp you return them!”
“There’s no need” Maybelle stopped her with a faint smile on her face, “I’d better do it myself”
In the previous life, Josie always said she would help return these items, but in fact the secretly opened all the gifts behind her back, discarded the worthless ones, and quietly pocketed anything valuable.

Furthermore, she also secretly hinted that Maybelle had recently taken a liking to a certain necklace or a certain perfume. When the boys saved enough money and proudly placed the gifts on Maybelle’s desk, she would then, under the guise of returning them, quietly pocket these expensive gifts.
Over times, these admirers came to believe that Maybelle was a gold–digging girl. pretending to be aloof while being stuck–up.
When Josie’s fingers almost touched the perfume she’d been longing for all vacation, she was reluctant to pull her hand back and blankly questioned Maybelle. “What’s wrong. Mabel Don’t you usually hate dealing with this stuff the most? Anyway. I’ve got time to help you return them Don’t you trust me?“
Maybelle stopped her and said with smile on her face, “Of course I trust you, but I just happen to have some free time now, so I could go and see who sent these things. Maybe I could pick a boyfriend from them.”
Josie was surprised by Maybelle’s words and thought in her mind. “What happened to her today? How did her personality change so much after a shon holiday?
I can’t let her go looking for those boys. I can’t let her know that I have pocketed those gifts. If things are brought to light, I will be condemned by everyone here.
