It had been a while since they last unet. Elara still remembered how Daphne had looked at the graduation party, so dirty and disheveled.

She had been utterly humiliated by Asher's father's remarks back then. But to her surprise, when they met again, Daphne appeared radiant, dressed in high-end attire. Her gown was also from Louis Vuitton, just a different style from Elara's "Hi, Jacqueline. Quarry led Elara and Cynthia over to greet her friend, Jacqueline Tillman. Jacqueline was the birthday girl of the night.

When Jacqueline spotted Quarry, she eagerly approached him. Quarry, you're here!"

"Happy birthday! These two are my roommates, Elara Kensington and Cynthia Saxon, Quarry introduced.

Jacqueline glanced at Elara and Cynthia, her lips curling into a smile. Thanks for your coming. By the way, let me introduce my friend."

She walked over to Daphne, taking her hand. "Hehe, let me introduce you all to the girlfriend of Mr. Blue-Blooded, Daphne Wagner. She's also my roommate."

As soon as Jacqueline finished speaking. Daphne quickly replied, Jacqueline, don't say that."

"Why not? Everyone here is my good friend. They won't spread rumors, right, guys?" Jacqueline said, looking around.

"Don't worry about it," everyone assured her.

Since everyone's attention was focused on Daphne, no one noticed Elara. Unable to hold back, Elara called out to Daphne, "Long time no see, Daphne."

Daphne looked up at Elara. Upon seeing her, Daphne froze for a moment, a hint of discomfort crossing her face.

"I didn't expect to run into you here," Elara said.

Quarry, surprised, turned to Elara and asked, "You know Lysander's girlfriend?"

Elara looked at Daphne, who seemed a bit uneasy at her presence. I know Daphne, but she is not Lysander's girlfriend.""

As soon as Elara spoke, Jacqueline shot her a cold glare. "What do you mean by that?"

Elara stepped closer, standing in front of Daphne. "It's only been a few months since we last met. When did you become Lysander's girlfriend? I didn't know about this. How can you lie Eike that?"

It was absurd. Daphne had nothing to do with Lysander. Elara couldn't comprehend why Daphne would try to latch onto him in this way.

Having spent some time with Daphne, Jacqueline had become close friends with her.

Hearing Elara's remarks made Jacqueline frown. "Who do you think you are, coming into my space and saying these things Daphne is my friend. What's with your attitude?"

Lysander had made it clear that his girlfriend was not to be bullied. Jacqueline didn't understand who this strange woman was that Quarry had brought along, creating trouble for Daphne right here. Jacqueline immediately turned to Quarry. "Quarry, who are you bringing here? This is my birthday party, and now you've messed it up."

Jacqueline had invited Daphine to elevate her birthday celebration, but now Quarry's guest was causing a scene, potentially.

Quarry said, "I'm sorry, Jacqueline."

Then she turned to Elara, saying, "Elara, what's wrong with you? Do you know who that is? That's Lysander's girlfriend. If you offend the Hawthorne family, you won't be able to handle the consequences. Don't drag us down with you!" "Do you believe her or me? What if I said I'm Lysander's girlfriend?" Elara shot back.

Quarry exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind? Sure, we joke around in the dorm, but saying things like that now! You're making a scene in front of everyone!"

After saying that, she turned to Daphne. I'm really sorry, Daphne. It's my friend's fault. It's her first time here, and she doesn't understand the situation. Please don't hold it against her

Daphne looked at Elara, but Elara just smiled. "It's been a while, Elara."

Daphne's smile returned to her face. Elara watched Daphne closely, thinking she might be playing dumb Jacqueline looked at Daphne. "Do you know her?"

Daphne replied, "She's my high school classmate from Brookfield. I can't believe I ran into her here. What a coincidence!" Jacqueline asked, "If you know her, why did she come in acting like that?"

Jacqueline had a poor impression of Elara. Elara fixed her gaze on Daphne. "Everyone is saying you're Lysander's girlfriend. I want to ask, what's going on?"

Daphne looked calmly at Elara. I didn't say anything about that. It's just the rumors spreading around. Right, Jacqueline?"

Daphine turned her attention to Jacqueline. Seeing the accusatory look in Daphne's eyes, Jacqueline immediately felt guilty. "Tm sorry, Daphne. I'll handle this."

She stepped forward and addressed Elara. "Everything I just said was my own opinion. Daphne never claimed to be Lysander's girlfriend." "What did you say?" Elara asked, bewildered. When she entered, Jacqueline had been adamant that Daphne was Lysander's girlfriend. Jacqueline explained to the crowd, "Daphne said she and Lysander don't have a confirmed relationship. She never claimed to be his girlfriend

"I just guessed it when we were hanging out. Lysander mentioned that his girlfriend was at school, and I figured everyone. should know that."

The people present were all friends of Jacqueline, with families that had some connections. They knew about Lysander's announcement, that his girlfriend attended Queensun University and was also from Brookfield.

They were cautious not to offend his girlfriend, so they inquired about her identity. After Jacqueline finished speaking and saw that everyone agreed, she looked at Flara.

"If you're trying to make a big deal out of this, there's really no need. Whether or not she is Lysander's girlfriend now won't affect her chances of marrying into the Hawthorne family in the future," Jacqueline said.

Elara watched how Jacqueline defended Daphne and had to admit that Daphne had once again found herself a shield.

Elara said. "Even if Lysander made an announcement, he never stated who his girlfriend is. How can you Daphne? "Because Daphne is from Brookfield, Jacqueline answered. "Lysander's girlfriend is from Brookfield."

"But I'm also from Brookfield. If 1 claim to be Lysander's girlfriend, why don't you believe me?" Elara challenged.

"You? You're Lysander's girlfriend?" Jacqueline retorted with a smirk.

"Why? Don't you believe it?" Elara laughed.

Elara was standing right in front of Jacqueline, yet Jacqueline didn't recognize her. Still, she insisted it must be Daphne. Seeing Elara looking for trouble, Jacqueline decided to give her the opportunity. "Since you say you know Lysander, why don't you just give him a call right now?"
