Chapter 75

Daphne reached out and took the bag, glancing inside. It was wrapped, but she could tell it was quite valuable. "Never mind. I won't accept the gift. You two should just take it back," she said, about to return the present.

The two boys, seeing that she had already accepte

it, naturally didn't want to take it back.

"It's just a small gift of our appreciation. You don't need to feel pressured. It's okay if you don't agree to go out for dinner. We just want to make a friend. By the way, I'm Quinn Lovett, and this is Yancy Hull, Quinn said. "I'll remember your names, but I really replied.

accept the gift, and I won't be going to dinner. I'm genuinely busy." Daphne

"That's fine. We'll be on our way then. The two boys quickly left, leaving the gift behind.

Asher watched this unfold and walked up to her. "Hey, Daphne.

Surprised by Asher's sudden appearance, Daphine froze for a moment. "Why are you here?"

Her expression darkened.

Asher looked at the bags in her hand. "Looks like you're quite popular now."

Daphne forced a smile. "They insisted on giving it to me. I didn't want to accept it."

"If you really didn't want it, you shouldn't have taken it in the first place." Asher felt a bit annoyed with her behavior. "I heard you're Lysander's girlfriend now. Since when did you and Lysander get together?" "That's none of your business," Daphne said, unable to meet his gaze. "Our relationship is over."

"When did we ever break up?" Asher looked at Daphne, unwilling to accept this. "Didn't you say you liked me a lot these past few years? Do you not feel that way anymore?"

Daphne

felt irritated that he kept bringing up their past. However, in front of him, she could only endure it.

She tried to sound pitiful. "During the graduation party, your dad said those things about me not being good enough for you. Should I just cling to you?

"Even if I were with you now, my parents wouldn't support it. Asher, I've become a joke to so many people because of you My parents asked me to block you. What am I supposed to do? Are you seriously blaming me now?" As Daphne spoke, her eyes began to redden.

Asher looked at Daphne, recalling the embarrassing things his father had said back then.

He softened his tone. "I'm not expecting you to want to reconcile. After all, no one would want someone to know what's going on between you and Lysander. Are you really with him?"

like me.

I just want

"You don't need to worry about that," Daphne replied. "It's just rumors floating around. I never said I was with Lysander."

"So it's all fake? Why don't you clarify?" Asher asked.

"Why should I clarify?" Daphne retorted. "I haven't said anything Why should I care what others think? Am I supposed to explain myself to everyone every day instead of doing my own work?" Seeing Asher remain silent, Daphne added, "Alright, I'm heading back now."

With that, she turned and walked away, still holding the gifts the two boys had given her.

Lysander was busy. And at school, everyone was saying that Daphine was Lysander's girlfriend. Her roommates felt that Elara was the one being left behind, andthey would comfort Elara whenever they saw her. Elara found it hard to deal with them, so she decided to go out for dinner with her cousin to change her mood and enjoy some good food.

Natalie Jarvis, Harold's daughter, was two years older than Elara Noticing Elara staring at her outfit, Natalie looked down at her clothes. "What's wrong with my outfit? Why are you staring at me?" "You have the exact same dress!" Elara couldn't help but exclaim

"Oh? Have you seen this dress somewhere else?" Natalie laughed

Elara nodded. "I saw someone wearing it before."

On Jacqueline's birthday, Daphne had worn this very dress. To Elara's surprise, Natalie was wearing the same outfit today at their dinner.

"That's impossible." Natalie chuckled. "This dress is one of a kind I had it custom-made and haven't worn it until now. How could someone else possibly have it?"

"No way, it's exactly the same." Elara insisted. She leaned in closer, reaching out to touch the fabric. "There's no way I'd mistake it. Even the texture is identical"

Natalie shook her head. "It must be that your studies are too demanding, which caused you to missee. Law courses are tough, huh?

"Anyway, are you coming with me this weekend or not? You've been in Starfield City for a while now. You should meet some people, instead of locking yourself away all the time." "Sure." It was rare for Natalie to invite her out, and Flara figured it was a good idea to make some friends in Starfield Cine After all, it wouldn't hurt for people to know who she was Otherwise, every time Elara claimed to be Lysander's girlfriend, she'd have to go out of her way to prove

After dinner, Natalie dropped Elara back at her dorm before heading home. As Naulie changed out of her clothes, she couldn't help but think about what Elara had said. She started rummaging through her closet. "Come here, Nora, Natalie called out

Soon, a middle-aged woman appeared at the door. "Yes, Miss Jargis?"

"Where's my gold gown? I clearly remember hanging it here. It's one of my favorite dresses. Why can't replace it?" Natalie asked.

Hearing this, a subtle trace of unease flickered across the wofnar's face, though she quickly replied, "It looked a bit dirty the last time I saw it, so I sent it out to be cleaned."

"Looks like I won't be able to wear it this weekend." Natalie sighed

Saturday evening arrived quickly. Elara followed Natalie into the banquet hall, where Natalie introduced her to several people, including some celebrities. Chapter 75

Natalie, being Harold's daughter, was well-connected.

Though the Jarvis family wasn't exactly aristocracy, Harold owned an estate and often hosted gatherings for the elite of Starfield City. He had close ties with many influential people, including Felicity.

As a result, most people were more than willing to show him respect. Naturally, this meant Natalie was well-known too.

After making the rounds, the two finally took a break. Natalie handed Elara a drink. "Tired?"

Elara shook her head. I'm fine."

Just as she spoke, a flash of gold caught her eye. Daphne had appeared, wearing a stunning gold gown, with Jacqueline by her side.

Jacqueline was busy introducing Daphne to others, and despite this being Daphne's first time at such an event, she seemed unfazed. In no time, she had exchanged contact information with several people. "What are you looking at?" Natalie asked when she noticed Elaras distraction. She followed Elara's gaze and froze.

There, in the middle of the crowd, was the gold gown that had mysteriously disappeared from Natalie's closet a few days ago, now being worn by another woman.

"Isn't that Nora's daughter? Natalie wondered. How did my dress end up on her?

Natalie didn't hesitate. She strode across the room, her heels clicking loudly on the floor. Seeing her marching off. Elara quickly followed..

Natalie grabbed Daphne's arm without warning. Daphne, who had been in mid-conversation, was taken aback by the sudden,

action.

"You, come with me," Natalie said, dragging Daphne who was bewildered off to the side.

Jacqueline hurried after them. "What's going on, Miss Jarvis?"

Recognizing Natalie, Jacqueline instinctively shrunk back.

Natalie, however, ignored everyone else, her focus solely on Daphne. "Where did you get that dress? How is my gown on you?" SEND GIFT
