Chapter 123
After a couple of glasses of wine, Selina cozied up to Leanne with an ear
expression
“Look, I know I messed up. I’ve been at home, doing some serious thinking. Whatever’s going on between you and Suzan is your business, and it shouldn’t mess with our friendship.”
Leanne remained noncommittal, simply stating, “You’re the one caught in the middle, Selina. Make your own choice. As far as I’m concerned, you and Suzan are two separate
matters.”
Selina’s eyes welled up with gratitude, “Leanne you’re an angel. Jeremy even lectured me the other day, told me I was being petty and that I should learn from your generosity.
Leanne quipped, “I’m generous with people who don’t matter.”
Selina’s smile froze, and she felt as if she were cracking open on the spot. “So I’m someone who doesn’t matter?”
Leanne laughed and playfully tapped her on the head, “I’m just teasing you.
Selina became even more attentive, offering up pizza for Leanne to indulge in..
Jeremy couldn’t stand it anymore, “You’ve never been this attentive to Mom and Dad.”
“What do you know? Leanne’s hands are meant for saving lives in surgery, not for
ing around with these petty things.”

You just touched your feet and didn’t wash your hands.” she finally said.
Selina was speechless.
Joy leaned in and snatched her pizza.
“So, you realize your mistake now? Why did it take you so long to come and apologize?”
Selina, about to explode with anger, immediately toned it down and whispered, “Well, Suzan had her cosmetic surgery a few days ago. She was a bit nervous and asked me to stay with her for a couple of days.”
“Oh, so she suddenly remembers she has a friend when she needs one? Where was she when you were in the hospital? So funny!”
“What do you want me to do? I can’t just cut Suzan off. We’ve known each other for years, and we’re close.”
Joy scoffed, “You treat her like a treasure, but does she even care about you? If it weren’t

for us, do you think she’d give you the time of day?”
Selina bristled, “Stop being sarcastic. Suzan’s not like that. Aside from being with Leanne, she’s actually a nice person.”
“Nice? You know so little about your dear friend.”
Joy grabbed Leanne’s phone from the couch and unlocked it with the password.
Selina was a bit jealous, “You even know her phone passcode?”
“I know her bank PIN too.”
Leanne had enough of their bickering, “Next time you touch my phone, could you at least wash your hands?”
“Just a sec, I’ll sanitize it for you,” Joy said, opening up Leanne’s Twitter and heading. towards Suzan’s page, giving Selina a challenging nod.
“Open your phone, and let’s compare side by side.”
Confused, Selina did as instructed, pulling up Suzan’s Twitter on her own device and holding it up next to Leanne’s.
“Huh? I never saw this skiing post on her feed. Selina was confused.
“Don’t rush, keep scrolling.”
As Selina scrolled down, her expression shifted to one of bewilderment.

lina clung to denial, “Maybe she’s got a special group I’m not part of.”
Joy rolled her eyes, saying, “She set those posts to be seen only by Anne. Wake up.
Selina looked at Leanne, who seemed unfazed clearly already aware.
Leanne and Suzan had mutual friends like Devin and Skyler, who religiously liked and commented on Suzan’s posts, except for the ones about Curtis, which Devin conveniently ignored as if he were blind.
Leanne was no fool, and she could see what was going on.
“I remember this one,” Selina said abruptly, pointing to a photo from over two years ago.
“It was when Curtis
s had just moved to Starlake. Devin was moping around like he’d been dumped because Curtis wouldn’t come back for his birthday. So, he dragged us all to Starlake to celebrate. Everyone was there that day.”
