Chapter 8 Did You Get Yourself a Sugar Daddy

Upon returning to Deacon Town, Tamara knew she would run into Lily sooner or later, but she neverthought that would happen so soon. With her eyes now as frosty as frozen ice, she let out a sneer.“How could I be dead when you’re still alive? Oh, right, I forgot that a scourge never dies. But don’t yousuffer from nightmares during the night over these years for what you did, Miss Hardy?” With a slightcurl of her red lips, she rested her chin in one hand, her eyes ablaze with hatred, while her other handballed tightly into a fist by her side. Even for a second, she never dared to forget the torture she hadsuffered in those days.“You…” Lily took a deep breath to refrain from breaking into curses. She wishedshe could tear Tamara to pieces right then and there, but she didn’t want to lose her manners in public.Having no other choice, she suppressed her anger for the time being while turning to the saleswomannext to them. “What’s going on here?”The saleswoman answered, “Mrs. Hardy, I showed them aroundthe houses, but they seem to think that the houses are… overpriced.” She wasn’t an idiot, so she, ofcourse, could tell that Lily and Tamara were on bad terms. On top of being the future wife of HardyGroup’s owner, Lily was now the person in charge of the Royale Garden housing project. Naturally, thesaleswoman wouldn’t let go of such a great opportunity to ingratiate herself with her.“Overpriced? Ha!”Lily let out a sneer, raising her head slightly to turn up her nose at Tamara. Then, she mocked withdisrespect in a sarcastic tone, “Looking around at villas when you’re penniless, eh? What’s the point ofkeeping up appearances when you can’t afford to do so?” Well, Tamara was lucky to have survived thefire by escaping back then, but who does she think she is, matching herself against me? I’m now thefuture wife of the Hardy Group’s owner, with a listed company under my name and a net worth of tensof billions. And Tamara? She’s nothing but a maggot in the stinking sewers.Tamara ran her fingersthrough her well-maintained hair as arrogance showed in her eyes. “Tsk! Furnished, you say? Thefurnishings are substandard, and the drains are clogged. Even its property management is practicallynonexistent. How could you have the cheek to brag that your residential area is a villa area when thecars going in and out of here don’t even go through proper security checks? Well, this housing area isjust like the person who developed it; it’s really as cheap as you are. It seems to me that you guys are

just crying up wine and selling vinegar.”She didn’t lower her voice as she spoke, and the sarcasm inher words was evident. As a result, most of the other customers in the sales office turned to look ather.Lily’s face instantly turned livid one moment and pale the next. The others might have no ideaabout it, but she knew that Tamara’s sarcastic remarks were actually directed at her. During those dayswhen she was still known as Evan’s younger sister, she and Evan couldn’t make their relationshippublic despite being mutually in love. At that time, she could only follow Tamara around to see more ofher beloved man.At this moment, Lily was grinding her teeth with hatred, but she couldn’t argue withTamara in front of outsiders. Bottling up her resentment, she answered back with a sneer, “Ha! What adeliberately fault-replaceing poor wretch! You’ve really become much greater at shooting your mouth offsince I last saw you a few years ago, no? How dare a madwoman from an asylum buy a house at ourRoyale Garden? Did you get yourself a sugar daddy or something?”As she spoke, she darted a glanceat Frank, who stood beside Tamara quietly the whole time. The man seemed very busy as he replied totext messages from time to time. Lily quickly compared him to the list of upper-class people in DeaconTown in her mind, but she didn’t remember such a guy among the town’s upper-class circles.The manwas standing beside Tamara. With his tall frame and cool demeanor, he would give the wrongimpression that he was embracing Tamara just by standing behind the woman, and his dominatingpresence was so suffocating that Lily had a hard time catching her breath.The sight of the couple’sintimate gesture instantly got on Lily’s nerves and filled her with jealousy. To think that the b*tchescaped death and even hooked up with such a fine guy! Seriously, I wonder who’s the blind one here,she thought.On the other hand, Tamara felt a prick in her heart when she heard the word “madwoman.”She said coldly, “Do I have to get myself a sugar daddy to be rich?”
