"Is there something wrong with that girl? I saw her smashing the plate on purpose."

Sylvia did not care about anything else. She rushed back inside and hid in the bathroom. Then, she took out her phone and scrolled through the Internet. She was so furious that she clenched her fist and threw her phone when she confirmed that the news she just saw was indeed true.

Thud!

The phone smashed against the mirror, and it made a huge clattering sound. It shattered around the basin.

However, even this couldn't help her vent her anger. She continued to scroll through her phone and stared at the screen, which showed Minerva in a gown.

In the photo, Minerva's skin was fair, and her neck was slender. Every part of her body looked delicate.

All of this was supposed to be hers!

Sylvia was tearing up. She raised her cell phone and smashed it against the mirror repeatedly.

Thud!

Thud! Thud!

The loud commotion kept echoing inside the bathroom.

The staff members outside couldn't help frowning when they heard the loud noise.

"What's that sound? It should be coming from the bathroom."

"Shh, shut up. Who else dares to be so arrogant except that b*tch? I guess she had smashed all of the mirrors in that bathroom."

"What are you worried about? She is not afraid of breaking every mirror in the bathroom. At most, she would just compensate for it with money."

"That's true. Even if she breaks down the entire restaurant, everything would be fine after a good night's sleep."

Sylvia kept smashing the glass like a maniac, as if she was possessed. She felt her finger aching, and she finally came back to her senses. When she glanced at the mirror, she realized that she had broken every mirror in the bathroom, and her hand was bruised from all that smashing.

The bright red blood pulled her back to reality.

Sylvia glanced at her bloody palm and the broken mirrors. She bit her lower lip in anger.

Why?

It's unfair.

Why was Minerva so lucky? Sylvia had been acting for such a long time, but Quill still treated her lukewarmly. Then, when she told Maddox that she was pregnant with his child, he did not believe her either.

But Minerva?

She remarried. She was also pregnant with an illegitimate child when she married Maddox. However, he still fell in love with her.

What kind of world was this? Why were these men so pathetic?

Sylvia threw away the phone and touched her face.

Which part of her was not good enough?

Which part of her was incomparable to Minerva? Obviously, she was way better than her.

Why did fate favor Minerva so much?

Minerva sat on the sofa for a long time, and she didn't even realize that she had fallen asleep.

Looking at the phone again, she found that she had waited more than half an hour.

When she was working in the Yardley Corporation, she knew that a meeting could last for several hours. After all, they were considered a huge company, and many people would be involved in the meetings. She estimated that she would have to wait for Maddox until noon. However, she thought that it wouldn't be such a bad idea since they could head straight for lunch.

Hence, she got up and stretched. Then, she took her phone and went to the lounge.

She didn't know what was happening to her recently. Whenever she saw a sofa or a bed, she would feel drowsy. She wondered whether it was because she didn't have a good night's rest the night before. Minerva glanced at the bed in the lounge and felt sleepy. She headed straight for the bed and tucked herself in.

In an instant, she had fallen asleep.

Minerva didn't know how long she was fast asleep. Her phone vibrated, and her eyelashes fluttered. She then opened her eyes and looked at her phone.

It seemed that someone had sent her a message.

Rubbing her drowsy eyes, Minerva reached out to her phone to take a look.

Someone had indeed sent her a message, and the contents of the message...

Minerva glanced at it and thought that she had seen it wrongly. She read it carefully again before sitting up. She fell silent.

After a moment, she received another message again.

She was so drowsy at that moment. She doesn't have the time to care about such people messaging her after that person had done such threatening acts. Minerva simply put her phone aside, laid down and was about to fall asleep again.

Perhaps it was because she never replied to that person, so they started to feel anxious and directly called her.

Minerva felt a little helpless and picked up the call.

"What's the matter?"

Her voice was cold and livid.

Since five years ago, she and Sylvia were no longer friends. What Sylvia had done to her five years ago had contributed to them cutting off all ties.

"Kimberly..."

The word 'Kimberly' made Minerva's mood sour, and she seemed to be in a trance.

Suddenly, time seemed to flow backward. Back then, the two of them were still close friends. At that moment, they had a great relationship. They did everything together, including, sleeping, eating, and even bathing.

Back in those days, Sylvia had always vividly remembered the kindness Minerva had shown her, so she shared everything she had with her. The money she spent on Minerva was more than the money she spent on herself.

Back then, Minerva thought that she and Sylvia would be best friends forever.

However, she didn't expect that, even her identity... was snatched away.

Huh, what a joke.

"Don't call me that. I can't bear it."

Thinking of this, Minerva interrupted Sylvia in a cold voice.

The other end of the phone fell silent for a moment, and then it was filled with sobbing cries.

"Kimberly, are you still blaming me? What happened back then... I really didn't mean it. I know that I had messed up. It was all because I was confused back then. I really regretted it, so I kept making it up to you. You also know this clearly."

"Yeah."

Minerva's lips curled up, and her smile and tone were both mocking.

"I know this very well. You've always been kind to me. You would always include me in everything, and you would even buy things for me that you didn't own. Back then, I thought that we were good friends, but after everything happened, I realized that you are doing all of this just because you felt guilty. Because you were using my identity to buy stuff for yourself, you felt guilty. That's why you always buy things for me, right?"

"Kimberly... I know I was wrong. You are Miss Hanover now, and I... am nothing more than a clown. I'm suffering now. Please forgive me, okay?"

Minerva was speechless.

Her eyes narrowed a little.

She really didn't expect that Sylvia would come to beg for forgiveness.

She did not seem to be such a person who would beg for her forgiveness. Minerva squinted her eyes and asked disdainfully, "What do you want?"

"I, I just want to ask for your forgiveness. I really know that I am wrong, Kimberly. Can you meet up with me?"

Meet up with her?

"Now that things have escalated to this point, even if I am willing to meet you, what's the point? Sylvia, seeing that we were once such close friends, I don't care about all the things you did, including that time when you stalked me. But... If you repeat it, I'm going to sue you, and the next time we would be meeting, would be in court."
