Chapter 59

Early the next morning, I told Lyla Thad a class and asked her to sleep in. I promised that I'd pick her up afterward and that we'd go out together.

When I got to school, I asked someone for Leah's number and texted her. Lasked if she could meet me in the woods behind the playground.

It didn't take long before Leah arrived. She was dressed beautifully today, almost like a fairy. It was strange how someone who looked so innocent and kind could have such an evil heart

I couldn't understand. It was just because of a man. If he was meant to be hers, he would be. What was the point of going to such lengths to get him if he wasn't?

Leah approached me with a smug look on her face. "Evelyn, are you looking for-"

The sound of my palm connecting with her face broke the stillness of the air. Leah instinctively covered her face and was momentarily stunned.

She looked at me incredulously and said, "Evelyn, how dare you hit me?"

I watched impassively as the innocent, fragile look on Leah's face gave way to anger and malice. Unwilling to be outdone, Leah raised her hand and tried to strike back, but I grabbed her wrist.

1 looked at her coldly and said, "Leah, I've warned you many times. Stop your little games

"This slap serves as both a warning and payback for the one Lyla got yesterday"

"How dare you hit me?" Leah exclaimed, tugging at her wrist repeatedly but unable to break tree. She repeated almost word for word, "Ethan is already with me. I'm about to become part of the Grayson family. "For this slap, I'll make sure to get my revenge on you and the Wiley family tenfold in the future."

I shook her off and smiled at her. "We'll see about that."

Leah was thrown off balance and fell to the ground, her fairy-like appearance replaced by a pathetic figure.

She glared at me viciously and asked, "Evelyn, what are you so proud of? Ethan doesn't like you, and you're nothing. Why are you acting so tough?"

"You're right." I looked down at her with a smirk. "If Ethan doesn't like me, why are you so stressed about it?" with that, I turned around and left. When I got back from school, Lyla was already awake. We freshened up, changed into nice clothes, applied some makeup, and headed out

Since Lala was practically a local in Napel, she took charge of planning our itinerary.

She took me hiking in a beautiful mountain. We also visited a famous old bookstore, explored some historic mansions, and tried all sorts of local delicacies

After a few days of sightseeing, I had a hundred times more fun than when Liam brought me here just to buy a house.

Not only was it fun, but the food was amazing too! In just two days, both Lyla and I gained two

o pounds

Lyla's visit happened to tall on a Friday and Saturday. I had a part-time job that night, and since her face hadn't fully healed, she couldn't go to her grandfather's. So, she came to my workplace instead I changed into my performance outfit and took the

the stage while Lyla watched from the audience. The restaurant was quite upscale, and its patrons were all wealthy or influential. About an hour into my performance, a 200-pound man dressed in designer brands suddenly walked toward ine The smell of alcohol was overwhelming, and the next moment, half of his body was draped across the piano. Suddenly, a piercing sound echoed through the restaut ant

I had already stepped back as soon as I saw him approaching He ruffled his almost nonexistent hair and gave me a lewd smile

"Hey, beautiful How much do you get paid to perform here? Why not go on a date with me? I'll offer you ten times your current salty." Atter he finished speaking, he burped.
