Ariana and Allison agreed to meet at the school gate. Unexpectedly, Allison did not show up, but Beverly did.
Their paths crossed, and Beverly stood before Ariana, looking quite pleased with herself.
Ariana raised a brow, she was not oblivious to the news of Beverly and Griffin recently. However, Ariana felt something was off about it. She had already sent someone to investigate, but there hasn't been any information yet.
Beverly held her chin high, an air of smugness about her, "Ariana, the man who liked you, didn't he still end up with me?"
Ariana found herself at a loss for words, then responded casually, "As long as the man I like hasn't taken a liking to you, it's okay. I'll wish you well if you and Griffin are in love."
"Really? What if Lambert one day decides he doesn't want you? Will you still act so indifferent then?" Beverly mocked.
Ariana smirked, "Feelings are complicated, I can't say for sure whether Lambert and I will part ways or not. Just like how you, no matter how much effort you put in, can't be with Lambert."
"You..."
Beverly was so angry that she gritted her teeth in frustration. After recovering, she sneered, "I am with Griffin now! Regardless, Griffin is not inferior to Lambert, and you, Lambert is naturally a playboy, soon he'll start to grow tired of you!"
Allison had just finished her tasks and was moving down the stairs, she saw Ariana and Beverly talking at the school gate. She heard a few phrases as she was approaching.
She heard Beverly mocking Ariana, unable to resist her temper, she spoke out loud, "Yo! I was wondering why it was smelling so bad. It turns out to be the shameless individual who forcibly wanted to get engaged."
Beverly paused, hearing the sarcastic voice from behind, she subconsciously looked back. Seeing it was Ariana's good friend, Allison, her face turned dark instantly.
The people around hearing this all turned to look at Beverly, faces filled with curiosity.
Ariana didn't expect Allison to witness this scene. Hearing her so sharply rebuke Beverly, she couldn't help but laugh.
Beverly shouted in exasperation, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Allison laughed, "I'm talking nonsense? Your parents and the old man from the Stone family forced Lambert to marry you, even citing 'parental orders and elder's words'! Do you think we're living in ancient society?"
Beverly said, "No matter what, our families agreed on it. How could it have been settled had he not agreed?"
"He agreed? How come there was no news of any engagement until the end?" Allison raised an eyebrow.
She paused slightly and bitingly said, "If not for Ariana, Lambert and I would definitely be engaged!"
Ariana calmly said, "Even without me, Lambert wouldn’t marry you. Besides, since you're with Griffin, isn't it inappropriate for you to still have feelings for my husband?"
Beverly, angered till her face grimaced, "Ariana...you..."
Everyone began to discuss after hearing Beverly's words.
"Did I hear wrong? What era are we in, and 'parental orders' still exist?"
"Exactly! I think the main issue is that both sets of parents were irresponsible. How could they forcefully arrange a marriage without the couple’s consent? The awkward situation now serves them right."
"Eh.., I think Beverly is the weird one. The guy is already married. Why is she still clinging onto this matter?"
"Wait! Didn't she recently get together with a guy?"
