It was just that before Lily had given the order to pull out her nails in prison, she had never known that people could be so vicious!

“In my opinion, compared to her sister’s death, she would probably have been happier if you had been the one to pass away.” Lina’s furious expression had yet to fade. “When you were sentenced back then, it wasn’t even a month before Lily and Sean got together. With that speed, I don’t believe that Lily didn’t have any feelings for Sean in the past.”

“This shows that the relationship between Sean and me in the past was insignificant. I know that now. And so does the whole world. When I needed him most, he abandoned me and sided

“How’s that?” Lina was incredulous.

“By showing me who my true friends really are.”

Lina’s eyes were misted with tears.

Grace clasped her hand and squeezed. “You’ve been a good

friend to me. I hope you know how much I love and appreciate

you.”
