Chapter 92 Know Your Place

Yvette rested her head on her hand, silently taking note of the information.

“I know the person he cares about is Vera. I heard she transferred to this school from Cloudburg Public School after an incident there,”

Eileen took a few bites. The clear broth seemed bland, lacking flavor, but the surroundings were pleasant, and the ingredients were fresh. The only downside was that the bone broth lacked proper seasoning, leaving the final taste a bit dull.

“Eric has moved out from home and is living with Vera. If you want to know about him, Vera knows him better than I do.”

Eileen’s words carried a hint of curiosity, wanting to gauge Yvette’s reaction. Yvette, twirling her long hair, shook her head disdainfully. “I feel like she’s too fake. You wouldn’t happen to… like Eric, too, would you?”

Eileen immediately denied, “He’s always been like a brother to me. I would never have feelings for my brother.”

Yvette, originally cautious, visibly relaxed. She patted her chest. “You scared me there. I thought you were into Eric like Vera. Well, in that case, you’re my best friend! Who knows, maybe we’ll become family in the future, and I’ll call you my sister.”

Eileen faintly smiled but remained silent.

Should she reveal Eric’s true nature to Yvette?

If she continued to get involved, she would only be giving Eric more opportunities.

Yvette was bound to be hurt.

Falling for him would have only made her increasingly unlike herself, trapped in a gilded cage, forever unable to touch freedom.

Eventually, she would find herself living in hell.

Forget it, I can barely keep myself afloat. Why bother about her? Whoever Eric wants to marry has nothing to do with me.

After the meal, Yvette bought her a cup of smoothie.
