Chapter 2

Briony blinked, her eyes welling up as she grabbed Noella’s arm.

“Sis, I know you dig Milford, but you know damn well Milford and I are head over heels for each other. Please don’t break us up! What the heck did you say to Milford yesterday? He’s been ghosting me all day.”

Noella frowned, giving her wrist, which Briony was squeezing, a cold glance.

“Slipped my mind. Some dude wanted to add me on WhatsApp yesterday, but I didn’t give it to him. So that was your boo, huh?”

“What did you say?”

Noella looked at her with a pitying gaze. She can’t fathom what’s so great about that oddball.

Milford’s got a bunch of honeys, sweethearts, and darlings in his phone. March ‘em all out, and they could put on a whole women’s soccer match for Briony right there. All with similar mugs. same series as Briony’s. Anyone would think he’s into stamp collecting.

Seeing that look in Noella’s eyes, Briony’s pride was deeply wounded.

What gave her the right! She’s the real Ms. Lambert now! Why the hell is this imposter still looking down on her with pity?

A fierce jealousy flashed in Briony’s eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of Belinda approaching, she nimbly tripped herself and went down.

“Ah! Sis, why did you push me!”

Noella was speechless.

Belinda rushed over to her precious daughter sprawled on the ground, scolding Noella as she helped Briony up.

“Noella! She’s your sister, for crying out loud! Don’t you have a heart?”

Noella looked at Briony bawling in Belinda’s arms with indifference.

“I’m perfectly sane, thank you. You two might want to look after yourselves first.”

Belinda was baffled. “What do you mean? How on earth did I raise a kid like you?”
