Everyone turned to look at the speaker, Halle Parker. She was also their classmate, but compared to Yanina, she had always been the runner–up in the entire business faculty.
In terms of looks, Yanina was first, and she was second. In terms of grades, Yanina was first, and she was second. In terms of talent. Yanina was first, and she was second.
Because of Yanina, Halle’s four years in college
e were filled with dreary memories. With someone in first place, no one noticed the one in second.
Gregory chased Vanina, Royce liked Yanina, and the teachers all favored Yanina. It seemed like every good thing was just out of Halle’s reach, with fate always favoring Yanina
Finally, she managed to get through until graduation and entered a new environment. But it wasn’t even a year before a coworker came with Yanina’s photo and asked her about Yanina. I heard Yanina was also a graduate of Yvale University’s Management Department. Do you know her? Can you introduce me to her?”
Even after graduation, Halle still couldn’t escape the curse brought by Yanina. Now she finally got a chance to tease Yanina. how could she let it go?
This topic instantly grabbed everyone’s attention at the reunion. They all knew Yanina was CrimsonSnow, the most popular influencer right now. They also knew about her recent news as the other woman in a relationship. But as old classmates, no one dared to ask directly.
Unexpectedly, Halle brought it up at the reunion to embarrass Yanina.
Yetta glanced at Halle, almost ready to scold her.
Byron looked awkward, not knowing what to say,
For a moment, the situation was hard to handle.
In the end, it was Royce who stepped in to smooth things over. Social media stars need drama to stay relevant. Maybe it’s just someone the company hired to stir up buzz for Yanina, Royce said diplomatically. “Don’t take it too seriously.”
As Royce finished speaking, the others around quickly chimed in.
“Yeah, totally just hype.”
“Yanina’s livestreams are booming. Why would she need to be someone’s mistress?”
“We’re all old classmates. Let’s talk about something cheerful.”
Yetta gave Halle a disdainful glance, saying, “Yanina makes her living with her talent. One of her paintings can be sold for millions! Halle, no matter how envious you are, you can’t reach that level. You’re just spreading gossip to slander Yanina. That’s not cool!”
Halle rolled her eyes and turned to whisper to some classmates, So what if she made a lot of money? Isn’t she just someone’s mistress?”
“Someone’s backing her up!”
“Otherwise, how would she be this popular?”
“She’s a bitch but pretends to be virtuous!”
Their whispers were quiet but loud enough for others nearby to hear.

Royce wanted to stop them, but Yanina pulled him back and said. “Let it go. People can say whatever they want. I don’t care. There are so many haters trashing me on my livestreams every day. If I argued with all of them, I’d be exhausted”
Royce’s face was surly, but he didn’t say anything.
The door to the room was open, and just as Yanina held Yetta back, Cameron and Zak walked by,
Cameron saw Yanina close to another man and frowned deeply
Zak quickly explained from the side. “It’s a college reunion! Mr. Zamora, it’s not like what you think.”
Cameron glanced at Zak. Cameron knew it was a college reunion, but seeing Yanina with another man just annoyed him. “This meal’s on me. Tell the restaurant I’ll cover the bill.”
“Got it!” Zak rushed downstairs, and the lobby manager quickly went to greet him. “Zak, what can I do for you?”
Zak pointed towards room 9. “The bill of this room will be paid by Mr. Zamora. If anyone asks, just say Ms. Fulbright picked. up the tab.
“What?” The lobby manager looked puzzled. “Zak, the bill for this room’s already been paid with a deposit of 70 thousand
dollars.
“Who b
booked it?” Zak asked.
The lobby manager said. “No name was left, just a phone number*
Zak frowned, thinking, ‘No big deal. I’ll wait here today. Let me see who has the nerve to compete with Cameron on his
turf!
After a while, a purple sports car pulled up at the entrance. Gregory, with his slightly blonde hair, wearing a trendy casual outfit and holding a large bouquet of red roses, walked in confidently.
Zak glanced at him, thinking. It’s him! Right, who else would be so flashy?”
Zak watched Gregory head upstairs without any change in expression. Once Gregory was in the private room, Zak turned to the lobby manager and instructed, “When I give the signal, we’ll pull a trick on him.”
After some whispered instructions, the lobby manager immediately understood and quickly got someone to carry it out.
Meanwhile, Gregory entered the private room, and the whole class went crazy when they saw him.
“Hey, the big shot Gregory’s here!”
“Gregory!”
“Wow, such a secret! I never knew the Guzman Group was your family’s!”
Yetta, Yanina, and Royce exchanged looks, all of them silent but haring a knowing smile.
They knew people often looked down on the weak and idolized the strong, but witnessing it firsthand was still a bit hard to take
Is the Guzman Group worth their obsequiousness? Yanina, bring out your ex–husband! Show them something impressive!”
Yetta exclaimed
“Don’t be ridiculous! Yanina shot Yetta a look, sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and began to sip it slowly. After some usual small talk, Gregory placed a large bouquet of flowers in front of Yanina. “For you, Yaninal”
