The man she once thought she'd spend her life with was dressed in a sharp black suit, his hair slicked back without a strand falling out of place. He looked even more polished now, exuding confidence and authority.
And walking beside him, laughing softly with her hand wrapped around his arm, was Lila Meng.
Snow Jiang's jaw clenched tightly. Lila Meng, her best friend, who used to swear loyalty, who called her sister, who once cried in her arms about betrayal, was now smiling like a queen with the man she had stolen.
Lila's dark brown hair was styled in soft waves, her dress shimmering under the light. Every step she took echoed arrogance and triumph.
The women around Snow Jiang followed her gaze, and a murmur rippled through the circle.
"Isn't that the young master of the Chen family?" one of them whispered.
"Watch your tone ladies, he is the CEO of the Chen company," Vivian Hao said, her lips curling into a smirk. "And he just signed a partnership with the Gu family."
