Chapter 93 You Are Not Good Enough for Me
Unexpectedly, Bennett and Claire drew identical cards in the first round.
Everyone in the room exclaimed in excitement as the cards were shown.
"Wow! Mr. Shaffer and Claire have a match. Is this just a coincidence?"
"Into the container room! Into the container room..."
"Into the container room!"
"..."
Catalina looked at the black and red jokers in Bennett's and Claire's hands, feeling complicated.
She forced herself not to care about it.
However, she couldn't even dare to look at Bennett who was sitting across from her, fearing that she would catch even the slightest hint of pleasure in his eyes.
Bennett, though he had drawn the joker card, still had a blank face.
It seemed that he was not surprised by this result at all.
He stood up and gave Darnell, who was controlling the game, a cold warning glance.
Darnell, with a stalk of grass in his mouth smirked indifferently and said, "Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer on having a hot night."
The term "Mrs. Shaffer" made Catalina's heart twist into a knot.
That was how Darnell used to call her.
Now, he easily called someone else by the same appellation, but she still felt awkward and uncomfortable.
With her legs crossed, Catalina lowered her head, staring at her toes.
Claire, with a shy look on her face, tucked her hair behind her ear and said, "Lina, excuse me for leaving first."
Before leaving, she patted Catalina's shoulder to remind her, as if she was afraid that Catalina didn't know what was going on.
"...Okay."
Catalina replied with a forced smile.
But she knew that her smile at this moment must have looked very stiff.
After Claire left, Emery kept rolling her eyes. "What kind of friend is she? She was clearly showing off to you just now! You treat her as a friend, but she doesn't treat you the same way."
Catalina rested her head on her knees and felt a mix of emotions.
She and Claire had gone through many things together since high school.
Back then, Catalina was isolated by her classmates because she was from a poor family, and only Claire was willing to be her friend despite her status and other classmates' contempt.
At that time, Catalina thought that no matter what happened, she would always be Claire's best friend.
However, she didn't expect that they would both fall in love with the same man.
One became the love of his life.
The other became his spouse.
To be honest, how many friendships could withstand such a cruel test?
Catalina watched as Claire, holding Bennett's arm, walked to the room with him.
The door slammed shut.
They entered the room.
Catalina's heart trembled and ached for a moment.
Hastily, she looked away.
But her eyes accidentally met Darnell’s face, who was standing on the other side with a mischievous grin.
He looked at her with a flighty expression, as if he were asking her whether she felt heartbroken.
