My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1012

Snorting because she felt provoked by my words, she jeered, "There's no need for you to act so magnanimously. Playing hard to get is effective sometimes, but once it gets overused, guys will only hate you more. Don't think that I do not know what you're trying to do here, pushing Hendrix away so he'll want you more. Amazing, Arianna!"

I laughed. What else was there to do? I tilted my head and looked at her. I couldn't help but say, "Miss Zanes, you are really a genius. I have never really thought I was so devious. Restraining him in order to harness more desire, huh! It really sounds like that."

Her cynicism painted all over her face, she said, "That's true too, with your looks, I would have never thought you'd use such low, cunning methods. Why would Hendrix ever look at you? What did you do to make Hendrix fall in love with you? It's just because you met him before me. If I had met him at the same time you did, I'm afraid that you'd never have had a chance."

As she boasted on, Rowane's confidence and satisfaction grew. The mockery in her words sent my blood boiling. "You are so much less impressive than you think, Arianna. If you were to get together with someone ordinary, that would be fine. But with Hendrix? Honestly, you just can't keep up. Being an orphan, you really aren't a good fit for Hendrix at all."

Honesty, what she said made me really angry. To think I actually admired her academic brilliance and good looks.

Suppressing my anger, I beamed at her, "To tell you the truth, Miss Zanes, I've always admired you, you are smart, beautiful, and outspoken. You're just the type of girl that everyone will love. But after hearing what you said just now, I realized that you actually need to spend time with a person to truly understand them, in and out."

"Higher education can't guarantee good character, a beautiful appearance can't guarantee excellence. For instance, a girl like you, hanging out together for a short time would be enough. If anyone were to spend more than a day with you, your true colors would show too much. It's certainly annoying."

"You..." She was so angry that her face turned purple. At this moment, if it weren't for the many men around her, she probably would have pushed me into the pool.

A bolt of satisfaction shot thorugh me and I sighed internally then stood up, preparing to leave.

But it seemed like I underestimated her anger, She stood up too and blocked my path. If looks could kill, her sinister smile would've set me on fire just then. She looked down on me and mocked, "Arianna, how dare you say that my attitude is bad? Do you think you're all that? Who do you think you are? You are infertile! You can't even protect your own child. You are really amusing!"

I gave her a frigid look. "It seems like you know a lot about me. It must have been a lot of trouble for you then, to have put in so much effort and time to know as much as you do, thank you so much!"

She snorted. "Do you really think that Hendrix will continue to throw himself at you? Sooner or later, he'll change his tune!"

I nodded casually in a show of agreement. "Well, I wish you the best!"

Fury twisted her features and rage radiated out from her.
