The other girls looked at her, their eyes filled with sympathy for her.
Catching her fiancé cheating would be a tough pill to swallow for anyone.
"Serena, men are like that. They party hard and play around before marriage, but they settle down afterward," One of them offered her point of view.
"You guys aren't even officially married yet, let him go out and have his fun for a couple more years. By the time you graduate and become the lady of the McMillian family, let's see if those girls still dare to approach him," Another one suggested.
"Well, he is Romeo after all. These girls are all over him, but doesn't that just prove how outstanding he is?" Another one chimed in.
"Once he's had his fun, he'll realize that you're the best, and he'll focus all his attention on you," the last one assured her.
But those words of comfort didn't help Serena at all. She looked up, her eyes filled with sadness, and asked, "If I wasn't the heiress of the Collins family, would you all still be my friend?"
"Serena, what kind of question is that? We're friends with you because of your kindness, not because of your family background!" One of them retorted.
"Yeah, look at the heiress of the Bradshaw family in our school, I don't even bother to talk with her."
"Serena, are you hiding something? If there's anything troubling you, just tell us, and we'll help you solve it."
Serena wanted to speak up several times, but, in the end, she kept silent. She lost her appetite and just picked at her food.
On her way back to school, Serena received another call from Martha. Apparently, Romeo's parents were coming to visit in a day or two.
