“Yulia, we really did have guests last night,” Quincy explained earnestly. “It wasn’t on purpose. I didn’t mean to turn you away. Please don’t be mad.”

“I’m not mad,” Yulia said calmly.

“Come on. We’re best friends–I know when you’re mad.”

But Yulia’s tone remained cool and detached. “I really am not angry.”

Quincy could tell she was still upset.

“Let me treat you to dinner,” she offered.

“No, thanks. I need to go home and practice piano.”

“You can practice after.”

Yulia was about to say something when she spotted Jake approaching, one hand lazily slung over his backpack strap.

He glanced at them and scoffed, “Move it, losers.”

Quincy frowned and stood up for her friend. “Jake, that’s way out of line! Yulia’s your sister. You shouldn’t talk to her like that.”

Jake gave Quincy a sideways glance, eyes full of disdain.

“None of your damn business. Get lost, bumpkin.”

“You-!”

Quincy’s face turned bright red.

“You’re unbelievably rude!”

Jake looked her up and down, then sneered. “And who the hell are you to tell me how to behave? Country trash like even worth my time.”

you isn’t

Then he turned to Yulia. “You’re unbelievable too. No wonder Mom and Dad can’t stand you. Your taste is garbage. What kind of idiot hangs out with a hick like her?”

Yulia said nothing from beginning to end.

Quincy was on the verge of tears.

Her family wasn’t rich like the Moores or the other elite circles, but they were still solid middle–class. They had a house, a car, food on the table–comfortably well–off.

And yet Jake had the nerve to call her a bumpkin?

It was infuriating.

She took a moment to calm herself, then turned to Yulia gently. “Are you okay?”

Yulia smiled faintly. “I’m used to it.”

“My heart breaks for you. Having a brother like that… You should push back. You’re his older sister–you have every right to discipline him. Jake’s way out of control.”

“wouldn’t dare,” Yulia said quietly. “Say one wrong word and I get chewed out by my parents. Jake’s their golden boy. I’m not even allowed to criticize him.”

Your parents are so biased!”

Yulia didn’t respond. She’d said enough. Talking to Quincy any further was pointless.

“I really do have to practice. If I don’t, my mom will start yelling again.”

Quincy sighed. “Alright. Next time, then.”

Yulia gave her a polite smile and walked into the house.

The moment the door shut behind her, the smile vanished.

Jake was a little monster, no question–but he wasn’t wrong. If she wanted to change her fate, she couldn’t keep hanging around people like Quincy.

Someone like Quincy had no power, no connections, and no value to offer. If Yulia wanted to improve her life, she needed to make friends with elite daughters from real families–the ones who could actually help her get ahead.

In the living room, Grace said to Darren, “Honey, I heard Mr. Errol is throwing his eightieth birthday party tomorrow. Bring me with you. I want to network with the other society wives.”

Darren considered it for a moment, then nodded. “Sure. Getting close to them could benefit the company.”

“Exactly.”

Yulia walked over. “Mom, Dad–I want to go too.”

Darren immediately frowned. “What for? Stay home.”

Grace spoke up. “Let her come. She’s clearly got no chance with Xavier anymore. There’ll be plenty of eligible bachelors at the party. I’ll help her find someone decent.”

Darren nodded in agreement. “Alright. Whatever you think.”

Grace looked Yulia over and said, “Then ‘dress up properly tomorrow. Don’t embarrass us.”

Yulia didn’t like the way she said it, but she still nodded.

She didn’t need the reminder. She would dress her best.

“Mom, can I borrow your jewelry set?”

Grace thought for a moment, then waved her off. “Fine. But be careful. Don’t damage it—and don’t you dare lose anything.”

“Got it.”

Yulia beamed.

It was rare for Grace to be this generous with her.
