She had barely spoken to the sales associate when she heard a sharp, mocking laugh dripping with malice.

Looking up, she locked eyes with Quincy–Mathilda’s closest friend.

One look at that face brimming with spite, and countless painful, humiliating memories crashed back into her mind.

In college, the three Ginger brothers had led the way in bullying her to avenge Mathilda

Privately, Mathilda and her clique had targeted her relentlessly and Quincy had been the most visus of

all.

Lily would never forget the time she had her period and Quincy, eager to others to assault her. They’d slapped a used sanitary pad onto her face, stole the restroom, and beaten her while laughing at her.

They had thrown filth and dirty water on her, too.

If she hadn’t fought desperately to shield her clothes, her dress would have been ruined beyond saving But even protecting her dress didn’t stop the hour–long torment from stabbing into her heart like poisoned needles.

“Well, well, look who it is. Turns out it’s James’s discarded trash–Lily!”

Quincy’s voice was loud and cutting. “Daring to compete with Mathilda for a man, no wonder James hated you and kicked you away! Ha! A disgusting, abandoned wife, a broke nobody–and you think you can buy two–million–dollar violet diamond earrings? This isn’t your favorite wholesale market. You didn’t mistake two million three hundred and eighty thousand for two dollars thirty, did you?”

Then, suddenly, she tipped her matcha latte all over Lily’s shoes–expensive red leather now stained an ugly green.

Pointing at her own shoe, she ordered arrogantly, “Lick it clean, mutt! If you do a good enough job, maybe I’ll toss you a few bucks. Otherwise, you won’t walk away from here today.”

Quincy had always despised Lily-

They’d been in the same year at school, but because Lily had skipped grades, she was three or four years younger than her classmates.
