“You just got lucky, Nancy–you have rich parents. Other than money at home, what do you have that’s better than me?”
Nancy was stunned.
Susan had been born into a family that valued sons over daughters.
The first time Nancy met Susan, Susan wore shoes that didn’t fit and were torn so her toes showed, and her clothes were ragged. To spare her feelings, Nancy had lied and said the shoes were bought too large and couldn’t be returned, hoping Susan would wear them rather than waste them. She’d noticed Susan’s feet were a bit bigger than hers and had purposely bought shoes two sizes too big.
As their friendship grew, Nancy gave Susan jewelry and bags because Susan had admired them with a face full of envy and said how wonderful it would be if she owned such pretty things. Nancy thought a true friend shared good fortune. When she had something, she wanted Susan to have it too–so whenever she shopped, she’d bring something home for Susan.
She never imagined that what she considered kindness and care would feel like humiliation to
Susan.
When Nancy first learned Susan had tried to seduce Blanc and even wanted her dead, the pain nearly stopped her breath. She was shocked, disappointed, and couldn’t accept it. She couldn’t believe a childhood friend she’d stood by for so many years would stab her in the back.
After waking this afternoon she kept questioning herself—had she done something wrong to make Susan hate her so much? But once Susan spoke those words, Nancy was finally free of
doubt.
It wasn’t that Susan had changed; Susan had always been rotten. It had been Nancy’s mistake to misread her. Now that the truth was clear, she shouldn’t feel sorrow but relief that disaster had not yet been done.
The pain and confusion drained from her eyes and were replaced by cold detachment. She curled a sarcastic smile and said coolly, “Susan, you think when I bought you clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, even fed you, it was an insult. Fine–then don’t come to dinner when I invite you. Don’t accept the things I give you. If you’re that proud and noble, how could you possibly receive gifts from others?”
Susan’s pupils contracted; she fixed Nancy with a look full of venom. If the bodyguards weren’t holding her down, she would have leaped up and torn Nancy apart.
Unable to move, she twisted her face and snarled, “Nancy, your high–and–mighty act is disgusting. Do you think I wanted your things? You insisted on giving them; you insisted on

treating me. What else could I do but accept?”

Nancy couldn’t help laughing at the lie. Susan was obviously both greedy and demanding- always wanting more while pretending to be above it all. It was laughable that Nancy hadn’t seen those dark thoughts all these years.
Slap!
Susan’s hypocrisy was too much for Lily. She stepped forward and delivered several blows to Susan’s face.
“Susan, your sanctimonious act is the most disgusting thing about you. If you truly didn’t want what my mother gave you, you had hundreds of ways to refuse. Instead you always chose to take it. You’re pathetic and shameless–trying to get benefits from my mother while pretending moral purity. If you look down on what she gives you so much, give it all back!”
