Sarah always thought that Brian had feelings for her before. If he had liked her once, he might fall in love with her again in the future. She must have done something wrong, prompting him to leave her for someone else. Sarah often thought about the days when they were together to recall if she had done something stupid that pissed Brian off. She also often fantasized about their married life. She decided that if she married Brian in the future, she would be obedient to him, so that he would fall in love with her again.
But now, she realized that she was too naive.
Whatever she did, Brian would not fall in love with her.
She didn't tell anyone that she had learned how to cook Brian's favorite dishes. In order to prepare his favorite dishes by herself, she had hired a chef to teach her how to cook. She had spent a lot of time on it. After a month of practice, even the chef thought that the particular dish she made for Brian was delicious. But when she brought the dishes to Brian, he refused her ruthlessly. She hadn't even gotten to see his face, let alone making him taste her cooking.
Brian would rather go into the army than agree to meet her.
All the time she had thought that she would eventually marry Brian, so she kept telling herself that everything would be fine after they got married. But today, she realized that she was fooling herself into believing that she would marry Brian.
It turned out that Brian never thought about marrying her. He had been fighting against his family to marry Bonny Lu. In fact, Bonny was the woman he wanted to get married with.
"So? Miss Shen, now that you know their scheme, what do you have in mind? We feel really sorry for you. We really do. Don't you think Linda is a bitch? She is going to ruin your wedding with Brian."
Sarah didn't say a word, as she was still digesting what she had heard.
Jessie poked Rosy in the ribs, gesturing her to go on.
Rosy understood what she meant at once. Sarah was about to break down. If they continued to push her, she would crack up at any minute.
"Oh right! There is one more thing. Do you still remember the time when your best friend, Amy Qi, fell off a building? That night, she had attended a dinner hosted by the Nalan clan. But she had ended up falling off a building. Don't you find it odd?"
Sarah's eyes brightened up a bit. She raised her head, looked at Rosy, and said, "How do you know about that? Do you know the whole story?"
"Of course, I do. The whole thing was planned by Haley. She is vicious. She locked Amy up in the toilet, and then she released many insects and scorpions into it. We believed that Amy was so scared that she had to jump off the building."
Sarah's eyes moistened. She had very few friends when she grew up. Amy was her best friend. Even though she knew well that Amy sometimes used her as a pawn, she was willing to help her.
Now, Amy was dead. Sarah always felt that there was something missing in her life. She had lost her best friend all of a sudden. Every time she thought about Amy, her heart ached.
Sarah deliberately stopped herself from thinking about Amy in the past few days. She didn't think about taking revenge anymore, either. She just wanted to marry Brian and start again with him.
She was shocked at Amy's incident that very day. After that accident, she had stayed in Amy's house for a while. She wanted to stay with her and look after her in such a difficult time.
Amy never told her what had happened that day. How could she end up falling off a building? What had happened to her in the bathroom on the fifth floor? Sarah never thought that Amy had been through such horrible things.
She knew well that Amy was terrified of all kinds of insects. She must have freaked out completely.
Sarah's heart ached for Amy.
