After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 948

"Alright, alright, best friend, I’ll give you a certificate of excellence!" Maria laughed.

Tiana grinned cheekily, "Forget the certificate—just be my sister-in-law."

Maria gave her a sideways glance. "If I become your sister-in-law, your carefree days will be over."

"Why?" Tiana blinked her wide eyes in confusion.

"Because I’d team up with your mom and start arranging blind dates for you," Maria teased.

"No, please!" Tiana groaned dramatically, "I’m still young! I don’t want a boyfriend yet—don’t be so cruel!"

Maria chuckled. "Then you better stop meddling in my love life."

Tiana paused, then said, "Wait a minute. Does that mean you don’t like my brother?"

Her eyes gleamed as she added, "Do you like that pretty boy?”

"Huh?" Maria was caught off guard.

"You know, your business partner. He totally looks like a pretty boy—no real talent, just a bad attitude. You know what they call guys like him? A 'social climber!' And let me tell you, social climbers are not to be trusted.

“Their ego is through the roof, and they care way too much about appearances. If you help them climb the ladder, they’ll see you as an obstacle rather than someone who supports them. The moment they get the chance, they’ll kick you to the curb." Tiana's tone was serious, almost like she was giving a heartfelt warning.

Maria was stunned for a moment but then burst into laughter. "That sounds terrifying! Maybe I really should think this through."

Could Sidney be an ungrateful social climber?

Maria wasn’t sure, but one thing was certain—he definitely fit the "pretty boy" description.

Meanwhile, Tiana was thinking to herself, “Brother, I’ve done all I can. The rest is up to you!”

Elsewhere, Diana had been trying to reach Sidney, but he had turned her down several times, making it clear he didn’t want to continue their connection.
