‘I’m fine.”
Patricia tried her best to calm herself down. Then, she quickly sent a message to Amily.
“Amily, are you sure? Did Jack really give the concert ticket to Paige?”
“When Mrs. Lusk called, I was standing next to her. It’s absolutely true! Not only did Mr. Jack give the ticket to Paige, but he also gave her the best seat!”
Perhaps she had expected Patricia to be sad and disappointed, Amily couldn’t help but stand up for her.
‘ Mr. Jack has gone too far. He told you that they didn’t have any tickets, so they gave them to their own sister… They didn’t care about your feelings at all!”
The word “sister” stabbed Patricia in the heart.
Patricia didn’t expect that Jack was so gentle on the phone just now. He was lying to her!
“You just said that Mr. Hernan has a candidate for the charity party next week. Could it be Paige?” Amily sent another message and asked.
Patricia was stunned. “No way…”
“I wonder if you’ve noticed, Ms. Patricia, that the status of Paige in their hearts is getting more and more important, and you…” Amily added, “are starting to become unimportant.”
Patricia could not control her emotions. She said to her friends despondently, “I’m sorry, I need to go to the bathroom.”
Looking at her back, everyone was a little confused and couldn’t help whispering.
“Is Patricia on her period?”
“I guess it’s… her face is pale. Let’s wait for her.”
“To be honest, I think Paige from University of Illinois at Chicago plays the violin to the real peak. It sounds so good!”
‘ Me too. The moment her music came out, I was shocked. She played even better than my violin teacher.”
“Shh, lower your voice. Do you want Patricia to hear you? We still have to get close to her brothers through her in the future!”
Everyone made a gesture of silence and began to whisper after a while.
“If you become Patricia’s sister-in-law and I become Pamela… we can meet often in the future! Just like now, we often play together…”
“Hey, look, Kailyn has gone to the bathroom. Will she make trouble for Patricia?”
“Shall we go in and help Patricia?”
A curly-haired girl wanted to go in and help but was stopped by her friends.
“Don’t go! Did you forget what Patricia said last time? She said that she went to the hospital with Kailyn to visit Grandma. Kailyn beat her up on the fire stairs? We’re so weak. We’ll definitely be no match for her if we go in… What if our faces are ruined… How can we face others in the future?”
“Yeah, what if I have to eat with Hernan next? What if my face is ruined…”
“I’m going to see Jack at his concert. I can’t let my face get bruised…”
Although they knew that Kailyn would probably make trouble for Patricia, five or six girls did not dare to go in. They even deliberately went to a farther place to stroll around. They wanted to stay out of it and pretended not to notice the situation here.
As soon as Kailyn entered the bathroom, she heard Patricia asking her what to do with the person on the phone. Her voice sounded a little anxious and even a little crying.
“How did this happen… Why…” Patricia was on the verge of tears. However, when she inadvertently lifted her eyes, she noticed the person in the mirror, Kailyn.
Patricia subconsciously clenched her mobile phone. She didn’t know how long the despicable Kailyn had been eavesdropping here. She said to the person on the phone, “I’ll call you later.”
