Chapter 138 

Hmm?” 

Winona just doesn’t trust Sarah’s boyfriend, thinks he’s bad news, so she’s been trying to get Sarah to dump him. But Sarah’s got love on the brain, you know? So now she’s all mad at Winona. Then, to open Sarah’s eyes to the guy’s true colors, Winona staged this whole scene to get him to show his sleazy side. But when the dude showed his true face, Sarah didn’t get mad at himnope, she went straight to Winona and threw a fit. She accused Winona of sticking her nose where it didn’t belong, of being petty and not wanting to see her happy, even called Winona a disgraceful drama queen” 

Elysia frowned. She’s that clueless? You didn’t step in?” 

I did. I was so close to losing it, almost slapped her right there. If Winona hadn’t stopped me, I would have. I told her she was being ungrateful, and she just cried, saying, But I love him, what can I do? It’s not that he can’t leave me, it’s that I can’t leave him” 

Elysia was speechless

Zane continued, She’s a classic case of being lovestruck. My aunt’s family isn’t exactly living the dream, you know? They’re on welfare, and Sarah’s got a younger brother who dropped out early, old enough to get married but they’re still living in that old clapboard house. Winona and I know about their financial struggles, so we’ve been covering Sarah’s college tuition and living expensesBut after this mess, I cut her off. She got mad and didn’t dare confront me, so she took it out on Winona instead. No matter what I said, she wouldn’t listen. She just kept blaming Winona… 

That’s why she cursed Winona, why she was so hostile when she saw you, cause she knows you’re Winona’s bestie, guilt by association.” 

Elysia was silent

Zane continued, Winona’s a big star, always in the public eye. If something really happened to her, just think about the media frenzy, huh?” 

Elysia let out a deep breath, believing Zane’s words

It made sense; if anything happened to Winona, there was no way to keep it under wraps

Feeling relieved, Elysia steadied herself and looked at Sarah again, her brow furrowed, If what you’re saying is true, then isn’t she just an ingrate?” 

Putting it nicely, she’s an ingrate. But frankly, she’s a dog that bites the hand that feeds it

Zane didn’t object. Seeing Elysia’s complexion returning to normal, he felt a bit more at 

ease

I’m pissed at her too. I’m only looking after her for my aunt’s sake, as I’ve told you. My aunt paid for my high school, and I’m grateful to her, so I’m taking care of Sarah.”

Elysia said with a frown, Your aunt took care of you, and you should be grateful to her

but she never did anything for Winona. Winona doesn’t owe them anything and doesn’t deserve their curses.” 

Elysia was indignant on behalf of her friend
