Holly looked into Alexis' cold eyes again.
“Don't I even have the right to love someone, Alexis?" she asked bitterly. Holly was feeling feverish and
uncomfortable. After Alexis lectured her, she felt worse.
“Yes, you do. It's not a crime to fall in love and yearn for someone, but you made a mistake, Holly." Alexis reminded
her calmly.
She could fall in love with Westley, of course. He wouldn't give a damn as long as it didn't affect him personally.
“Oh, really? But why do you keep telling me that I have no right to fall in love with Westley? He was the only person
I've ever loved like this and no one can take his place. What do you want me to do?" Holly helplessly tried to get her
feelings across, her face drowning in sadness.
She couldn't understand why Alexis had to be unnecessarily mean about her unrequited love. It was more brutal
than any kind of pain.
"I didn't say that you're not allowed to fall in love with Westley. You're forgetting that you're just one of the many
women who dream of him. But do you know the difference? Those women left Westley alone. You did the opposite
and dared to destroy his happiness." Alexis made it clear this time.
He hoped that Holly would realize her own mistake and stop chasing things that she would never have. Her efforts
would only be in vain. ;
After all, they had known each other for a long time. He didn't want to throw away their friendship just because of
this.
Nobody wanted this to happen. 3
“Is Gabrielle that great? Westley chose her, but she won you over, too!" Although Holly didn't want to admit how
charming Gabrielle was, it was a truth no one could deny.
Not only had she made Westley admit their marriage and fall head over heels for her, but she had also won the
trust of his friends and other people completely. They lavished her with praises. What tricks did she use to get their
attention?
She still remembered how all the people praised Gabrielle when they had lunch together.
“We don't have to flatter people to earn our bread. If she’s not a good woman, we wouldn't shower her with praises.
You don't know her well, that's why you can't tell what kind of person she is. In other words, don't assume things when you know nothing about someone. Well, let's jump out of this cable car." When it came to a stop, Alexis opened the door and got off first.
Westley and Gabrielle were waiting for them up ahead. Westley held her hand in the pocket of his coat. Because of
the distinct romantic mood around them, they drew everyone's attention. They acted as if they were surrounded by pink bubbles of love.
Of course, Holly was the only person who didn’t want to witness their public display of affection. She feebly exited
the cable car and cast a glance at the sweet couple in front of her. She felt weaker and uncomfortable right after.
“Holly, are you okay? You look so pale," Gabrielle asked worriedly. Gabrielle genuinely cared about her. After all, they were acquaintances who knew each other to some degree. If Holly
was really sick, she needed to be taken care of. She didn't know if Holly would appreciate it, though. After all, Holly despised her and considered her as an enemy because they loved the same man. Why would a rival care anyway?
Perhaps Gabrielle thought that she had the upper hand. But in Holly's eyes, Gabrielle didn't care about her at all regardless of her intentions.
‘I'm perfectly fine." Holly tried to keep a straight face and acted like she was okay. She didn't want to lose her pride in front of her rival.
Holly was proud to be one of the most well-known women in the city. She could never allow Gabrielle to beat her, so
she had to keep her head held high in front of her rival.
‘Even if I lose in the game of love, I can't allow myself to lose my pride!’
“That's good to hear. I'm relieved. I was so worried you'd catch a cold staying out in the mountains for so long. If it
