Jason had reserved a corner table by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The two of them sat down and started ordering.

Near the restaurant entrance, Maxwell noticed Nicolas’ foul mood. He reached out and patted his friend’s shoulder. “Are we still eating, or what?”

He’d completely lost his appetite, and his best friend had been pissed off even worse by Alicia.

Nicolas took a deep breath and let out a cold laugh. “Of course we’re eating. If they can eat here, why can’t We?”

Then he stormed toward their reserved table inside.

Maxwell looked at Nicole with a headache coming on. “We should go too.”

Nicole showed no unusual reaction and nodded thoughtfully. “Okay.”

She never caused scenes with them or argued back. Even when she cried and played the victim, she knew precisely what setting was appropriate.

Part of why she hated Alicia so much was that she envied how Alicia could throw tantrums whenever she wanted.

Alicia could flip tables without caring about the setting and live so boldly and freely.

By sheer coincidence, Nicolas had reserved a table diagonally across from where Alicia and her companion were sitting.

After they sat down, they were far enough away that they couldn’t hear the conversation, but they could see everything clearly.

Nicolas sat down and stared at the two of them expressionlessly,

Maxwell and Nicole joined him and asked him to order. He kept staring in that direction without moving, “You guys order. I’m fine with anything.”

Maxwell let Nicole order, then looked in that direction too.

Meanwhile, Alicia and Jason each ordered their favorite dishes.

Jason noticed her smiling expression and asked with a grin. “You’re in a good mood?”

Alicia took a sip of water. “Yeah, I am.”

She was completely open with Jason. “I just realized that after switching roles with them, being even more hypocritical than they are feels amazing.”

All she’d done was argue repeatedly, give them the silent treatment, and make huge scenes. She’d only ended up furious herself.

Now she only had to piss them off while she enjoyed herself.

Alicia thought to herself, ‘Turns out when you stop caring what people think, no one can hurt you anymore.

Jason nodded and said, “I can tell.” He hadn’t expected her to pull a stunt like that out of nowhere.

Watching Nicolas’ face turn ashen because she’d defended Jason and praised him actually gave Jason a rare sense of satisfaction.

Alicia leaned in and told him, “You don’t have to hold back anymore either. If someone needs to be called out, call them out. If you need to go off, go off. If they’re going to be hypocrites, beat them at their own game.”

She grinned and added, “Just make sure you piss them off and enjoy yourself. That’s what matters.”

Jason couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Looks like you’ve had an epiphany.”

He could see she’d genuinely let go and stopped caring, and she seemed so much brighter and more alive because of it.

“Damn right I have,” Alicia said, winking at him. “Once you get the hang of it, you’ll destroy them every time.”

Jason’s situation at home was even worse than hers. He had a father who played favorites, a mother who was blinded by love, and a vicious half-brother on top of it all.

Just surviving in the Farrell family felt like a daily battle.

Jason nodded with mock seriousness and said, “Alright, I’ll make sure to learn from the master.”

Honestly, after watching that whole scene play out, he’d picked up quite a few pointers.
