Chapter 475
Louisa only wanted to laugh inside.
Love?
To the point of death?
The world of love–obsessed brains–normal people truly couldn’t relate.
Louisa internally ranted like crazy, but she still forced down her laughter, putting on a dejected expression with a bitter tone. “Why m me? You didn’t win either. We’re the same!”
Teresa flared up instantly. “Who’s the same as you?”
She crossed her arms, looking haughty and disdainful. “Louisa, after meeting Briar, don’t you feel crushed? Don’t you feel inferior? She real duke’s daughter. If she hadn’t been chasing her own dreams, where would you even fit in? You have no idea how gentle Julian is wi her, how different.”

Or was there something wrong with her eyes?
Any woman even remotely connected to Julian, and Teresa’s retinas automatically added a whole soap opera?

Adeline’s interference, Louisa and Julian would definitely break up.
And now, just as she’d predicted, Briar’s appearance had dealt Louisa a crushing blow.
After all, who could escape the devastation of a first love?
Louisa suddenly smiled, wiping away all traces of sadness from her face as she looked at Teresa.
Teresa felt her scalp prickle under that gaze. She snapped, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Louisa bent slightly to meet her eyes, her tone gentle. “Teresa, I’m only just realizing–you don’t actually love Julian that much after all. Otherwise, when you mention spending the night with his first love, why wasn’t there a trace of heartbreak on your face?”

Your entire dering whether I can beat Briar. Now I get it–you’re just resentful. It’s a sick kind of resentment. Maybe ou’re so trapped in your own world, you’ve become obsessed.”

But after the screaming subsided, she suddenly felt… lost.
Outside was the women’s emotional drama channel.
Inside was the suspense–thriller channel.
