Nina laughed. “Outstanding?

“So, tell me, why do you let that airhead hang around you?” She stood up, walked over to Ryan, and yanked him by the collar.

Ryan slipped his arm around Nina’s neck and playfully nipped at her lips. “Can I talk now?”

Nina felt a sting on her lips, so she gave Ryan’s cheek a quick pinch. “You’ve got one minute to explain yourself.”

“I never let that idiot hang around me. Jason just did it on his own. That’s my statement,” Ryan said, looking at Nina like a loyal guard dog.

He thought, ‘He had only been apart from her for a few days, but he was already missing her like crazy.

‘But she didn’t seem to miss me at all.

‘If Claire hadn’t stopped Nina outside the Hawthorne residence, I probably wouldn’t even know she was in Betrico by now.

‘Heartless.’

“Alright, you can shut up now,” Nina said, tapping Ryan’s lips with her finger and flashing him a sly smile. “At least you’re playing it straight.”

With that, Nina strode over to Claire, hooked a finger under her chin, and arched her brow. “Any guy I’ve slept with is off-limits. Even if I’m done with him, you’re still not getting a shot. Clear enough for you?”

Claire bit her lip. “You’re such a player!”

Nina let out a soft laugh. “Isn’t it obvious I’m a player? I figure the whole world knows now. But who cares?”

Claire was fuming.

She couldn’t believe there was a girl out there who’d be so bold. Just straight-up admitting she was a player.

Claire turned to Ryan. “Ryan, you heard her. She’s a total player. Are you really going to throw your feelings away on someone like her?”

Ryan stayed silent.

Ryan thought,’Nina told me to keep quiet.

‘So I keep mouth shut.’

Claire looked like she was about to cry. “Ryan. Say something!”

Ryan still didn’t say a word, not even sparing Claire a glance.

Claire stomped her foot in frustration, then turned to the four elders of the Foster family, who were hanging back. “Zachary, Maria, Charles, and Grace, Ryan is just letting himself get dragged down. Aren’t you going to step in?

“Nina has got a whole harem of guys. Who knows how many guys she is stringing along? Are you really going to let Ryan get played like this?”

Zachary immediately took a step back. “I don’t call the shots in the Foster family.”

Charles also stepped back. “Neither do I.”

That left Maria and Grace just staring at each other, wide-eyed and awkward.

Maria gave an awkward smile. “Guess that makes me the boss now?”

The other three started nodding like crazy.

Maria was speechless for a moment.

Maria cleared her throat. “So, Claire, you gotta chill. There are bad boys and bad girls out there, and Nina is one of the best at playing the game. Honestly, Ryan’s lucky to have landed her. It is like winning the lottery.

“Who cares how many guys Nina has got in her orbit? As long as Ryan is one of them, that’s all that matters. Times are changing, so we’ve got to keep up, right?

“And Claire, you’re a young woman. Have a little pride. Chasing after a guy who is just not into you, especially one who is pushing thirty? Not a good look. Jason has been into you for years. Why not give him a shot?” Maria added.

Claire was totally floored by what Maria just said.

She couldn’t believe her ears.

Claire thought, ‘Maria doesn’t just care that Nina is a player. Is she actually cheering her on for having a whole lineup of guys?

‘But that’s not even the craziest part.

‘Did anyone hear what she just said?

‘Maria doesn’t care that Nina is a total heartbreaker, but she is telling me to have some self-respect and quit embarrassing myself by chasing after Ryan.

‘Is it really okay for people to be this double standard?’

The villa suddenly went dead silent.

No one said a word.

Just then, a sharp ringtone shattered the quiet.

It was Nina’s phone ringing.

She glanced at the caller ID, then turned to the four elders of the Foster family. “I’m heading out, got things to do. Next time I show up, make sure you’ve dealt with this trash.

“Don’t let her parade in front of me again. I don’t care whose friend’s kid she is. If she tries me, I’ll be happy to show her just what a player like me can really do.”
