She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 296

Elsewhere, just as Lyra was about to get into her car and leave, she ran into a few girls from her high school.

"Lyra Fairchild!"

Among them was Yvonne Ziegler, the niece of the man responsible for the yacht incident.

They had been bitter rivals back in high school, and seeing her now, the hostility in Yvonne's eyes was even fiercer than before.

"Lyra, it's been three years and my uncle is still rotting in jail."

"And why are you telling me this?" Lyra asked flatly.

"Go talk to Rowan! Tell him to let him go!" Yvonne's voice spiked in pitch.

Lyra stared at her. "My relationship with him is no better than yours."

Yvonne was furious. "It's all your fault! You're the reason that other woman managed to sink her claws into him!"

Back in high school, they had fought tooth and nail over Rowan, turning the classroom into a battleground. In the end, neither of them won him. Just when they were nearing college graduation and thought it was time to talk marriage, some random beauty from Irving City showed up and claimed him before she even unpacked her bags.

Yvonne suddenly let out a vicious laugh. "And that bitch Jasmine was brought into his life by you! Your mother's old classmate's daughter! You really are... spectacularly competent, Lyra! If you weren't so stupid..."

The friend next to Yvonne quickly tugged on her sleeve, signaling her to keep her voice down. Insulting Rowan's girlfriend in public was a death wish if anyone overheard.

Remembering that she still needed to go beg Rowan for mercy, Yvonne decided to swallow the rest of her insults.

"You brought this entirely on yourself, Lyra!" Yvonne spat, storming off in a fury.

Her friend lingered for a second, looking at Lyra with a complicated expression. "Your situation is pretty pathetic, I have to admit."

With that final remark, she hurried after Yvonne.

... Lyra sat alone in her car, the silence pressing in around her. She leaned back against the headrest, wishing she had been reborn just one day earlier.
