The Girl They Ignored Returned as the Woman Seven Men Would Die For novel Chapter 156

How could a billionaire playboy like Lucas Lancaster possibly have the patience to sit around chatting with Mika on a college sports field?

Recalling the cold, defensive wall he threw up around her, a sickening wave of resentment crashed over Seraphina.

Why?!

Both her status and her beauty left Mika rotting in the dust.

Why couldn't he see her worth? Why was he so obsessed with that utterly average loser?!

Dragging her glare back to Tiana's profile picture, she carefully crafted a response, her expression entirely devoid of emotion.

[Babe, thank you so much for standing up for me. But Mika is incredibly manipulative. Most people probably just can't see through her.]

[If anything like this happens again, please let me know. I have no interest in competing with her, but I'm terrified she'll try to sabotage me behind my back.]

Seeing the reply, Tiana breathed a massive sigh of relief.

Ever since the news broke that Seraphina had been claimed by the Jace family, she had taken a leave of absence to film and hadn't set foot on campus.

She'd probably just commute from the Jace estate from now on.

They hadn't really spoken much lately.

Tiana had finally made a friend, and now that friend was basically royalty.

Plagued by insecurity, she was terrified Seraphina would think she was beneath her. That was the only reason she had immediately texted her about Mika.

After all, nothing bonded girls faster than a mutual enemy.

The fact that Seraphina had bothered to reply eased the suffocating anxiety in her chest.

[Don't worry, we're besties. I'll keep a close eye on her for you.]

[If anything happens on campus, you'll be the first to know!]

Seraphina stared at the word *besties*, a faint sneer tugging at her lips.

Besties?

[I just started on set. If I see a role that fits you, I'll definitely put in a good word with the director.

We can act together and make it big side by side!]

Unsurprisingly, the offer struck a massive chord with Tiana.

She came from an average background and was only moderately pretty.

Even with a drama degree, she'd likely spend years playing extras and corpses, clawing her way up from the very bottom of the entertainment industry.

But if Seraphina actually got her a real role—even a minor one with a few lines...

It would save her years of suffering.

Overcome with gratitude and excitement, Tiana pledged absolute loyalty.

[Got it! Don't worry, I'm going to sign up for the therapy club today. That way I can keep an even closer watch on her!]

[She ruined your reputation. The second I get a chance, I'll make her pay for what she did to you!]
