Nina noticed that Katrina and Chase had switched back to matching couple profile pictures- and were openly showing off their relationship on Instagram.
In the classroom, a few students were whispering among themselves. The moment Nina walked in, the chatter stopped. Everyone looked at her with strange expressions.
She found it odd but didn’t react, simply returning to her seat.
Tara walked over and stopped in front of her. “Nina, be honest–where did you get your plastic surgery done?”
“Plastic surgery?”
“If you didn’t have work done, how did you suddenly get so pretty?” Tara let out a mocking laugh. “Stop pretending. Someone in our class saw you at a cosmetic clinic. You even had liposuction, right? Honestly, you’ve really gone all out just to win Chase over.”
Nina almost laughed at how confident Tara sounded. “Who told you I had liposuction? And who said I went to a cosmetic clinic?”
“That’s not the point! Someone saw you–that’s enough,” Tara shot back, completely self- assured. “Nina, let me make one thing clear. Chase and Katrina are very close. Stop trying to get involved with him!”

Watching Katrina put on that innocent, conciliatory act, Nina was reminded of her past life.
Katrina had always played the same role in front of Chase.
Back then, when Nina’s two children had said a single word about Katrina being fake and manipulative, Chase had slapped them in public.
Later, for Katrina’s sake, he had even caused the death of their child.
Nina’s voice turned cold. “Katrina, don’t you get tired of putting on this act?”
“Nina… what are you talking about? Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?”
