Vickie suddenly thought about what Andrea said about concubines earlier, and a faint mocking light surfaced under her eyes.
“Do you need something?”
She spoke casually.
Yuliana seemed to be especially happy today. She swayed her hips as she walked up to Vickie and said, “It’s nothing. Gregory just sent someone to bring a lot of good things over, so I thought, since you’re also here, I specially sent over a few for you. I can’t just enjoy all the good stuff myself. Look.”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and Ginny immediately came over with a tray.
Yuliana picked up the contents of the tray and put them on the table in front of her.
“A first-rate Changbai Mountain Ginseng. If stewed, not only can it beautify your skin, it’s also good for longevity. You can have this.”
Vickie’s gaze fell on the ginseng that had been thrown on the table.
At this moment, Andrea just happened to finish putting away the dishes and was making her way back when she saw this scene, and her expression immediately darkened.
She lowered her head and hurried over to stand beside Vickie.
“Miss Thomas…”
She thought that Vickie would fight back in anger.
However, she only smiled.
Vickie raised her hand and examined the ginseng, and smiled. “It really is first-rate. In that case, thank you very much.”
Then, she handed it over to Andrea.
“Andrea, keep it.”
Andrea was shocked and widened her eyes.
“Miss Thomas, this…”
Vickie smiled. “It’s a gift from Miss Lynch. How can we brush off her kindness?”
Her fresh and light-hearted appearance was like a clear spring and doused the anger in Andrea’s heart immediately.
She lowered her head and took the ginseng, and said softly, “Yes.”
On the other side, Yuliana saw this happen and for some reason felt like she was just punching cotton, making her feel a bit stuffy.
She laughed coldly. “Vickie, did you know? Gregory and I are getting married.”
Vickie’s fingers froze.
She looked at Yuliana calmly. “I know. You told me before.”
Yuliana. “...”
She gritted her teeth and gnashed out in a low voice, “Aren’t you jealous?”
Vickie laughed softly.
Her fingers slowly dug into her palms as if to pinch into her flesh, but the smile on her face was calm as if nothing happened.
“Why should I be jealous that you’re getting married to him? I don’t love him.”
What?
Yuliana was stunned. Just then, she caught sight of a familiar figure approaching not far away out of the corner of her eye.
She immediately laughed and straightened up. Her laughter was light and charming. “That’s right, although I heard that Gregory and you were childhood sweethearts and you used to be together for a long time, that’s all your relationship amounted to. When you’re in love, it’s like a powerful force of nature, but when the love is gone, you’ll be nothing more than strangers. That’s why I understand your current thoughts.”
As she spoke, she kept glancing in the direction of the stairs.
However, the person suddenly stood there, motionless.
Vickie did not see the scene as she was facing away from the entrance.
She only felt as if her heart had been pricked by something. It was not painful, but it was a strange discomfort.
