MainNovelChapter 1353:
Finley spoke up. “Is there something you need?”
Sylvie realized that Finley was a bodyguard and didn’t dare to push past, knowing that would only bring trouble
upon herself. She said, “I'm an old friend of Miss Harper's. Just wanted to say hello.”
Whitney added, “Miss Richardson and | studied at the suniversity together before.”
Brenna kept her expression indifferent. Sylvie had always been Rosie's follower, so Brenna had no reason to
welcher. She replied coolly, “As | recall, we were never close. What do you need from me?”
Finley gave a slight, mocking smile. “If you've got something to say, say it here.”
Sylvie could only glare at Brenna in frustration. Every sharp word she wanted to throw at her died on her lips
thanks to the bodyguards standing guard. Defeated, she stayed silent.
Whitney, meanwhile, felt disdain toward Sylvie. How could she back down so easily like this? Trying another
tactic, Whitney focused on Lilith and gave her a faint smile. “So, Lilith, word is you're marrying Ernst, the Harper
Group's CEO. How did you manage to catch the attention of someone like that? Maybe you can share your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsecret, so | can try my luck with a wealthy man too.”
Initially, Lilith had been ready to reconnect with Whitney and keep things friendly, but the sarcasm in Whitney's
voice immediately changed her mind.
She said, “I doubt you'd be able to pull it off, Whitney. My mother and my fiancé’s mother have been best friends
for years. Unless your mother has a relationship like that, | don’t think there's much you can do.”
Brenna looked at Whitney, thinking she was foolish. She then exchanged a glance with Lilith, her voice calm as it
reached her ears. “You're going to run the Harper family someday. Are you really going to let her talk down to
you? Go on, show her who she’s dealing with.”

Lilith’s frustration simmered, and Brenna’s support gave her an extra boost of confidence. Sure, the Higgins
family had more money than the Richardson family, but compared to the Harper family, they didn’t even come
close. Whitney was foolish for daring to mock her.
“Tell me, does your mother spend twith people like that? | didn’t think so,” Lilith said, feeling bolder than
ever.
Whitney froze, her mouth hanging open. She hadn't expected Lilith to push back; she had been certain Lilith
would shrink back in embarrassment. “You really have no shame. How can you stand there and brag about being
a gold-digger?” Whitney shot back.
Lilith rose from her seat, eyeing Whitney from head to toe. “Callwhatever you want, but the truth is I've got
the looks, the style, and the confidence to hold my own. That's why I attract a man with money. Can you
honestly say the sabout yourself?”
Brenna flashed her a thumbs-up, silently urging Lilith to teach Whitney a lesson. With a smirk, Lilith continued,
“Take a hard look in the mirror. Even if rich men lined up around the block, not a single one would bother with
you. There's nothing special about your looks, no curves to catch anyone’s eye, and worst of all, you run your
mouth without a hint of charm. Who'd want someone like you?”
Whitney touched her face and glanced down at her chest, her cheeks flushing with anger. She snapped at Lilith,
“How can you say things like that? Chasing after money isn’t exactly something to be proud of! Does it really
make you better than everyone else? You're just being a bully!”
Tears pooled in Whitney's eyes as she lifted her hand, ready to slap Lilith across the face.
