“Don't leave just yet. We rarely see each other. You don’t have to feel bad, even if you’re not doing well. We won’t make fun of you.”

Shirley looked at her with sympathy.

“It's quite a coincidence. | happened to be having a meal with some classmates. Why not join us? After all, you will never get into any of the high-end restaurants. Come and experience it with us.”

Grace smiled and chastised in annoyance, “Shirley, are you ever going to stop?

“You were always behind me when we were in school. Why are your still behaving like this now? You're acting arrogant just because you

have some money. “Don’t you know there will always be someone better? Be careful. You might bite off more than you can chew.”

Shirley hadn't expected Grace’s mouth to be as sharp as ever. She had never managed to take advantage of Grace before, and now she couldn’t argue with her.

However, this only strengthened her determination to give Grace a

hard time.

Today, she would teach Grace a lesson and make her realize that they were worlds apart.

People like Grace from poor backgrounds only deserved to be at her

service.

“It's just old classmates having a meal together. Grace, don’t be rude. ‘As Shirley spoke, she gave her lackeys a look. +25 BONUS

They quickly caught on and approached Grace, tugging at her sides.

“Shirley is inviting you to dinner as a gesture of goodwill. Not everyone gets this opportunity. Don’t refuse her.” They pulled her into the car without giving Grace a chance to refuse.

Grace had no intention of paying attention to them, but their

persistence ignited a fire in her heart. Since they were so insistent,

Grace wouldn't hold back.

In the car, Shirley deliberately placed her newly bought Hermes bag

before them.

Nora quickly said, “Shirley, is this the latest style? | heard it’s very

expensive. It’s over a hundred thousand dollars for one bag.”

Kimberly added, “It’s not just about money. You need to be a VVIP to

get one. This is a limited edition. Shirley, I’m so jealous.”

Shirley enjoyed the flattery, feeling triumphant. She watched Grace carefully, thinking the latter probably wouldn’t even recognize the brand, and pretended to explain.

“It's just a bag, nothing special. Last month, my dad gave me a villa worth only five million dollars.” “Wow! A five-million-dollar villa is a luxury home!”

“Shirley, | want to visit your house.”

Shirley cleared her throat and said, “It’s still under renovation. I'll invite you all when it’s done.” “Shirley, you’re so generous.”

“That’s right, Shirley! We love you so much!”

Grace was speechless. She couldn't help but laugh.

Shirley's expression suddenly turned dark.

“What are you laughing at?”

Grace shrugged and said, “Nothing. | just find your conversation amusing.”

Nora quickly chimed in, “I think you’re just jealous of Shirley. After all, you could never earn five million dollars, let alone buy a villa, even if you worked your entire life.”

“That’s right, jealousy is a disease that needs to be cured.”

Upon hearing that, Grace mercilessly exposed Shirley. “Isn’t that bag from last year’s collection? The new one this year looks completely different.”

As soon as she said that, Shirley's face fell, and she hastily retorted, ” Grace, you’re spouting nonsense. You don’t understand this stuff at

all.” “You know clearly if it's nonsense. Care to compare it with the official website's new models?”
