Lachlan looked at Summer in surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong. He was so embarrassed now.
Summer didn't even look at Lachlan. She just walked past him and ignored him. Not far from the pharmacy, there was a beautiful girl. It was Jessica who was waiting for her.
The moment Summer saw Jessica, tears almost came out of her eyes. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything because of getting choked up. Jessica looked at Summer, and became so gentle.
"Jessica! I'm back!"
Summer felt warm, ran to Jessica quickly and hugged her.
"Summer, you really changed a lot. I don't even recognize you anymore. You’re more beautiful, just like a famous star. So stunning!"
Jessica embraced Summer for a while, then the two separated. Jessica looked Summer up and down with a smile for a long time.
"Jessica, you saved me! If you hadn't given me the chance to be reborn, I would always live in low self-esteem, and I would never be as confident as I am now. What you gave me is a panacea. Thank you very much!"
Summer blinked at Jessica naughtily.
"We’re friends. Besides, you have already helped me realize my wish. Ink lotus is the best gift you gave to me!"
Jessica smiled, then she leaned to Summer's ear and whispered.
Summer and Jessica had not seen each other for a long time. Now, they talked very happily. Lachlan stood there and wanted to leave, but he couldn't move for some reason. Lachlan originally thought that Summer was still the same as before and she would fall madly in love with him. But Summer actually asked him to get out in front of everyone.
Not only that, Lachlan also heard the sneering and laughter of his colleagues around him, saying that he deserved it.
"Lachlan is really disgusting. Before, he despised Summer and scolded her. Now Summer is so beautiful, but he actually thought she would continue to like him! So selfish and narcissistic!"
"How could Summer like him now? Women will only make a mistake in love once. Besides, Lachlan is still a scumbag."
"Hey, didn't you see it? Lachlan is always obsessed with Leila. But Leila only loves Lorenzo."
"Summer bet on the wrong horse. Now, after she knows it, she becomes so beautiful and charming. I admire Summer can persist until now. If I were her, I would have dumped this shameless scumbag!"
"Summer is so stunning now. In the future, she will have more and more suitors!"
"Wait! What do you mean? She has already had suitors?"
Listening to the whispers of his colleagues, Lachlan felt so embarrassed and upset. He was so shamed now!
"Hey! Look over there!"
"Oh my God! It’s Leila!"
"What is she doing here?"
Because of the previous incident, Jessica and Leila had long become well-known celebrities. As soon as the topic about Lachlan was over, everyone started to talk about Leila again.
Leila looked very decadent, as if she had suffered a huge blow overnight. Before, every time when those colleagues saw Leila, it was like seeing the Queen in person. Today, Leila was dressed in a gray suit, looking ill.
"Leila? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Leila coming, Lachlan hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Sorry, it was all my fault. If it were me, you wouldn't have to be so embarrassed."
Leila bowed her head. Her voice was so light.
"Leila, I didn't blame you. You don't have to blame yourself like this. I understand you."
When Lachlan saw Leila looked so pity, he was moved and didn’t have the heart to blame her.
"Jessica, forgive me what I did before. I’m sorry. I misunderstood. I really know I'm wrong. Please let me go, and also my family and friends. They are all innocent. It's all my fault..."
Leila walked in front of Jessica step by step. She said sadly and miserably.
"Leila, are you acting? Others may not know what kind of person you are, but I know you well!"
Nice try!
This was Leila's true face. If she easily admitted defeat, she wouldn’t be Leila!
Jessica smiled.
Leila shed crocodile tears. She was more vicious and scheming than Aminah. Jessica thought that Leila would stop here.
But no!
"Jessica, you really can't blame me. I'm really innocent... Back then, when father sent you to the wildness, I was sad and didn’t want to leave you, but what could I do? When you drifted from place to place, I was studying in good schools. I am sorry for you."
"Jessica, I was wrong. I'm really sorry."
Leila said, and suddenly knelt down to Jessica in front of everyone.
Everyone could not have imagined that they would see such a scene. They all gasped. Even Summer, if she hadn't known Leila’s true face, she would have believed the scene in front of her.
Summer's mouth widened in surprise and her eyes also widened open. She forgot to react for a while. Leila was really so mean! To get what she wanted, she was even so humble!
"Jessica, I sincerely apologize to you. I beg you sincerely. I beg you to let me go."
"I know that your backing is extremely powerful now. Killing me is like killing an ant. It’s so easy."
"Recently, I've been driven crazy by your fans. I don't know how they knew my private address. They sent me a lot of threatening letters with blood and cursed dolls. They also poured paint to my house. Some even cursed me, letting me go to the hell."
"Jessica, I kowtowed to you. I know I was wrong! Please let me go! Please forgive me!"
Everyone was surprised. But Jessica didn't buy it. Leila's performance could only make people who don't know the truth to sympathize with her. Jessica had seen Leila’s tricks many times. Now, she played it again!
Sure enough, she could do anything to achieve the goals. To make Jessica embarrassed, she even could do such shameless things and even abandoned her dignity.
