At that moment, Jeanne felt humiliated and was filled with anger.
Megan found Blake disgusting and even threw his cup away. However, she said she would dress Jeanne up and introduce the latter to him instead.
Then, she even said Jeanne might not be able to leave a deep impression on Blake's mind.
So, Megan was clearly looking down on Jeanne, thinking that she had to dress up just to get close to Blake. Not only that, but Megan also thought it would just be a fling.
She might be a bully, but there had never been a bully like her before. Megan was going too far.
However, it wouldn't be the first time for her. Although she seemed to be besties with Jeanne, their relationship had deteriorated since Megan's climb in the ranks in society. So, Jeanna could do nothing about it other than suppress her anger.
"You've misunderstood me, Megan. I just thought that we shouldn't offend him because he was from the Norwich family. I have nothing else in mind."
Megan continued to look at her and scoffed. "That'd better be the case. However, it doesn't matter if it was a misunderstanding. You've been single for so long now. Is there really no one who's interested in you, or are your standards too high? You should have a clear answer to that.
"I know you've been competing with me all this time and think you're better than me. However, you just can't compare to me at all, so I bet you're upset about it, right? Do you dream of replacing me one day as well?"
Upon saying that, Megan stood up and approached Jeanne. She was going all out at that moment.
When Jeanne heard what Megan had said, fear filled her gaze, and she hurriedly shook her head. "You've misunderstood me, Megan. That's not true at all!"
"Previously, she saw me hugging Nolan, so I bet she's upset about it. So, go and comfort her. While you're at it, prepare the appraisal for the Crystal of Devotion."
Suddenly, she smiled and continued, "Lady luck sure is on my side now. Since Mr. Norwich is here in Bellington, his words can make things way easier for us."
When Jeanne heard that, her eyes lit up. Then, she thought of something.
"Megan, do you think Mr. Norwich will be excited when he sees Audrey? After all, from what I could see, he seemed like a pervert. He's definitely not as simple as he looks."
Megan nodded and didn't seem to care. "Well, whatever. It has nothing to do with me anyway. I just want to make Audrey see the truth and teach Nolan the meaning of having regrets. So, nothing else matters, and you can do whatever you see fit."
