Chapter 51 - 54: The Best Friend Turns Out to be a Scheming Woman
“Lily, you’re finally here.”
As soon as Lily Gray entered the store, a delicate voice called out to her.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Vivian Walters in a white one-piece dress, standing in front of a row of dresses and waving at her.
Vivian looked just as pure and feminine as she did on television.
At the same time, Vivian also noticed the changes in Lily.
She had always known that Lily had a charming face, but with her black-framed glasses, it was not as noticeable. Now that she had removed the glasses, her captivating peach blossom eyes seemed almost capable of speaking.
Vivian felt annoyed and was determined to find a chance to persuade Lily to put her glasses back on.
“I’m sorry, I was late because of traffic.” Lily approached Vivian with a smile.
What she didn’t know was that as she walked towards Vivian, Vivian was secretly scrutinizing her outfit.
A black knitted top, no discernible brand.
Ordinary jeans, which clearly didn’t seem high-quality.
High heels she hadn’t seen before.
And the purse on her shoulder, also unfamiliar and lacking a logo, likely not a high-end brand.
After checking Lily from head to toe, the only thing Vivian could recognize was the orange silk scarf she was wearing, which was from the H family.
However, H family scarves usually cost less than fifteen hundred dollars. Having something worth less than a thousand dollars around her neck… ha.
Vivian couldn’t help but scoff in her heart.
So it was true that she had been driven out of the Gray family. Poor Lily Gray, with nothing left to hide her shame but a single scarf, she certainly had fallen on hard times.
“You’re so mean! 1 thought you weren’t going to show up!” Vivian feigned affection while linking arms with Lily, “Come on, help me pick out a dress for our class reunion next week.”
“A class reunion, which class reunion?” Lily asked as she helped Vivian look at dresses.
“Our university class reunion, didn’t you see the notice in the WhatsApp group?”
It finally dawned on Lily, “Oh, 1 lost my cell phone two weeks ago and just got a new one. 1 forgot to check WhatsApp.”
As she spoke, she took out her phone and logged into WhatsApp.
Sure enough, hundreds of new messages popped up as soon as she logged in.
“I’ll read them later, there are too many messages.” Lily put her phone back in her purse, and Vivian felt extremely annoyed.
How irritating! She couldn’t wait to see the expression on Lily’s face after she read those messages.
But nevermind, she would see them eventually. For now, Vivian focused on humiliating her as much as possible.
Vivian had chosen the most expensive dress in the store, a custom-made piece that had just arrived from Milan.
She picked this dress on purpose to show Lily that she, Vivian Walters, could now afford such high-end clothing.
However, after examining the dress for a while, Lily shook her head and said, “This dress doesn’t suit you. It’s too mature.”
Vivian had a sweet and innocent appearance, and her image in the entertainment circle also followed the same path. Lily was right; the dark-colored dress was indeed not suitable for Vivian.
“Really? I don’t think so… I fell in love with this dress the moment 1 saw it.”
Vivian pretended to be reluctant to let go of the dress and turned to the salesperson, asking, “Do you think this dress looks good on me? My friend thinks it’s not very suitable!”
Her voice was delicate and charming, making it seem like she was genuinely seeking advice from others..
