Nancy nodded her head as she said, "That was just one of the many reasons."
Taking a deep breath, Summer thought, 'There is still more?! Just how displeased is she with me?'
"Do you know what I hate most about you? Even though our appearances and capabilities are on par,
all the acknowledgments and compliments would surely go to you. No matter how much I do or how
hard I try to be better, I would receive none of those, but that was still fine to me until you lied and hid
the truth from me. That was the last straw."
Sitting on the sofa, she sneered as she continued her rant, "I saw you as my closest friend. In the times
when you were in a pinch, when have I not been there for you?"
Whenever Summer had asked for her help, Nancy would be there, and she had helped Summer plenty.
When Summer could not go for classes, she had filled i n for her classes.
When Summer did not have a place to stay, she gave summer her contacts and even took days off
from work to help her clean her new place.
"I was having a major crisis, and I had even begged
you for help, but all you did was lie in my face even though you were capable of helping me! Am I just a
joke to you, Summer Hart?!"
Other than that, what made Nancy feel the most upset and embarrassed was how Mark did not even
spare her a single glance when she threw herself at him.
She had swallowed all the remaining pride she had left and tried to seduce him, yet what she got in
return were shame and humiliation.
'Perhaps in his eyes, women like me are seen as trash but just what is it that Summer has that I don't?’
Nancy thought bitterly.
It seems Summer did not truly understand her best friend after all. All this while, she did not know
Nancy had harbored all those grudges against her.
She tried to explain, "I told you, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It was complicated, and there were
some complications back then!"
As if she heard something hilarious, Nancy cackled loudly. She said, "You were getting married to the
director of the most powerful company in Santabaca, yet you say there were complications? Or are you
trying to flaunt, or is it simply just to trigger me?"
Hearing so, Summer replied sullenly.
"We have been friends for three years, and I thought w e understood each other well. I guess
everything I thought we had was one-sided, and it was all just a joke. If you can't understand where I'm
coming from and think that it's just to mock you, then I won't explain any more to you..."
She continued, "From this moment on, we are no longer friends, but I have to let you know one thing. I
a m certain that I haven't done or sacrificed any less for you back in the days."
Summer felt that it was meaningless to pinpoint and list every single time or thing she had done for
Nancy, such as helping Nancy pay for her tuition fees for 2 years and her brother's.
If Summer were to bring up these favors, she knew Nancy could not take it based on her understanding
of Nancy's prideful personality. Nancy’s pride would not be able to take it, and she would overthink and
complicate things even further, which was why Summer did not want to mention anything else.
"Since you've always thought of me as a hindrance who snatched your spotlight, today onwards, I will
stay as far as I can from you, so you can have the chance to shine and get all the acknowledgments
and attention you have always wanted. However..."
Summer paused as she stepped forward and raised her hand.
Smack.
She gave Nancy a hard slap on her cheek and continued her words sternly.
"This slap is for what you have done to hurt me. You know what you did."
Immediately after, she turned on her heel and strode out the house without sparing a glance to Nancy. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
She paused as she passed by the third floor. She turned to face Mark as she told him, "I'm going to
visit my parents for a bit."
He glanced at her. She looked calm, but her pale cheeks remained flushed as her eyes glinted with
emotion, making her appear alluring, and he was almost tempted to caress her cheek.
"Okay," he replied as he gazed into her eyes, and after checking the time, he said, "I'll head to the
office for some work."
Speaking up, she answered, "Drive safe and take care."
She watched as he left, and only when his lean figure was out of sight did she turn on her heel and
headed towards her parents’ house.
Amara had answered the door, and immediately, Summer’s face darkened as she asked, "Why are you
here?"
"Why can't I be here? This is my home too. Where else should I be if not here?” Amara refuted as she
did her manicure, the smell of her nail polish horrid.
Walking past her, Summer went directly to her dad's room and asked him, "Dad, why is she here?
Have you forgotten what you and mom had promised me before?"
