Chapter 45

“That’s the princess of the Carte family?”

“I never knew she was like this.”

“Just too bossy and rude.” Another person shook his head.

“Bullying her own cousin like that? Unbelievable.”

I kept my gaze on my shoes, unable to continue looking at their faces but it was like their voices seemed to reach my ears.

you saw that livestream.”

“I would imagine. Even her brother who she just met doesn’t like her. That

should tell you enough.”

I must have been staring at the ground for a long time as my head continued to swarm with all their words.
